BLUEWATER SAILING FIJI TO NZ - Addiction and BIG seas
Just when we thought it was safe to go back out on deck, a couple of rogue waves send us sideways. The aftermath is a sore hand, scolded legs and tattered nerves. Old habits begin to resurface.
Bob the auto-pilot also gets in to the swing of it all and goes nuts.
A big thank you to Granny for stepping up to narrate

This is great! Definitely the gold standard for sailing vlogs
Thank you for your marvellous observation. Much as we would love to think you're right we suspect you're wearing rose tinted glasses. Either that or this is the only sailing vlog you've seen. 😁
@@TheCruisingKiwis When you get a chance, fabricate guide rails, and maybe attach with wing nuts to the base of your cook top to restrain the walkabout hot water jug.
@@rogerjamespaul5528 yeah we've sourced some that do the job nicely.
@@rogerjamespaul5528 They never needed any guide rails in any of the Star Wars movies. True!
Sailing at its finest. Always a treat with you people. Glad the injuries were minor; your stoicism is commendable!
Best regards, Daniel Wardin.
Rachel hates her narration (which I think is, at worst, quirky) and we both anxted about the addictions skit.
Its a different narration, but not bad at all! And very well filmed, given the rough conditions and the "mental pain" of being restrain inside the cabin for so long. I id felt the boredoom, tenssions (and longiness for an icecream such as Declan mentions while having that superb dinner).
As always, intersting, funny and inspiring with that stoicism you keep showing.
Once again, big yay for the Hamill Team! (and I'm not pretending to become VIP to take a longer shower than just sparkling water!).
It is such a pleasure to share your functionality as a family. I’m sure that there are tears, but overall, the humour runs through you all.
For sure there are tears but Rob's learning to control his emotions better these days.
Hahaha great to hear that... above all the disasters
Love the humor in the midst of challenges!
Don't sweat the small stuff :)
We see that the boys have inherited Rob's 'accident' genes. A good video showing what passage making is really like. Well done.
Please no! - to the accident gene. One in the house (boat) is more then enough.
What great life skills.and navigational skills you are teaching your boys Rob & Rach....you both are so AWESOME!!
Really admire you ....😘👍😉💖 xx T
The boys are a bit young yet to appreciate how lucky we all are to be living this lifestyle.
@@TheCruisingKiwis ...yeah I guess once they become fathers/parents themselves they will fully appreciate what you and Rachel have done for them....not many kids get to have those adventures & experiences eh...So special and magic memories together you are creating 👍😉🤩💖
When you get a chance, fabricate guide rails, and maybe attach with wing nuts to the base of your cook top to restrain the walkabout hot water jug.
Thanks Roger, we later managed to find some appropriate guides to keep the kettle and pots on the stove. Until then we would 'stand by'. :-)
Great show once again! Rachel you may become as famous as the Phrase ! Lovell actually said, "Uh, Houston, we've had a problem."
Thank you Bullen family you are too kind.
Vodka and Rachael on Robs bed ....flash back to the past lol
Are you watching this for the second time?
Love the narrator guys!!
Thank you. It's always a risk letting granny near the mic.
This is the best thing I’ve seen on UA-cam for a long time. Hilarious!
Thank you Andrew. It's great to hear you're enjoying the adventure.
...feel free to spread the word.
Ow! Poor Finn. That musta hurt!! Good to see your return trip has not been as dramatic as the outbound. No kayaks gone overboard.............yet. LOL. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with your boat sale etc.
Hello Owen, it did hurt him but luckily not long. As ocean crossings go it was very good. Down wind sailing is the way to go.
Awesome series! Safe travels whanau
Kia ora and thank you. It's good for our soul to have your support. Happy days!
The moment this video pops up in ones feed with this intro and video pic...intervention at sea lol...do I watch more episodes? I’m not sure what’s going on so I guess I’ll have to! 🤣
Howdy Michy! If you can answer yes to either one of these questions then yes you need to binge The Cruising Kiwis: 1. Do you watch sailing channels? 2. Do you watch UA-cam?
@@TheCruisingKiwis lolol yes and yes! So when this popped up with a child with a stick in his mouth I was curious! What a sweet looking crew you have there. I’ll definitely watch more and see what’s going on. I saw a lot of interesting video titles!! Calm seas and fair winds and good behaviour ! 😜💝⛵️
Just found you guys a few weeks ago good content rather entertaining will pass your channel onto others good luck guys be safe
Thank you Mark. Can I ask how you found us? We are not very social media savvy.
The Cruising Kiwis we watch a lot of cruising sailing channels just ever once in awhile we will search utube for sailing or cruising Catamaran or mono haul boat channels not sure which one you came across. Can I suggest something if you want more exposure
Absolutely Mike go ahead, we're all ears. Is it get Rob off the boat?
