COVID OUTBREAK: We're stuck.

Great video again... Really looking forward to smooth sailing and less mainland drama - open seas and all that.

[@KristinasTravels]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰 We are SO close!!!!!! 💦💦💦 I can taste the salt water 😄

Great vid. Nice new fresh perspective from the 2 of you embarking on your adventure. I will be watching

[@lindahackworthy7114]

Awesome vids guys loving it already. Please dont worry about haircuts etc..that's what happens with real adventures ;) Wishing you very safe and fabulous adventures.

[@KristinasTravels]

Haha! Thanks so much Linda. Good news: he still hasn’t had a haircut; and plans to take your advice 😹🥰 Lots of love x

[@planetdisco4821]

Yep 7 day lockdown. Aaaaand now we’re at day 210. Sigh. I just want to go bushwalking again with my dog. Moving from melbourne to perth soon and hopefully in a year or two buying a yacht for myself. At least in the meantime I’ve got something to watch on KZbin to keep me inspired! Keep up the good work!

[@arottie4097]

Let the Adventure's begin!!! Thanx for sharing!

[@KristinasTravels]

Yewwwww! Yessss, let the real adventure start! 😀😀 Appreciate the love, keep it coming 🥰🥰

OMG I thought i recognised you. We met at the Formula 1 in Melbourne. Congrats on the journey it takes balls to do something like this

[@KristinasTravels]

🤙🤙 yewww! How cool is that! Cheers Toby! Taking the plunge was scary! 😬🤓 but no regrets!

[@mskipper76]

Awesome video! Can’t wait for the next episode. Hopefully COVID doesn’t delay you guys long

[@KristinasTravels]

It delayed us some. 😳 Cost us a heap of $$$ in food! I literally provisioned ready to go!!! It was down to the wire. So devastating. But, plan B wasn’t too bad... 🤪🤘 Damn Covid... it’s still causing so much havoc for us!

Highfield is a great dingy great pick

[@KristinasTravels]

Thanks Nathan - we think so too! 😀 Can't wait to explore some nice shallow beaches and places that Tucana can't get to! 😊

[@BrianRhodes9763]

Very exciting Kristina & John. I meant about the progress of your beautiful sailboat, not covid. The interior is really looking nice, once everything is organized...YCFAC

[@KristinasTravels]

Yes, covid is a party-pooer at the moment! Haha - and yes, the vessel is looking a lot neater now 😆

[@SouthernCrossGO]

Awesome mate cant wait for you to get sailing :)

[@KristinasTravels]

Ohhhhh man. JUST YOU WAIT 😜😜🤩🤩 It gets real.

Schlimazel - great word, I love it...

Great Video guys! A few steps closer to the Whitsundays :)

[@KristinasTravels]

So close! Can't wait to get up there. Thanks so much again for all your helpful tips and advice 🙌😊⛵️ How amazing is social media and the boating/yachting community 🌟

[@vickihuang2485]

Love this! Started watching this channel from tik tok and your heated vest videos haha. Hope you get to start your journey soon!

[@KristinasTravels]

Hahahaha LOL! 🥰🥰 Wow. That is AMAZING!!!!! ❤️ Soooooo happy you’re here and found us crazy kids on this wild YT adventure. Yes, the sailing journey is truely kicking off now. Can’t wait to share more. Thanks for being here 🥰❤️😍🙌 xx

[@Richard-R-S]

John & Kristina, Trust this note finds all well with each of you. It is quite interesting to see your transformations from the traveling vlogs to the real world sailing experience, I must say. When there's a vlog site that seems interesting, my practice has been to go to the beginning, then work my way from both ends toward the middle. It is always the interpersonal dynamics which seem most interesting, and you guys haven't disappointed. Thanks for sharing👍🏻. BTW, Kristina, is that word you were sharing regarding the state of things in the vessel; "schlimazel" by chance (little chuckle)? And, John's hair looks pretty sporty, I'd say, along with Kristina's "puffiness", so called. The "morning face" is the ultimate test of true beauty BTW Kristina. Yes Ma'am, you passed swimmingly... God Bless John and Kristina🙏🏻⛵⚓

[@AB_productions]

Nice Noelex 25. Perfect boat to start on!

