OUR STORY:
John and Kristina purchased a 50ft Jeanneau Sun Odyssey with just a few weeks sailing experience. They set sail from Melbourne and travelled up the East Coast of Australia to the Great Barrier Reef as part of their Australian Sailing Series with dreams of one day sailing the world.

What an amazing woman. 90 days sailing alone around Antartica, what an amazing story. I can’t even imagine the psychological toll this trip took on her not to mention what the recovery was like once she completed her trip and got back to civilization. Thank you for sharing her story with us, your viewers, as well as getting the Australian media involved.

Lisa is such an aspiring sailor, it’s amazing the work she put into achieving her goal of circumnavigating Antarctica and setting a world record, both in the preparation of her boat and herself. Much respect!

Hi Kristina, this short docco was truly amazing and incredibly inspiring - actually made me emotional - *Thank you* for telling her story!! You have a bright future Kristina, your ability to communicate "events", stands with the best story tellers in our world.

This is extraordinary. I grew ups sailing around North Queensland, there is no way I have the courage to do this! This woman is made of stern stuff, cannot help but admire her.

Hey Kristina minus John, great to see your smiling face popping up on another video wih Lisa Blair & thats a sure story of never give up lady. Dismastered on her first attempt she went back & tried again & successfully achieved what she set out to do so a huge congrats to her. When you see some of the seas she expeirenced you just wonder how she managed but I am reminded of another remarkable sailor who was just 17yrs of age who conquered those same huge seas in the Southern Ocean below Tasmania on her way home to Sydney, both very courageous women for sure & the secret to safe sailing, know your boat & what good advice for all new aspiring sailors. Sorry to hear the sale of your beloved Tucana but different adventures await & cant wait to see whats in store. Take care you guys, love.

Amazing woman, thanks for sharing, just finished listening to two podcasts by Talking Australia talking to her, both very good and gives a bit more info on the trips.

[JohnHollands]

Kristina you've created a niche for yourself. Other sailing channels meet interesting people but we never get introduced to them. You, with your YT background can probably do that in a doddle. This was a good yarn. well told. I hope we can see more stories about people you meet in your travels.

[davidshepherd]

What an incredible human being. Braver than I. Terrifically presented.

[ronlokk]

I can only say one thing about that kind of sailing...OMG. All the best.

[simonlane]

Wow! What an amazing human. Thank you for sharing this story - Inspiring!

[jimfisk]

Hello Kristina, Lisa is a gutsy know how Lady.

[toastfrenzy]

Takes a different kind of sailor, so much kudos to Lisa!
You'll no doubt experience the Mediterranean Meltemi more times now and it's forecast strengths sometimes far from your localised 25 - 45 gusting 50knts! Not often, but twice in the last 10 years had unforcasted localised 50knts gusts over the deck whilst family sailing around the Mediterranean.

[MrWitheridge]

Wow that's insane! Solo too! She is very very brave indeed!

[joshflynn]

I really enjoy how you share these stories, building on strength, courage, climate change, and passion for sailing. All the best to you and your next adventure

[vinceperillo]

Wow what an extraordinary person.Thank you for highlighting her incredible bravery and skill for me. Always great stuff on your channel. Can't wait for next week. Peace

[sophiacutler]

oh my heart swelled, I love that story so much, so brave, and love your using journalism skills to share other sailor stories..., would love to see more!...pretty cool you helped out on Lisas boat while you where there..., and, bow lines save lives!..❤😊

[BohemianBeatster]

She is an amazing sailor; a brave adventurer to be sure. Besides her travels, her work gathering information on the conditions of our ocean waters for scientists to study climate changes, pollution and saving Mother Earth. Stay safe and stay groovy.
