- They murdered my brother sailing SE Asia - Ep 183
Together with my sailing family we are taking our live aboard catamaran sailing the route my brother Kerry took through earthquake prone South east Asia before his life was cut short, in 1978 by the murderous, insane orders of Pol Pots Khmer Rouge Cambodia. Before his devastating capture, torture and murder, Kerry would write letters home to our family. We would live vicariously through his descriptions of his sailing adventures. Now I am completing a childhood dream to follow his sailing journey through Indonesia and beyond.
We also mention volcano Whakaari White Island and wish to acknowledge those who lost loved ones three years ago during the earthquake eruption off the coast of Whakatane.

BACK STORY
In 1997, after rowing at the Atlanta Olympics, Rob rowed a tiny 7m (22 foot) plywood boat 2,500 miles from Tenerife (Canary Islands) to Barbados (Caribbean). It took six weeks for Rob and rowing partner, Phil Stubbs, to complete winning the inaugural Atlantic Rowing Race.
Skip forward to 2014 and, married with three children, Rob and his wife Rachel purchased Javelot, a 43 ft Fountaine Pajot catamaran. Armed only with Rob's 3 years of racing P class yachts from the age of 11 to 13, and Rachel's non existent sailing knowledge, We set off to learn the ropes of ocean sailing. We broke stuff, replaced stuff and got to know their boat before heading offshore with the kids, Finn (then 13), Declan (then 11) and Ivan (then 8), in tow. Through trial and error we have become confident wayfarers, kind of.
The plan? To sail around the world.
Part of the journey will be retracing Rob’s eldest brother Kerry’s travels at sea. Using Kerry’s original letters from the 1970’s we hope to retrace his movements from Australia through earthquake prone Indonesia and South East Asia to Cambodia where Kerry’s life was cut short after straying into Cambodian waters in 1978. Kerry and two friends were attacked by a Khmer Rouge gun boat, captured, tortured and executed. www.brothernumberone.co.nz

Watching this episode made Rob wish even more he had taken a photo of Kerry and Foxy Lady ashore to show the locals, some of whom would surely have remembered his visit at Ende even though 45 years ago.

it is a wild story. glad you made the trip. & safely. bc things can get betr. fine entry. _JC
@@JCResDoc94 I agree
Kiwis, you know I’ve been following a long time, but this might have been your best video to date. I was taken aback by the raw emotion, the boys playing with the other kids contrasting Robs pains, the beautiful scenes spoiled by litter, only to be cleaning up later. Powerful episode. I truly enjoyed it. God bless you kiwis and thank you for sharing your journey, Carl
Yes aware of your story Carl thank you. Great observations!
I remember a couple months ago you where considering not making any more videos or questioning if it was worth the effort. Please stick at it the quality keeps improving and this "story line" with your husbands brother is really interesting. You really are talented
Thank you Jon that is kind of you to say.
IMHO the “quality” has always been great - that’s why I’ve watched 183 of your videos.
@@TheCruisingKiwis Yes please do not quit.
which video was that? Hope they don't quit.
@@RebelRobin501 you're an enduro monster RR. Thank you for your commitment🙂
I feel for Rob because this must be very difficult for him and the rest of the family with all the memories it will bring back. Hopefully you will all get some kind of closure and peace from this trip. It was great to see the boys interacting with the local kids but it is in their nature to do that. I love seeing all the different cultures and the way other people live, it is so interesting. Keep making the videos because they are certainly the highlight of my week and I am sure for the others who watch them. If you are not subscribed please do so as the Kiwi's make exceptional vlogs every week. Keep well and safe. James.
Thank you James. The challenges with this but a joy and privilege to have my family with me.
Wow, great to follow Kerry's journey.
Thank you Wendy.
Hi Wendy thought you might be interested in our first episode in cambodia where we visit Siem Reap. Amazing place and only wish we'd had more time to spend there. The 2nd episode in the series is out tomorrow, on our time in Phnom Penh - say no more! ua-cam.com/video/YTlQpp62WTU/v-deo.html
Hey guys. The trip has taken on quite a different perspective now you're actually following his journey. I liked the way you've been able to incorporate Kerry's narrative through his letters. It was quite something to see all those kids unloading offvthe dinghy. I thought it was going to leap up in the air when they all piled off. Nice to see the locals getting stuck in to cleaning up that ever present plastic. Do you still have that recycler?
Hi Owen yes Kerry and Foxy Lady are making an appearance with us. It was great the boys looked after those kids who seemed to love it. Hope the sparks are going well?
I have a strong feeling this is going to be a very emotional trip and not just for Rob but the whole family.
Yeah, lots of learning along the way too. Phnom Penh won't be easy.