[@jonmorris5354]

great episode! enjoying following your journey!

[@KristinasTravels]

Awww, 🥰 Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts and love. I'm sort of new to this VLOGING thing. We're never sure if people will enjoy our next episode or not, so it's nice to get your message of support 😀 x

[@mikg7783]

Great video

[@KristinasTravels]

🥰🥰 Thank you. Excited to start exploring areas beyond the marina 🙌🙌😃

Incredible to catch up on where you're at Kristina. It's been so long - Matt.

[@KristinasTravels]

Thankkkks Matt! Yes, long time no see or speak! 😭 So nice to hear from you and to see Trekzone kicking goals xx 😘 Hope to see you around sooooooon! We're coming for qld!

@@KristinasTravels you're in for an epic adventure and it's so awesome that you're taking the channel along for the ride. See you in QLD!

Looks good. I sail a Hinkley 48 east shore of US

[@macman6107]

Tucana is looking great. It must have been so exciting getting out there with the sails up and actually sailing! Exciting times............Covid 🍻. Yeah cheers covid! Oh well, just think, it could always be worse. My brother lives in Geelong and he was like everyone else just wanting to get on with life. From what my mum said WA is going to do the same thing as Vic. I'll have to message her and see what's going on as I haven't spoken to her in a few weeks. Here in Scotland we have no idea what's going on. What's worse is neither do the government. They're like chooks with their heads cut off sailing without a rudder and the captain is a bumbling...........yeah. Moving on. Anyway take care, stay safe and just keep swimming. Yes Dory is my spirit animal. 😂🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@KristinasTravels]

Haha. Gosh - I LOVE THIS COMMENT. Firstly, thanks for your kind words about Tucana. We're getting there. But, we are quickly learning, there is always something to do! Never a dull moment 😂 Yes, unfortunately a lot of the country is going through some covid-woes at the moment. It seems many of the states are either in lockdown, or closed off to one another! We hope the government and authorities can get on top of it soon. And YES --- SWIMMING --- I'm waiting for some warmer waters up north!! haha 😂 I should just harden up perhaps, and go for a dip now! 😂

Fantastic video again folks. I was always led to believe they are called Stanchions and not Staunchions. That may be a european thing though 😎😎

[@KristinasTravels]

Haha... it’s def a rookie thing. 😂 Kind of like the stikaflex situation. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@MrLebro11]

Get out of Victoria while you could would be my guess. Hopefully you aren’t caught up in the NSW lockdown.😫

[@KristinasTravels]

Hmmm. You’ll just have to wait and see.... 😳😬😭 But in all seriousness, it’s actually heartbreaking what’s going on at the moment. Really hope NSW can get on top of this one 🤞 Thanks for watching and taking the time to say hi 🙋‍♀️🙂🥰

Hi! New to the channel and very curious to what experience both you have in navigating? Keep it up!

[@KristinasTravels]

Hey Nelson! Not much!!!! Haha... I had about 3 weeks in total... and John had a little more than that, but bother VERY green!! 😎😎 BUT ABSOLUTELY getting there! A very steep learning curve indeed 👍👍

[@KristinasTravels]

We’ve been practicing the ‘wing on wing’ and sailing as much as possible!! Can’t wait to show you our skills! 😃

[@saabtry]

That could make a interesting video! Then good the bad and the ugly of this learning experience. Keep it up you both!

[@Rickymjam]

This is a question I'm sure you've been asked millions of times, but how much yachting experience did you both have when you decided to do all of this? 🙂

Yeh, the majority of Australia has been lucky enough to be living without covid in our community. We’ve been able to irradiate it essentially, containing outbreaks, and putting overseas travellers in hotel quarantine. But, unfortunately it escaped a few weeks ago, and it’s out in the community again 😭😰

Get out of the cities as fast as you can. Head for the Whitsundays and live off grid away from the mad tyrannical politicians.
