We did it! We did have some dramas along they way, including some torn sails that slowed us down, but we made it just in time to escape a storm! Let the next adventure begin!
Love your videos, Dior! I spent 6 years sailing the Pacific on a yacht my Dad & I built, amazing seeing places in Tonga we spent time at and how much they have changed! I was a little older than you, left Australia when I was 20. We loved Ha'apai and I have many fond memories from those days. You are such a lovely family, your Mum & Dad are so chill! I was really touched hearing about Kai. (our son, who turns 18 next week is also Kai.) You have the world in your hands, your are beautiful, intelligent, funny and entertaining. Your film & production skills are obvious as is your passion and love for the lifestyle. After many years of only owning motor boats we have just bought a 14m Cat, so I am going back to sailing and thats how I found your channel! We live in Arnhem Land, which is also a special part of the world, if you ever find yourself up this way, come for a sail! Hope everything works out for you in NZ. (also one of my favourite places in the world!)
Having moved around a lot as a kid in remote areas, and now with my own daughters going through the same thing, I know how hard it is to leave a place that you’ve known as home for so long. There’s always the excitement of a new start, but also the sadness of leaving what you love behind. At least you’ve all got each other and the memories and experiences you’ve had are priceless. Your creativity, your resilience and your positive attitude will make any place you stay feel like home in no time. You’ve got an amazing family Dior.
Wow, Dior! Kudos to you and your parents for having the intuition to leave Nomuka a month before the eruption. Also, I truly believe your brother is definitely looking out for you guys. I'm so glad you all are safe and well. Much love and blessings...always
you are a great story teller Dior, can wait to see how you develop your channel, great family , cheer from hot Houston ,TX! have a great Xmas in kiwi land
The Adorable Dior shining a light on your adventures. Fantastic. Loved it ( as always ). Real pleasure to see real boat life at sea with you. So glad you made it ok. As already mentioned below, no panic ....... sooo chill. Good job Sheens. Wanna see more .... x
Great seeing your horses are safe now. The first time I saw you guys when the "Gone with the Wynns" stopped by. Dior your family is a pleasure keep up the adventsure let us all know were you'll be next. Say hi to your dad & mom for us from South Carolina USA.
There is something beautiful, unique and intriguing about this video, your story and videography especially the bond you have with your parents and the environment.
As you were putting up the spinnaker I was thinking the colors were a bit off and spotty. Yeah. Fabric ages even in storage. Once the fibers are weakened any stress can cause a failure.
What an amazing adventure! Enjoy your rest and relaxation back in New Zealand. Thank you so much for sharing your families adventure. What a nautical life, enjoy! Love always Jody - USA
Just found your channel and really love what you’re doing. My wife and I will be looking forward to watching all your videos and staying up with your adventures.
Hi Guys, Look, just found your Adventures and appreciate the home vibe that fills them. The back story moved me alot and I appreciate immensly the emotions that returning home brings & the bond that you three now carry. Te ika O Te Maui looming out of the the long white mist always speaks to us - no matter how far we roam - and the far north will always be the spirts bay and the land will always welcome home - pulling us into her shores. Knowing now the events of the last few days - I am sure your hearts are again roaming back to Tonga. We send Love. Kia Kaha - Kia Maia - Kia Manawanui x
Your camera/video artistly is wonderful. Nice work. Great thinking. That is what I love most about you. Great thoughts. We could run well together, should our paths ever cross. It seems impossible, but never say never. A friend? That is the idea. We are very different. But a friendship maybe. But impossible. Impossible is not never.
Cool family! As an admirer of the female of the species usually, it really struck me what a great smile dad has at 2:01 - he's generally quiet but great! Loved the night film and octopus rescue
Think about colaborating with Robert Irwin. You are about the same age, both love animals, adventures, videography and production. A visit to his zoo in Australia could be a good start. Whatever you do, good luck and be safe. You are becoming a strong voice against consumerism and for the environment. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing.
Such an incredible family. I am totally binging your episodes here and hoping you find a way to keep creating Dior. Pure magic.

Love the lack of panic in all of you. Well done family!!
What an amazing life! Just found your channel and it’s inspiring this morning from my cold apartment in Tacoma Washington 😌🙏🏼🌲

“Everything on the boat is old” whilst pointing the camera at mum and dad!!! Pure coincidence I’m sure.
Haha definitely didn’t mean that coincidence!

Love the ingenuity sparked by living remotely. The windsurf sail was a great idea! Looks like it was an enjoyable passage.
Always a pleasure to come along on your adventures, Dior. Thanks for sharing them with the world.

A great illustration of the need for redundancy! Lucky the mainsail didn’t shred as well.
Glad to hear you left Tonga. This week is rough

Who is this new Einstein?
Is your boat a Schionning?
Have they ever told us about Ky in a video before? That's the first time ive heard them speak of him.
Was talked about more quite a few videos back.
Great seamanship, you did 4 hours shifts ?

U look like Liam Thomson with a wig . He got a mill subs tho
Oh nice exploding boat things i love new videos
