I met Mark at a braai at Cliffie Pococks house many many years ago .. It was a great evening thanks to some of the stories he told us. I still try to tell them to others but mark has a special talent in telling a story ...There's one about a horse his wife owned .. the horse somehow ended up in their swimming pool...

@@TideKnotTravellers If you ever travel to NZ you are welcome to visit and stay for as long as you wish one of our Islands 40 km off the mainland in the Bay of Plenty off the Nth Island. We s a family decided to open the island up to the public and turn it into an open air museum for the worlds travellers. We have a jv with the NZ conservation dept and you need to let them know that you wish to explore. There are hiking trails etc. Oh I better let you know the name of it. It is called Mayor Island and it is always peaceful with only a few visitors weekly. As far as I know the family does not visit often probably due to economic constraint . if you were to go I recommend you go online and purchase an old book entitled "Tuhua Mayor Island". We have an extensive Marine reserve, cabins for hire at 5 to 15 dollars a night and the fishing club is available for cooking and hanging out. The book reveals some fascinating insights with stories about intrepid Americans who visited it upwards of 200 years ago. There was the Cherokee dentist fisherman the famous Zane grey of the the Anglers El Dorado. mark Twain aka Samuel Clement visited. it is famous for big game fishing. In the book you will find pictures of my Grandad the famous big time game fisherman. Sorry about the novel but I sent an invitation to the Wynns to do the same. My family owns 25 per centile so I am llowed to invite whomever I wish. There is no requirement to meet with any family member as we have to follow the same rules as the friends we invite. Ciao.

Wow! I am so grateful you introduced us to that amazing human. Life looks so much better from my prospective now. It's been a rough year for us all but mine has been extra sucky. Everything from a cancer diagnosis in early January, to witnessing the tragic, sudden death of a child in our family last month. Then a couple weeks ago, one of my adult children very nearly died of a critical potassium deficiency. It would be easy to have a huge pity party, and I must admit, I kind of was, at times. In reality though, my cancer is in full remission, my daughter has almost completely recovered and we are all coming to terms with the loss of an amazing young man. All in all, I really don't have all that much to complain about. If Mark can be happy in his situation, I certainly can as well.

Setting anchor at different remote islands every few days and living life to the fullest. But unfortunately as I grew older real life intervened and now all I can do is watch videos like this one and think about what could have been... Keep them coming! Y’all are awesome and big thanks to Mark for having you guys aboard. Great Video.
