How's this. 3,000,000 yrs aprox NZ was attached to Aus & was sub terrainian. Due to a fault line it broke away & drifted to where we are today. We are on the San Andreus fault line & we we rose up. And we still are. True out the country we experience up to 1,000 earthquakes a day, earning us our 3rd name, being the shaky Isles. The other in case your wondering is AOTEAROA. Translation : Land of the Long White Cloud.
Hope you find this interesting. As a Tour Guide & Coach driver I welcome all aboard & note to Aussies that here in NZ we have a Nth Island, a Sth Island & a West Island.😇
Much respect ....well done both of you. Not to be concerned though ...all is well. GESERA If you are interested in knowing more please look up Queen Romana Didulo and her Royal Decrees. Blissings
Beautiful!!! Such a nice video
Thank you for watching, your love, support and saying gday 🧡💭 we love hearing for you Gary! 🙌 cheers
I would go back to work, as he loves it, save up, get the ducks in a row with the knowledge you have now and then make a dash for it permanent
Cheers Patrick!! ❤️
Hey guys great to see the girls enjoying Frazer Is whilst the boys are boack on board their boats. For John, he has a most difficult decision to make re his future & good luck with that! Its been aan absolutely awesome you have taken us on from no experience when you first set out from Melbourne to now experienced sailors who have sailed all the way up the east coast of Australia with just so many magical experiences along the way but I feel that the Mediterranean is calling. Great viseo of Frazer Island & was certainly amazed at all those tiny crabs running along the beach. Well next stop Brisbane whilst you catch up with editing & your friend Racklea as I saw you in one of her videos, whilst John does some flying till next boat trip beckons. I see no reason whilst you cannot be like Sailing Doodles & just shoot video from wherever you are & talk a lot about yourselves & your boat & what you are up to. Kristina youi have a great way with presentation & John has a great body for the women. I cant wait to see whats next for you guys. Take care & love.
Thanks Glen, so glad you enjoyed this one. Yes, the Mediterranean is def calling. We’ve loved learning in Australia, it hasn’t been easy 🧡🏝️☀️ the tides, currents, swell, long distances etc, but what an epic place to learn how to sail! We were thrown in the deep end I think, but wouldn’t change it for the world. Thank you for your lovely compliments, we’ll keep you posted on our future plans over coming weeks ☕️🙌❤️🤩💭 x
You will have some wonderfull memories, you will not regret that fact that actually you did it ... sailing that it 🙂
Do both, work for six months flying, living on a boat moored up. Then sail making videos for six months. Another fantastic video always so positive and happy.
The dream plan 💭💭 we’re putting it out there 🙏🙏🌏✌️🤩 such a good idea!
Looking forward to see what comes next for you two. love Frazer Island, I still remember the amazing white sands
Cheers Tony! We can't wait to share the next chapter with you too. Cheers for being with us since the start mate. We feel grateful, you're part of our special crew xx
I love how Fraser island is so close to the mainland but yet it seems like it's a million miles from anywhere
So very accurate Bopper!! 💭✌️ heaven on earth!
Good vid.
Thanks for sharing.
No regrets.
Life is good ~
Great trip around Fraser. Thanks. At the end of 1974, 4 mates and I, all 16, convinced parents to drive us to Maryborough where we had hired a very small plane to fly us to Fraser and land us on the beach. There we stayed for two weeks. We fished off the beach and the the Maheno which was still almost recognisable as a ship, ate yugari supplemented with some dried vegetables and rice. we came with a case of oranges so we did not get scurvy 😀 We camped on the bank of Eli Creek and swam in those waters each day. No one else around. We were then picked up of the beach by plane back to Maryborough where we caught the tram back to Brisbane. I have been back a couple of times since. 1974 no phones, no contact just us boys having a wonderful time. PS my grandad ran away to sea as a cabin boy in 1912 on the Maheno out of Invercargill NZ.
Sounds like a great trip, rare to experience those sorts of adventures these days!
