Nordhavn 51 - Awanui NZ Adventures

Suggest you warn Mark that he may need his online 'hard hat' on if he visits here. And in no uncertain terms must he dare mention what kind of anchor he likes best

I thought he'd appreciate my choice of Rocna but his preference is Ultra

I watched his footage from Dartmouth having been drawn to his channel by Nick and his meet the owner session (which I have always found interesting in past with other owners) and while Marks style is perhaps not that great to camera his drone skills shine through. Perhaps the music needs some work but I have clicked to follow him so hopefully once he gets further afield from Newtown creek or the Anchorage’s of Hurst his drone will open up some useful views for others. I’m not a mobo but his presentation did lead me to look at smaller nordhaven online as well .I wish him all the best and look forward to new updates and insights into future destinations as watching these vids can be helpful if you haven’t visited a port before. I m not brave enough to venture to Totnes but I guess others of shallower draft know this destination well.

What is like about him is...he's not trying to pretend he is something he's not. He's not bragging about anything and accepts his failings.
Also I think he is directing his video commentary to his friends and family in NZ.

Having met him and chatted face to face, I agree. His channel is not making any attempt to seek social media fame.

Funny really.. When his N51 was launched I lost interest in the early videos pretty quickly but now I wouldn't miss them. Just some Kiwi fella who bought a £1.5m Nordy and decided to motor it a big chunk of the way around the world. Hats off to him.
