We Sailed Around Australia (4,000 Miles with Zero Experience!) 😱⛵️

[@aaronnunn5240]

Hey Krissy. Its the Gateway Bridge buddy! Hahah bet John has fun with this... love the gift idea to get people to a point of confidence to go and sail more! X

[@aaronnunn5240]

Ps. We have a Beneteau oceanis

[@finsimple4396]

lol are you from Brisbane? It's the story bridge, a heritage listed site. The gateway bridge is different and goes past the airport.

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

got goosebumps watching you so happy when John got the roster!! how exciting! So many epic adventures to come! We can't wait to see, and hopefully see you in the med xxxx

[@davidnichols147]

We are generally happy for you and John as he reenters the work place. Thank you so much for your past experiences shared with the adventures of a lifetime. Wish you both all the best and will be awaiting your next adventures shared, thank you so much.

[@pleiadesdriver1]

That was a very interesting video. Fair winds on your next adventure. I've really enjoyed all your adventure. Coming into Brisbane reminds me of sailing into Chicago on the Great Lakes. It was amazing watching the city rise out of the water and being moored right downtown near Navy Pier was just a joy. Wednesday night fireworks off Navy Pier didn't hurt either. Perhaps when you head to Europe we may get a chance to run into you two. My wife and I are just about to set sail on a two year voyage from Scotland, to the Med, across the pond to the Caribbean, and finally back to back to the Great Lakes. The final destination though is up for debate. it is still two years away...

[@simonlane7817]

Wow! It's all getting very exciting for you guys. Congrats to John on the new position 👍. & Thank you for the "sailing course" competition - what a great way to give back to your fan base ... although your videos are more than enough 😊. Safe travels

So obvious Kristina that you have experience in talking in front of cameras and in story telling. You did a fantastic Job this year in showing us your travels. So nice to see,, You have this sparkling personality and John being so relax al the time.. I hope to see more videos....sadly without the boat 😪 Sending you a virtual kiss on your cheek and a hug... all the way from the Netherlands. x x x

[@joerobinson3148]

I’m a Brissy boy! Glad you guys made it back with some awesome stories. Don’t stay too long tho! Theres a much greater life out there on the water. My wife and I hope to buy our own sail boat one day and sail with our two boys. Will be great to follow along with your future journeys!

[@carsonc1272]

That's a very cool giveaway. Usually people only take care of their patreons so it's nice to see the regular viewer being appreciated. I'm far enough away that it doesn't make sense for me but "good on you" as they say. 😀

[@KristinasTravels]

Hey Carson! Honestly, we're so grateful to each and everyone of you, this is our way of giving back in someway 🥹 John and I are planning to expand our giveaways to other parts of the world soon! We know that you're all are spread out far and wide, so we want to make sure that everyone has a chance to get involved. We're thinking about starting our next giveaway in the Americas, and then moving on to Europe. And, we may even offer a chance for someone to come onboard with us on our next adventure! Watch this space! ❤️ and thank you for your love over our Aussie series! It's not over just yet, but we're getting real close now! xx

[@carsonc1272]

@@KristinasTravels I was just checking my favorite sailing channels subscription numbers. You guys have already passed or caught up with most of them! Some of them have been doing this for many years. Not that you of all people need the advice but when LaVaga started getting put in the news then their numbers went up fast. I think it may have been from tapping a demographic outside of the KZbin algo. Keep doing what you're doing though. I'm happy to see both of you doing so well... and so quickly!

[@phillipbleach397]

Wonderful vlog. Really looking forward to the next epic adventure 💯🙌👏👍

[@Chasing72]

I commented on an earlier video that John should fly part time and Kristina should stick with the boat and handle the media. I never knew I was prescient… 😂

Another great one guys and already looking forward to your next chapter. If your Europe trip is anything like your first series there it will be awesome....I can still see the image of the blue water and those rocky hills with the amazing cliff hanging homes around Greece. If you are not going straight away maybe Kristina can do some Aussie vlogging around SE Qld like all the yanks and poms do but havn't got a clue what they are talking about lol. With your talent it would be an absolute hit!!

[@glenhopkins8630]

Hi guys & its the end for Tucano as far as you guys are concerned hey. A tad sad I must say as I have been watching all episodes & that boat has certainly taught you guys heaps but new adventures await & John goes back to his dream job as such & you Kristina do what??? I am sure that you have something planned whilst John is working as his shifts will surely not be every day of the month so that still leaves plenty of time together. My you guys have been amazing in what you have accomplished, congrats on that & now new experiences await over in the Med so look forward to what happens next & I see even a road trip in the works so that will be different & I am not sure that I will recognize John with short hair but both of you have succh a wonderful tan. Kristina keep up the good video's as they are just so entertaining & looks like new camera gear will help. Enjoy getting reaquainted with Brisbane again & being able to go out for cofee or dinner when you want & stay in a/c accomadation, all the goodies you have missed I am sure. Look forward to whats next with your adventures & stay safe. Cheers & love.

[@markbernier8434]

Nice! When was this filmed? The river hasn't been this brown since July 2022. There's over 100 creeks and streams as contributories that wash dirt into the poor brissie. It's actually a sand bottom river as far up as Jindalee ... notice the sand deposits on the banks at various locations? E.g. Indooroopilly under the Walter Taylor bridge and Captain Burke Park (just up river from where you were moored). Dolphins and sharks swim upstream ... google or KZbin it as proof. Happy sailing.

[@KristinasTravels]

Hey Jimmy, yes we're behind in our story, hence how the boat is already sold :) But we'll be back to real time in a few weeks, which is very exciting! We can't wait to share with you what we're up to next now that John has just been granted this new part time working arrangement! Happy sailing and happy Easter! x

[@marktaylor484]

Wow! RYA Practical courses are way more expensive than in the UK, did my DS Practical (out of Hull)l a few years ago now for 40% of the Aussie price now. I know how John feels having finished my YM Shorebased this time last year, my Lecturer said (5 years ago now) the RYA mysteriously doubled the questions' whilst keeping the same time's in the 3 exam's - Go figure!? I also totally get docking up in strong tidal flows, having last year moved my friend's 55' Dutch Barge from Coleraine to Derry, not huge tidal height changes but Loch Foyle narrow's considerably into Derry whooshing along at a fair old clip every six hours'. As an aside I share the same birth date as RW but I have ten years on him...
