    -----------------
    ABOUT US: We are a family of five sailing around the world on our "dream boat," a performance catamaran named "Archer." Ten years ago B.K. ("before kids"), we sailed a Lagoon 380 named "Honeymoon" halfway around the world to Sydney, Australia. Along the way we shared our experiences via UA-cam and, by happenstance, created one of the first "sailing channels." We also realized what an incredible experience we were having and that someday we wanted to do it again, only this time with kids.
    OUR ROUTE has taken us from the Boston/Cape Cod area of the United States down to the Caribbean and through the Panama Canal. We have dealt with massive repairs in the South Pacific, the Coronavirus lock down in New Zealand, a Category 5 Cyclone in Fiji, and now we are cruising in Covid Free Australia. Videos for all of this to come!

    2020 Waitangi Day, I WAS THERE TOO! Those big war canoes can really move !
    I remember sailing into Tauranga , Bay of Plenty, not quite two months after the eruption and understandably emotions in the town were still very raw. Hard to comprehend such tragedy in so beautiful a place, God rest those poor souls and all who mourn their passing.
    We`d sailed over from NSW. When we flew back from Sydney to Perth, the whole world went mental !
    I`m supposed to be sailing round the Carib for a month right now but that`s on hold till who knows when :(

    Haircut = Much better... LOL I was in New Zealand in the late 60's & out of all the places I've been in the world, still rates right at the top. The people were VERY friendly & respectful, the scenery beautiful, nothing I didn't like. The atmosphere & way of life reminded me of what the U.S. was like 40-50 years earlier. A friend of mine sailed there in the 70;s & never left. Glad to see you discovering this gem & sharing with everyone. As others have said, your channel gets better all the time. So uplifting to escape to with all the negative crap going on here. You are building lifetime memories for you & your family, isn't that what it's all about? Best wishes & safe travels.

Now fast forward to 2021 April and we (now I am married to my darling wife, Adelina) found you all, from a family of 2 (2.5) to a family of 5! How exciting! Yes, you all were (I think Delos too) one of the very first YT sailing folks! Thx for coming back to us! So proud of you all! As a TCK born and raised in Indonesia, and my wife’s Indonesian heritage, we love traveling and learning about new cultures and places too. Thank you for bringing great videos of info, fun, and knowledge to us all! Cheers from the DAG family in Gilbert, Arizona

    Oh My Nauticals,
    Been randomly binge watching episodes of yours, just discovered you the other day on your last few eps in Fiji before making a run for it to Australia. And so I was curious how you handled the Lockdown, and how you met up with Zatara, and maybe (I haven't watched the episodes between this one and the Fiji run to Australia yet) if you also met up with Sailing with the Wynns, which I think also they met up with Zatara at one point while they became boatless because of Lockdowns.
    Zatara has met up with so many sailing channels, currently they've been with Aquarius in and around Saudi Arabia.
    Sad to see Seth get the James Callis long hair get cut, however, he continues to look like his doppelgänger 🙂

    Your definitely need the insert for the furler deflector as it helps keep the halyard from wrapping around the foil tube. If not it will happen in the worse possible situation when you want to reduce sail and cannot as the halyard is now wrapped. As a rigger I have seen people remove the deflectors - be it the type you have or the ones fastened to the mast face - much to their detriment later.

    Kiwi is the plural for the bird and people. No s needed. In Māori there is no s for plural words so Kiwi can refer to both the singular noun and plural nouns.

      @TheSailingFamily  3 роки тому +1

      Ha! This has spurred quite a debate onboard. Here are the rules specifically - but we're not sure how to interpret them in this case. Who won?!:
      "Players may tap a block to find a loose one. Any blocks moved but not played should be replaced, unless doing so would make the tower fall. The turn ends when the next player touches the tower, or after ten seconds, whichever occurs first."
      In this instance, Seth moved a block and did not play that piece, but moving it back would make the tower fall, so???