In any event, I wish you and John the absolute best for whatever comes your way next (the known, and the unknown). Nonetheless I hope you continue to thrive and share the moments of learning, gratitude, exploring as well as the not so great times whatever they may be. We love you both so much, you bloody icons. Keep doing you, we will keep watching, promise! P.s long shot but if you're ever in Cairns next I would love to say hello 🤗
Dingos, Jellyfish, Stone fish, Blue Ring Octopi, Sea Snakes, Lion Fish, Cone Shells...
Love it guys
Cheers Neil 🧡✌️ Happy weekend x
Good luck both of you! You're both awesome people, I'm sure whatever you decide you'll do amazingly well! I've loved your videos though and hope they'll continue would love to see you continuing to sail around the world!
Such a beautiful part of the world. And the best bit: you can explore it on a sailboat by doing a bareboat charter, no license required! We just did a bareboat charter with our friends in January on board of "Alida" and it was such a great adventure. Beautiful beaches and creeks, sailing, colourful sunsets and fun for the kids. Will definitely do it again.
Would he be happy flying turbo prop or small commuter jets for a commercial company? Puddle Jumping somewhere conducive to the Live aboard lifestyle. Like say the Caribbean, South Pacific/Polynesia, or maybe around the Mainland, Islands and Archipelagos of South East Asia?
That way you guys could at least still live on the boat and do some island hopping, and he could keep getting up in the air as well. I went to college to be a commercial pilot but had to have several discs in my lumbar spine fused which meant I couldn't pass the physical to get my license anymore. But some of my college friends are flying for big commercial airlines. The ones who seem the happiest though are flying for smaller regional airlines or for themselves, in places like Grenada, and the ABC's, Alaska, 1 friend is based in Bali. Another is based in the Sea of Japan ferrying people and freight around the Islands of Japan and S Korea. Another Flies throughout the Philippines and Indonesia. An acquaintance of mine who was close friends with my older brother is a retired pilot from the US Navy and flies back and forth between the small Islands of the Southwest Caribbean like San Andres, and Providencia and mainland Columbia, and also over to cities from Panama up into Mexico.
Just a thought. I don't love being cold, but I also don't do well when it's ultra hot either. To me places like San Diego or Hawaii with their very consistent climate in the 60s and 70s would be my ideal place to live. But if you enjoy hot sticky tropical paradise, it's just a thought, but maybe John could look into applying to international airlines and/or regional airlines operating in the Islands you enjoy spending time in?
Hope that John has clarity in his decision.
Thank you, it’s not going to be easy for him ❤️🥰 but the end decision will be amazing 🤩
As always another excellent video ! 😊
Cheers Lucas ✌️🙌😅 Appreciate you stopping by to say gday and show us some love mate ❤️ It’s going to be an interesting couple of months, can’t wait to share more with you soon!
If there is such a thing as a “perfect human voice,” you definitely have it.
🥹😍🥰💭 thank you Jeff, that’s so nice of you to say 🙏☕️✌️ hope you’re enjoying your weekend xx
Those qld midgies! Great adventure guys and good luck with the next one😎
eeek those snakes....the river looks like heaps of fun
Those mosquitoes and flies are terrible pests but there’s an easy, non-toxic way to deal with them, it’s called Peppermint, they hate it. Get a spray bottle fill it with warm water, add 5-7 drops of peppermint extract, shake and spray all over yourself. Mosquito barrier in a bottle. In Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 we wiped a table where food was being served with peppermint extract and had no flies while we ate.
Oh John! I feel for you mate... hope the transition back to work isn't hard.
Oh.. its going to be BRUTALLLLLL Simon! 🤪 haha, but he'll get there. We're trying to make the best of both worlds work, we'll keep you posted on our plans v soon! 🤩
Love watching all of your adventures here in Naples Florida, I'm sure this will not be the end maybe just a break. Either way I really enjoy watching your adventures each week.