The Cruising Kiwis make comments to other popular sailing channels that are asking for suggestions of what to do our what they think and leave s highlighted tag to your u tube channel that’s how we have found some channels by reading comments that peak our interest. And just keep being REAL
@@MikeH-fl9lu Thanks Mike, we'll give it a go
Rob never seems to think about a life jacket. In those heavy seas how long would it take for his crew to turn back far a. Overboard Skipper…….
We wouldn't go back for him Peter. We'd just keep going and make him swim home 🙂. He does wear his life jacket in very stormy weather when it's howling outside. While these seas were large and it wouldn't have hurt to don the life jacket, Rob took a calculated risk and lived to tell the tale.
Enjoying your episodes - true fun! At 4:19 min why is the starboard engine i full reverse and the backboard/portside in full forward? Where you motorsailing with one engine?
Thanks for thaking the time to watch and make contact Pitter. We usually have both in reverse when sailing. For some reason Port was forward but no engine were operating at that time as I recall.
@@TheCruisingKiwis Ah okay, I thought that is a special cat setting when cruising /surfing downwind ;-)
Too funny!
Thanks Mark. However, Rachel cringes at the mockumentary voice over.
@@TheCruisingKiwis no it’s great!
@@markjames9205 yeah it makes me chortle.
That's hilarious
Thanks Jake.
Your sailing to wind-angle auto pilot function isn't going to work if the wind vane's not working is it!
Great channel thanks for all the effort filming and editing. Always something to laugh.
Just cringe seeing people playing in the water near operating props ...
Greetings from Sydney!
PS Don't mention the Rugby!
Thanks Mark, I don't recall there being a problem with our wind vain? Can you enlighten me.
We have since been hit by lightening and replaced the whole system.
I understand your anxiety with us playing in the water near the props we want to keep our limbs intact too. It's a risk v benefit play off and benefit is winning. There is more risk of hitting our heads on the bridge so we don't drag in swell.
@@TheCruisingKiwis I thought you said that the wind vane was reading the wrong direction and speed etc?
@@markebert7336 You are absolutely right. It was a while back, I'd forgotten. Were we trying to sail on wind vain? What were we thinking!?
@@markebert7336 Just had a quick re look at the episode (no sound though so might have to take another look tomorrow) but it reminded me that yes the wind indicator was reading about 180 degrees wrong. Have a look about 4 minutes in we were on a broad reach, if not running downwind and the indicator is at or near zero degrees as if wind on the nose. I THINK we could still use the wind setting on the auto helm but I'm not 100% sure we didn't just leave it on the normal auto setting and hope we didn't get a wind shift. It was in 2019 so a bit hazzy on detail.
@@markebert7336 Correction, it was 2018 not 2019.
Is there any way to know on your videos about actually when it was filmed? For eg, was the Pacific crossing in this video done in Feb 2019?
Hi Joanna, every so often we do say post the date video was shot at the beginning of the video, though on a whole we don't. This vlog was filmed in late November 2018. Would that make a difference for you, to know when the video was shot?
@@TheCruisingKiwis thanks for that. It would be helpful to know when each video was shot because, after starting following you and some other cruising families on YT, a seed has been planted in my head about possibly going sailing too. But the idea of cruising across the Pacific is a bit terrifying so knowing at least the months that you cruise it would be useful.
@@joannadevereux7714 the Pacific is a great place to start as on the whole it is very easy sailing, when you pick a good weather window. It can all seem a bit daunting to begin with but once you start asking questions you find there are very definate seasons for sailing. May to November are the best times to be cruising the South Pacific. From November to end of April it is best to head to 30° south of the equator or 10° north to Get out of the cyclone zone. Hence why we headed back to NZ. Any more questions don't hesitate to ask or PM us via our Facebook page 😊
@@TheCruisingKiwis thanks so much for your very helpful info :)
:)
Thanks Jon. Picked a bad week to give up the booze.
@@TheCruisingKiwis loved the movie reference :)
What/where is the bizarre SCOOOOTTIIIISSSHHH accent from?
We wanted it to be more documentary style but couldn't pull that off and did the Scottish thing instead. Foolish. We learn and grow from our mistakes.
All that annoying motion 🤢🤮
Hard to argue with you on that Manu. Annoying motion of boat AND camera!🙂 The latter does improve as the episodes role on - should you choose to watch any more! We hope to hear from you again🙂
That scoooootish accent is very annoying
Yes, Rachel is veeeery annoyed with herself for following through on the 'creative' idea she had. She cringes but not much she can do. At the time it seemed funny.
PS we were going to mockumentary and failed.