Rob, I can only imagine how hard this particular leg of your life's journey must be. Perhaps just as many questions unanswered as you get answers. I can't help but feel that this path, as tough is it might be at times, will bring you some of the closure you might need, especially with the strength of your family there to support you. Arohanui to you all. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Thank you Jamie it's going to get a bit tough in Cambodia but a joy to share with the family.

What an incredible story. It was lovely to hear an extract from Kerry's letter and then see you experience a similar welcome from the people of Ende. It warmed the heart to see your boys interacting with the local children.
Thanks PS and didn't Declan do a great job reading the letters.
Mapologists?! That's gold Rob - new title I'll be using for sure!
Great episode fam.
Yo Sam nice to hear from you. So that's a new word I thought a much.

Oh this breaks my heart! What a beautiful tribute to Kerry……your pain comes right through the screen Rob.
I pray that this journey is cathartic, healing, and brings that peace that goes beyond all understanding!
I know that this is wonderful for the world. You are illuminating the evil that murdered your brother in such a way as to keep it from ever rising again…….God Bless you Rob!
Thank you Joe. This journey is more for the boys than for travel and I. Nevertheless yes cathartic it will be.
@@TheCruisingKiwis I am glad to hear that!
I can only imagine… my own older brother has become my very best friend over the years. Everything that happens to him affects me as well. The fact that you are not bitter or vengeful is a very good example, thank you!

Hmm strange those FADs were so popular, but hey, they said the same thing about skateboards like 50 years ago 🙂
Always nice to catch up with my favorite Kiwi family sailing channel! Thanks!
Haha yeah only Declan didn't the news. And fear nought Sausage the 'passing fad' joke will pop up sometime in the next episode or two.
Oh Rob.. That was so heartbreaking…. I imagine from now on you’ll be having more of those moments.. it looks so humid 😬. You all are amazing 🤞you keep safe,healthy and may you have smooth sailing ⛵️
Thank you Charmaine. The temperature fluctuates from warm to hot and sweaty sometimes humid but not always.

I found this to be a deeply emotional episode on several levels. Not helped by the fact that I'm dealing with a truely heartbreaking loss myself right now. I've been in some dark places but watching this just now brought me some perspective.
Thankyou.......... as always
Hi Graeme I'm very sorry to hear this news. Our condolences to you and your family. DM us if you'd like to chat. We are in temporary internet.
@@TheCruisingKiwis thanks guys. Ive got good people around me. I'll talk to you about it sometime in the near future.
Oh no Graeme. Sorry to hear about your loss mate.
thank you @@lozzinozz8318 . I should clarify that there hasn't been a death, but a heartbreaking loss non the less
Love your social interaction with locals along the way. And I hope you continue to find healing through this particular journey... keep on sharing your highs and lows. I'm sure your story will reach many hearts in time.
Thank you Derek the episode seems to be performing quite well so far. Will wait see how much YT promotes it.
At the end of your video there is a little snippet of a song. Do you know the title & artist? Thanks so much! I love your videos & wonderful storytelling every week. You have a wonderful close family!
Thank you Diane. The song is Ball and Chain by Dave Mumford.

Nice to see them picking up trash!! Absolutely love how your boys embraced those kids, such a joy to watch. 💙💙
Thanks Amanda, yeah we were pleasantly surprised to see the clean up going on which sends a great message to all those seeing the activity. And yeah we were delighted (but not surprised) when we saw the footage they took.
@@TheCruisingKiwis The fact they took that footage without your knowing, says so much more than if they took it while you were watching. So Much respect for your boys!!
Another wonderful video. Brother Number One is still part of our curriculum at our high school in NH. Your brother and friends will not be forgotten. Cheers
How interesting. Where is NH? I might send my children there.
Thank you Chris. Huge compliment. Like pumpkin where is NH? New Hampshire?

Your videos are beyond awesome now. Y'alls story needs to be shared around the world. Please keep sharing your journey with us .
Thanks TO, it's easier said than done.
I felt every emotion in this vlog. Sometimes I think it is a curse to have deep emotions, but I guess it is way better than not having any! The boys were awesome in playing with the local kids. And Rachel, as always, you are a great story teller…which is proof in your vlogs! I hope to become a patreon again…your channel is so worth it. But it has been over a year, and hubby has yet been able to find a job, and my narcolepsy prevents me from working. Thanks for sharing your family and your adventures! 💕
Thank you so much Tammy. Please look after number one first!

Can't even imagine going through this. Growing up in the 70's hearing about the atrocities in Cambodia, I didn't know what to do. As an adult, I joined the Royal Navy, because for the most part they have a good humanitarian background. Now retired I want to do more in that field. Much respect to you Rob, hope to meet you on the high seas and share a beer or 2 with you.
Thanks Paul well there plenty of call for help from many is just a case of how best to help.

