You have one of the clearest podcast voices out there. I can see how much effort you put into it. Thanks so much! For those who are still having trouble turn subtitles on, Google understands him no worries😎👍
You have made my day Stingray Bay! Thank you so much! Haha, yes Google does understand me! I do have a something of an unusual accent, but I do strive to express myself clearly.
Currently reading your book and absolutely loving it. I watched this episode with my daughter (12 years old) who helps me with odd jobs building our 40’ steel motor sailor (yes she can weld also haha) when she saw your daughter sailing and maintaining your racing weapon her response was look daddy look that’s what I do too. Pure happiness. Thank you for taking the time to video and share your life experiences, so amazing 😊😊😊🫡
Mick that is such a lovely story! So impressive that your daughter is helping you with the boat building and learning such practical skills! Such a good thing to encourage and nurture!
Interesting video Andrew, thanks. Look forward to the next one, hopefully with better audio. The music overwhelmed your softly spoken narrative in this one. Cheers ☺
@@AndrewStransky-cc2dr Thanks for your reply. I have to say, great teamwork and relationships with your daughters. Having myself two teenage daughters, I just can hope that we develope something similiar when they grow older. I try to interest them to sail with little holiday courses, as I want to buy an sailboot and restart my hobby after a 20 years break. Please keep up with the electric motor stuff, that will be the first thing I will do if the diesel develops a hickup.
@@mauersegler9894 yes, having adventures together made us really close. It's not always easy to get your children to love sailing but making it fun and nurturing their roles aboard can help. Yes, the electric motor is proving so good and I definitely want to show more of my simple, economical system.
Wowsers your little lass certainly took to the aquatic life and came out of it with great credentials. Sailing Kiwis oldest lad is a major kite board sailor and national level rower .. His dad rowed the Atlantic amongst other marathon trips. They also escorted a female Austrailian canoeist on one leg of her paddle round Australia. They too are catameran liveaboards. His brother was a victim of Pol pots Kemer Rouge... 😬 something they only revealed when they visited Cambodia. It will be interesting to see how your ⛵home does against the toys ... Just hope you dont break anything expensive 🤞🏻🧙🏻♂️😎 must admit she leaves a clean wake and pair of heels underway.
Roll on the day when you cannot respond to all the comments due to the overwhelming quantity. Looking forward to the race week vid where I know you sailed against some seriously fast cats..

Wow what a race week! And love the storytelling and behind the scene clips as always. Was an honor to sail up with your family, best crew around!
We really loved having you aboard Tess! Thank you for all those video making tips, I still have so much to learn!
Interesting video Andrew, thanks. Look forward to the next one, hopefully with better audio. The music overwhelmed your softly spoken narrative in this one. Cheers ☺
Thank you Petrea! Good point about the music being a bit over-whelming. I shall definitely tune that up in part 2!
Enjoying your vids. Really Loved this one ❤️👍
Thank you Brett! RUclips is such a great platform for expression! We really appreciate your interest and support.
Awesome video.... you guys could do well from these vids... I'd watch your channel before the thousands of others on the tube
Loved it

Thanks Clive! Yes she never ceases to amaze me. I'll check out Sailing Kiwis. Yes the first 3 days of racing in 20-30 knots is very testing!
After seeing those old ship kid photos, Mara needs to bring back the anklet
Yes, we had those for ages! Nice rope Turks heads made from the same rope as the netting. They are pretty cool hey!
Really enjoyed your video, sound could do with a little work.😊
Thank you! Haha, yes I could have refined it a bit more. I definitely learned a few things at least.

Haha, you nailed it James! That'd be cool!
Wanted to watch but couldn’t get past the music
Sorry Scott, I did rather get carried away with the background music. I'm going to greatly reduce it for part 2.
For those of us that don't speak your accent, the music is difficult.
For Part 2, please less music.
Agreed , but ZERO music please , I enjoy hearing what you are saying about sailing that faaaast boat !
Haha, thank for this very helpful input, I much appreciate this and will certainly tone down the music as my accent is renowned for being different.
Yes, your right, I'll work on having the onboard conversations tell the story. Thank you for your input.
Can't understand you over the music.
OK, thank you for the input Tony, I will endeavour to improve.
That's all one could ask, mate.
