Sailing sailboat BOAT WORK BLUNDERS cont.
It is always slightly worrying to see Rob with a drill in his hand. Though he is a very capable handy man, he does like to throw himself into a project without thinking it through, like the time……..well how much time do you have?
At last we get Javelot back in the water and take her for a wee blast down to Urquharts Bay at the mouth of the Whangarei Harbour to stretch her legs and our own. Then it was back to the realities of life, a blocked toilet, which is always a joy to work on.
The countdown is now almost complete. The boat begins to sparkle as Declan and Ivan scrub away all the dirty marks on deck. Then Finn and Rachel partake in a three hour supermarket shop of the essentials chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate.
Finally all that’s left to do is welcome the two additional crew members we are taking with us on our sail to Fiji: Josh Lyon, a young adventurer, who has sailed an ocean with us before and Mike Moss our local organic farmer, testing his limits. Can he really endure 8 to 10 days at sea in a cramped space with the Hamills? Only time will tell.
A big thank you to the talented artists who have allowed us to use their music.
In this episode
Cricket Farm - Bending spoons
Gideon Irving - Blueberry pie www.mynameisgideon.com

And to Paula Hudson from Te Pahu Sound Lounge for making the music happen.
Vinaka vaka levu to Josh Lyon. You are the wind in our sails!
Mike Moss for feeling the fear and doing it anyway.

Ah unblocking toilets 😜 . We feel your pain
It's a crap job😆
😂😂
Ivan said a classic talking about moving up the ranks on board: I’m going to start at the bottom, work my way along the bottom and finish up at the bottom.... :) Cracked us up.
He's a funny little man that's for sure.
Check out his genius response when the toilet is fixed and an apology is made for the false accusation of blocking it. I think Ep5 or6.
Tony from Aus, are you still there?
@@TheCruisingKiwis yep. In spite of 2020! :)
Cracked me up too. Going back over these older episodes is fun.
Don’t let that man near a drill! Love Robs can do attitude.
Thank you.
Super dadding there - make him fix what he breaks because if you don't, he'll just keep doing it. Respect.
Thanks HyperCazual, well some one has to fix it so might as well let the culprit at least give it a go. I'm assuming you are referring to the toilet which turns into a bit of a saga as you will see in the next couple of episodes. Enjoy!
@@TheCruisingKiwis I just saw it - he was acquitted of all charges haha. Lovin' it so far.
@@HyperCazual and did you catch his classic line on being acquited? It should have been in text it was so good and easily missed.
Okay, I cheated: a fourth Cruising Kiwis in one day. And the adventure begins.
Your reservations about editing and sound are keeping in character (humorously self-efacing). BUT! It doesn't matter -- the content is so good.
Regards as always, Daniel Wardin
That's a wow from us Daniel, thank you!
Ah Hi Rob.
Those gauges are made to flush mount From the outside of the dash, they are 3 inchs and push through from the wheel side with the black surround already attached to them to make a neat finish. There is even an attaching bracket you put behind the dash to secure the gauge in place, but hey your boat and what you did worked. Google is your friend.
Have you never mounted one of these to an old when you were young.
Regards.
David. Down Under.
Thanks for watching David and for your advice. Unfortunately the gauges were supplied by a guy who serviced our engines. What you see is all I got. Left to my own devices I had to get creative. I did try them on the wheel side but without the correct mounts they looked worse then the finished article.
Toilet humour love it
Thanks Alf
Looking forward to following another Hamill adventure from an armchair! Looks a bit easier than rowing. What a great family, you will not doubt have an excellent time.
Sorry for the delay in responding Rob! Thanks heaps.
Just started following you from the beginning after hearing about you from Zatara. Looking forward to following your journey. I lived in NZ for a short time back in ‘72 and had another visit in 2009. Love NZ! Had a flashback while watching you grocery shop, NZ has the best fruit flavoured licorice allsorts and we do get the large Whittaker’s chocolate bars in Canada now.
Yay for the Whitakers and for Whittakers chocolate! Both great. So lovely you're taking the plunge. Apologies for the early editing. Hope it gets better!
I like the shot of you holding the Chum bucket at the end there!!!😂😂😂🤮
Yeah that was not a good moment for Rachel, poor thing. She came good though.
Great vids guys - that fish hook looks painful!
One of many balls ups Axe. Many end up on the cutting room floor. Maybe we'll do an episode dedicated to what was left out one day.

Looks so fun😍
Sure is until the pain kicks in!
Merry Christmas 🙂
Thanks Sausage.
Lol till my stomach hurts
What’s the song between 6:26 & 7:48? It seems to be uncredited. Just started watching your channel. It’s lovely!
Thank you Michael, I didn't realise I had left that song was uncredited, up to now. It's called Lemon tree by NZ band The Nukes.
Sorry about your sister
Thank you for your kind thoughts Jeffrey. And for taking the time to watch!
I thought you said Rob was an electrician? so far...he doesn't read instructions and installs things that don't fit....lol
Yeah Rob WAS a sparky but realised early on he might kill someone so got out quick smart. Glad you're enjoying the journey and sorry only just seen this comment.
:)
You might be hot and you might be a mess, but are you a hot mess? My daughter says this often in her and her family style of living.
"Hot mess" is used to describe a particularly disorganized person or chaotic situation. In some uses, a person described as a hot mess is attractive but just barely keeping it together.
Gosh I might have to re watch to see what you're referring to..