Woah… what a compelling and tragic story. I was also in SE Asia at the time working with Khmer refugees … I never knew the story of your brother. I will continue to follow you with keen interest as you retrace your brothers voyage …. Ps I have been to Cambodia multiple times since the peace accords for my work and have visited Tuol Sleng … a horrid ghoulish place …. Me heart goes to you and your family whose history is forever tied to the Cambodian people …
Thanks very much PS. You must have heard and seen quite your share along the way in your travels there.

Wow I remember that happening way back when😢. Back in 2005 I went to Cambodia, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh & Sihanoukville. Absolutely loved the Cambodian people they left me with a deep & sincere appreciation of how to put it down all that extremely horrific experiences at the hands of Pol Pot & the Khmer Rouge, absolutely insane. I am so impressed that you are prepared to reach out to them after what happened to your brother. This is Powerful bro ❤🖖🇳🇿🥹

Thanks Ali. Hope everyone's well.
Another great video on this epic journey. Through your sailing adventures Rob, you will always be connected to Kerry.
I’m visiting Indo in Feb. I’m fortunate to have bought a property on Sumba - it will be finished by then. - hopefully! Watching your visit there has just made it more exciting. Cant wait. 😊
John you're going to absolutely love it. Good on ya! And thank you!!
I cried a few tears with you Rob. I too think you should have chatted to the older people and showed them photos. I’m not sure how I felt about that chopped chicken stew. Poulet d’pieces😂
Thanks Louren. Yeah it rips my undies to think about it now. Such an obviate thing to do in sure we would have met people who met Kerry and the crew.
Rachel I’m inviting you to visit here in NYC ...
.. on the exact dates Rob plans on reaching Cambodia.

Anyway all of you wherever you're at stay safe and may you have a wonderful Merry Christmas you and your family God bless you all

Had you informally polled most of the oldsters (70+) some would have remembered and remembered them well. (I can imagine Ivan piggy-back on Declan to illustrate someone 6'7"...) I look forward to much more. Regards.
Absolutely Daniel. I'm really ticked of with myself for not thinking of doing that beforehand. So obvious.
Great episode, loved that the boys got on great with the other kids. Nice that you encourage the boy's to learn a bit of the lingo, I bet it helps greatly. Have to say Rob a better man than I am, I would not go there, I would hold a gruge that would not be fair to the innocent people there.
Thanks Stan. It's the psycho leaders that bother me. And there are plenty of there today disturbingly many are invisible.

It would have been awesome if someone remembered! Rob, your emotions, no worries mate, they are real and being empathic am able to relate..... This is a great thing you are all doing and maybe just maybe it will ask the question, why do some feel they have to control the World through pain / torture and death and for the rest of us to resist.
Yes I think many wonder the very same thing Jim. Power for the sake of it.
Rob you’re a legend. I’d read the story about your brother. So sad. How lovely that you’re retracing his steps. Must be hugely cathartic. You are so right to take quiet time to reflect.
Separate to that what’s the story with minging chicken neck 🤢
Thanks very much Paul.

Wow.... I remember when this happened. I was a 10th grader in high school. What's eary is my name is also Kerry. So sorry that this happened to Rob and his family.
Thank you TO aka Kerry!
Rob,
By remembering your brother and following his path, you are honoring him in every way possible! It's ok to be emotional and I commend you for showing and explaining what you're going through! It took me 4 tries to click on this video as I was already emotional after seeing your thumbnail. Sending huge hugs and love your way! Still crying as I type this! Thank you for sharing his story and yours!
Thank you so very much for your heartfelt message Tom. This may sound odd but having not re watched the episode before relying, the thing I remember strongly about it is Declan's narration of Kerry's letter. Something very special to me about that.
Thanks
Thank you Meenho!! Your contributions are going to a new GoPro 😀
Rob I feel the emotion 💔
Amazing though for you and your family to retrace your brothers journey

I'll so sorry for your loss Bob. My condolences to you and your family.

Kerry's story stuck me when i was in cambodia last year.... just heart breaking...... exploring the world and living true to himself...
Thanks Irish. The way he responded to his treatment and loneliness is unfathomable. He lives on in our memories.
Looks like a beautiful place to cruise, if you can keep away from the FAD's :)
It is indeed Andy. Wish we were staying longer.

🤣🤣 no Rob, the neck is not 'good for you'. Rachel, this is another Rob thing. i always felt that you were deep folks and besides Rob's antics, funny as they are, you really are well grounded and decent. 😊😑
Thank you Jim but I cannot fit a moment concur. Chicken necks rock!🙂
Hi again I should have told you we are kiwi's to from Waiheke Island. We had our yacht mooring in Puiki bay and our Great friend and Harbour Master was Bill Belcher. who won the single handed Trans Tasman in1974 and in the 1978 one was ship wrecked on Middleton Reef, at 66 years old, he left the reef in his life raft and spent 28 days at sea before being rescued, Trying to navigate to Australia.. His book is a good read too (Shipwreck on Middleton Reef) .. Safe Travels Guys...AL
Wow what a story. It rings a bell the name at least. Might have to track down the book. Another cracker is surviving the savage seas.
Thank you for sharing this.
You're most welcome Mike thank you.