Beautiful kristina🧡😻👍👋👋
Thank you legend xx ✌️🧡🥰
Hey guys I know John has a big decision but if I can put my 2 cents in John remember what made this adventure possible your fantastic career. You will be able to have many more adventures but being an airline pilot sounds like and awesome adventure itself. Whatever you decide I'm sure it will be the right one for the two of you. Can't wait for the next chapter. Peace
The Western side of Fraser Island is simply magnificent
Amazing quality of video and editing.. very nicely put.. love the beaches.. keep up the good work!!! Love from India
Glad you enjoyed it Hussain! I'm learning a new editing software, so I REALLY appreciate your kind words as I'm still working out where everything is on the program! x
Man I love watching spacex launches
Hahaha 🤣 there’s something amazing about them hey!! It’s such remarkable feat! And it reminds me how small we are really in the scheme of things and the universe 🪐
Awesome video as always! Although not easy, I'm sure that you will both make the right decision together regarding your future. I really enjoy watching your videos, and I wish you both the best of luck! 😀
Thank you so much train wild! It's def not easy, but we're come up with a bit of an epic plan, can't wait to share the next chapter 🥰 Cheers for stopping by and taking the time to say hello and giving us some love, it means so much, cheers for being part of the crew x
@@KristinasTravels Your welcome! I have been watching your channel and I think it's awesome. Sailing through the Greek islands was epic. Great work!
Hello kristina's travel. Nice videos. New subscriber here😊
Thank you guys, you are lovely beasts. It’s nice to see you in the wild. ✌️🤟
Cheers Sean, we had an absolute blast in our natural habitat! 😊🤭 Hope you're having an epic start to the week! 🤙
Fraser Island is really lovely - seriously, it’s hard to do much better.
Absolutely, and it's closer to civilisation than most of the other islands we've visited to date!! Really accessible to those without a boat, thanks to the ferry! 🤗
Idea: How about a Aeroplane Circumnavigation?
John has been talking about doing this in a light plane for a while now, don’t gear him up!! 🙈😅🌏🤩🙏
I'm glad you enjoyed Fraser Island, it is a pity that you only got to see a tiny bit of it. Thanks for another great video.
Love the videos, what a great adventure.
I get where he is coming from, I recently had to make the same decision. Keep flying 737’s up and down the east coast or take a chance on a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I haven’t looked back but the decision can be terrifying until it’s made, then it’s liberating. Go with your gut…..
Bobby from Sailing Doodles was a corporate pilot and had to give it up because he had a stroke.
Take the flying job, it will not be there forever, use to put cash in the bank sail when you can.
Groovy episode.
🙂 cheers for saying g'day and the love, glad you enjoyed it Yandle x
Well you seem to have visited most of the places that I did probably before you were born.I don,t know if you are aware that sand mining was carried out for nearly 30 years and was finally stopped in 1976 largely due to a conservationist called Tony Moore who with other groups went to the High court to stop it.Look forward to watching more videos in the future.
Oh, incredible! What vessel were you on when you did your trip?
Wow, we had no idea about the sand mining ❤️ what a wonderful initiative and fight from Tony!
@@KristinasTravels I can,t tell you what make of yacht it was but there were 6 of us and the year was 1979.
Thank You for a Great video this week!
Now for some advice from an old man. DON'T Throw away your Youth! Because you are only young ones! And that is the time you have to injoy it.
I could have moved to Hawaii back in the 90ds. But waited tell later in life to move here. And now my health isn't as good as it was. So there are things that are harder to do now. Or can't do anymore. And that is my Biggest Regret!
So don't make the same mistakes I made. Injoy life as long as you can. You only get one shot at it.
Ok until next time Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
very nice

Love this quote thanks for sharing
Guys, if you're in Greece (Corfu) starting from June, would love to host you on our boat if you need a place! We have good tips on boat hunting too. ;)
Sounds like a great offer. I might come and live on your boat for a few weeks next summer😎😁
Sensational, a star is born. ❤ Don’t sensationalise the Dingos to much hey. There getting a bad name. More Matty I guess!
i hope you can sail to bali , i think it is interesting ❤
soys los mejores❤️
im sure you've already thought of this, but I would reach out to as many boat manufacturers as possible and see if they will give you a boat / sponsor a boat / sponsor your boat. You have amazing videos and a great following and im sure manufactures would love to work with you #NoRiskNoReward #LoveTheContentAndCantWaitForWhatsNext
Hey John!
