The Cruising Kiwis (TCK)
We are a New Zealand live-aboard family of five: Rob (60), Rachel (21-ish), Finn (21), Declan (19), Ivan (16) circumnavigating nomadically by sail boat learning from nature, new cultures and life experience. We hope to inspire others to explore different ways to live and educate while having a truckload of fun.
Our sailing videos are almost at the fringe of the cutting edge of informative travel entertainment confirming life is far too important to take seriously.

This mob is going LIVE in about five hours time. It will be scheduled for 10pm Durban (South Africa) time. Please check what time that equates to in your region.
If you open Youtube and search for The Cruising Kiwis page, it should come up. If not, then check the menu on our home page for 'live'. We will go online about five minutes early, SO YOU WON'T SEE IT AND 'WAIT' BEFORE THEN.
Comment below if you have any questions or send them live.
See you soon!

Although Rachel's looking great in the photo, she hasn't been well with flu this week. She basically slept for 48 hours but is well on the recovery. Oh, and I'm happy to report it was not cholera!😊 However, the result is that there is no episode this week. Sorry!
In other news, Ivan and Rob watched Team New Zealand win the Americas Cup today. It's an incredible legacy the team has created and has inspired many New Zealanders, including us.

For reasons unknown, BBC has re released a nine minute interview Rob did a couple of years ago. Here is a link if you're interested. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct5ymw
And, for what is worth, here is a link to a playlist of two episodes where we visit Cambodia with our children. www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

For our Kiwi followers, we are doing a live interview on TVNZs Breakfast show tomorrow (Thursday) at 8.15am. That's 12.15am for us here in the Maldives, which, by the way, is stunning. We are now off in search of manta rays..
And, in case you missed it, here is an interview we did for New Zealands TV3 Newshub during our passage.

Unfortunately, we will not be going live today! Skylink has been intermittent this morning with electrical storms. Had a very close strike last night. Although we have coverage now, we have decided to not do a live today due to a likelihood of a drop out. Our apologies for the inconvenience.
Next live tomorrow at 12 noon Bangkok time.

If you miss it, I'll add the link in comments to watch later.

Our Kiwi accents have caused considerable confusion for many of our supporters. Hopefully this video fixes that.
A very merry and adventurous Christmas to one and all. https://youtu.be/Qh2Lo3sc7DM