That was an atrocious time in Cambodian history. It was such bad luck that Kerry and friends crossed paths with these barbarians. I was in Siem Reap and saw the remnants of horror these people went through. They as a whole are kind, generous happy souls. Much like most suffering from the actions of power-hungry people. The pain continues.
Thank you Melvin yes the people and culture are stunning.

Your video inspired me to go watch the documentary Brother Number One. I have a whole new appreciation of what you are doing with your family. My deepest condolences for everything that has happened to you and your family. Thank you for sharing your pain and grief with all of us. Thank you also for your courage to testify against that horrible regime.
Thank you very much Rhondalynn. Not sure what to say such a heartfelt comment. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch the film. If per chance you know anyone in Phnom-Penh we are doing a one of screening at metahouse cinema at 7pm tonight. Approx 4 hours from now.

Cant imagine what Rob will be dealing with. But what an amazing journey to make now. Retracing the journey. No doubt it will be harder the closer you get to Cambodia but healing perhaps too. Kia Kaha from Aotearoa. Im from Bay of Plenty too

Everyone should see this
Thanks pumpkin.
Here's to Kerry and Stuart. 'Fine men, i knew them both. I have spent many years on the waters where they both breathed their last salt breath - and their fond memory is me with the whole time. In a couple of weeks i will be kayaking for a couple of months on an offshore island immediately across the sea border where they we were heading for.. but never reached. They will be with me there too. (hey Rob, bon voyaging, stay safe... paul e)
Thanks Paul, I didn't realise you are still in or near Cambodia. Have wanted to take the boys there for a long time. Enjoy your travels!
PS is your avatar Foxy Lady? Nice shot. Not sure I've seen that one before. Seen similar though I think.

I went to the prison they were held in in PhnomPhen and holy god... it shook me alot...
Yes it's not for the faint hearted. Difficult to imagine what it was really like in there.
6:03 yeah basically the only chicken bones that are dog friendly.. just a useless fact, but cheap and easy to buy from your local butcher, Rob’s correct they just don’t really sell them anymore in main supermarkets, so nobody asks for them..
The mass produced poultry have soft bones. We fed all our dogs them all their lives no problem. Maybe we were lucky.
CHOICE.
Beauty thanks Simon.
I hope it is a consoling fact that you can now visit the same areas that were so volatile in the past. I keep hoping for future enlighenment for mankind but hope is all we have and you know what they say about hope in one hand and s..........case in point: Ukraine.
With you on that. If only to clip the wings of the psychopaths early. Problem is most of those in control are pretty much invisible.

@@TheCruisingKiwis Oddly enough (or maybe not considering the fact that memory is fading) could you refer to the exact episode that your comment is in reference to (alright, shouldn't end a sentence in a praeposition but I'M DOING IT)!
@@cestmoi1262 i posted the above comment in this episode not sure if that is what you are asking. ua-cam.com/video/sQzn416onkU/v-deo.html
@@TheCruisingKiwis We're good. I've watched every episode from 4 years ago to the present, it is just that these videos on Cambodia are so very disturbing. We must not forget but at the same time we must look to the future with the mentality that this will never happen again.
FYI - Just discovered big gaps in the playlist, last one was Ep:174, next is Ep:187, then back to Ep:175
Thanks for that I'll check it out.
Ah man.... What a trip. Thankfully things have moved on a bit from your brother's end. Just a bit. What an outrage back then. But us westerners blithely thinking that we could wear our innocence through the turmoil that was South east Asia back then. Folks aint necessarily folks, if ya take my meaning. Lotsa luck in foreign parts you Kiwis. I think it's reasonably safe these days, but take care.
I hear you Garrick thank you.

You know, if my brother was murdered sailing, retracing his route would be the last thing I ever did.
I think there are many factors to consider but I get it. What we are doing is not for everyone given the example you've raised. We are all individuals who respond differently.

You can keep the necks for yourself Rob. Blah! There's a reason you can't get them in chickens anymore. No one wants them. As my father would say, that was a "Depression Special" meaning in the times of the Great Depression 1929-39
you can get them at most butchers, my dogs love them
You can get them at many places. Nuggets I think they like to call them.
As a kid I used to just eat the little bit of meat around the bones. As an adult I've graduated to the full Monty. Preparing for the worst hoping for the best 🙂