So sorry for the decision you've got to make. It would be so easy if it was a career you didn't love hey.
Its smart and very important to weigh up all the pros and cons too.
It's maybe a little reckless but after also travelling the world for a year before myself all I could say is simply do whatever makes you happiest. Plain and simple.
Of course no one wants to throw away a career you love and worked so hard for. But either way the work you did for it is done and try not to let that create additional value to it because the only true reason you should continue the career is absolute financial need or because it makes you happiest.
Maybe if it is already a question that in itself is telling you something?
If you can make it work without that career and you would ultimately be happier then mate... Life is way too short and if we want something enough as you guys know more than most... We have a way of making things work.
Best of luck mate, never met you in my life but you seem like such a top bloke and sending love to both. Follow your happiness mate.
Hey Robert, thanks for your thoughts and kind words. You’ve summed it up perfectly, you’re so right about doing what makes you happy. This one has consumed me for the better part of the last 6 months, finally feel like we may have worked out a compromise and everything starting to fall into place!
Thanks for your support Rob! 😊
@@jptilley10 Hey John, that's great news if you've found a way forwards mate. It's tough being at a cross roads in life and six months is a long time to wrestle with something like this hey. Gets to a stage where almost any answer is better than fighting it back and forth I bet! Tough though it is, you'll be able to take comfort knowing you've covered it from every angle to reach the smartest move! Hang in there and best of luck with it all ⚓
Maybe John could train as a helicopter pilot, there are jobs probably in piloting smaller planes where he can work a month on month off?
Hi Vicki, hope you’re having a great week so far! 🙏❤️ one month on, one month on is the ultimate plan! 🤗 we’ll keep you posted! 😘😍
Love your channel guys!!!! Been catching up on all your episodes this last few weeks! I just dropped a video catching marlin on those beaches! Give it a watch for me :) If your ever still around Fraser let me know I would love to take you 2 fishing by boat as I live in Hervey bay. Cheers guys!
very sad...!!!
❤❤🥰🥰
Cheers Frits for the love 🥰 All the feels x
Your now going to find sand in everything for weeks! 🤪
Donate for the Dream
Pleeeeease, do not sell your beautiful home on the water. Make it work. 😊
Cheers Richard. We love having you here every week. Tucana may not be our floating home forever, BUT new adventures await!
Can you not do 50/50 ?
Sail half the year and fly the other half ?
Such a good idea! 💡We’re working on it Tim! 😃😅 Hope you’re having a great weekend 🧡
⛵🌏⚓🌴⛱👙🩳🎣🤿🩴🕶🐬🦀🐟🐋🦈📸🐠☀️🇦🇺
Sooo why do I feel like you are breaking up with us? ; ( Ha! Do your friends have a sailing channel?
🙈🥲 no breakups please!!
No, they don’t have a channel unfortunately 🥹 xx
HILLARIOUS....
The airpod in the belly button got me... haha
Hey Kristina, your'e not a bad videographer, er video maker are ya mate?
Aww, thank you!! I felt a little out of my depth on this one, working the drone by myseld!! But stoked with how the aerial videos turned out! Yew.. does this make me qualified now?? haha x
@@KristinasTravels Kristina. You should never feel outa your depth in regards to your amateur video work mate. Your'e up there with the best of em. You and John, continue to spread your wings. P.S. My bags are packed and ready for our return to the Med.
@0:38 and babies. :) Sorry! Had to for all those Seinfeld fans out there!
😂 Seinfeld is the best!!!
Well I know one thing that would make my decision easier to make. If the airline has a policy to keep enforcing the govt mandates of the bioweapon that is not a vaccine, before John returns to work, then I would tell them to shove the job. Our health is far more important than having their bioweapon and then becoming another unfortunate incident where you end up with a damaged heart and a vastly shortened lifespan.
