Storms and night sailing in the world's busiest shipping lane gets the adrenaline going in this week's video. And entering the anchorage through a criss-cross of channels and wall-to-wall ships at anchor really kept us on our toes! In this episode, we mak...

From naughty girls in binikis to some local culture, this is the last of our episodes from beautiful Koh Phayam. We cover a lot of ground this week. Highlight is learning about the Moken, the original sea gypsies of Thailand. We also sail a 99ft schooner, ...

We are Jamie and Liz, two Brits on a boat with a cat called Milllie. We've been telling the story of our sailing adventures since 2005. WE LOVE MAKING VIDEOS! Each week we upload the latest episode of our followtheboat adventure. Yes, there are palm-tre...

When we returned to Antigua we stayed at Birdhouse, which overlooks the main harbour. Just check out the view and the size of those yachts! [] www.followtheboat.com [] * tales from the high seas *

We took quite a few clips of our trip from Cascais, Portugal to Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, though most are too big to optimise for the web. This one, however, best captures the crew relaxing whilst we bobbed up and down those Atlantic swells. Johnny on...

Many dorado were caught on our Atlantic crossing and this is us bagging our first catch. It's a tiddler but it puts up a bloody fight. The fish is caught by Rich whilst Tim stains his shorts. Clip contains naughty swear words. [] www.followtheboat.co...

This still makes me laugh out loud when I watch this. I dunno what Johnny was doing but he was making good use of those municipal bikes we hired for the day in Cascais, Portugal. [] www.followtheboat.com [] * tales from the high seas *

This clip was recorded in 2003 and taken when we had reached exactly half-way across the Atlantic Ocean. The sunset was incredible and I was completely blown away by the idea of being as far away from land as I'd ever been in my life. This is apparent in m...

Just to prove that I'd done it, I recorded the moment I got the third sail up on my tod. As I say in the clip it may only have been 4 knots and the fenders were still out but it was quite an achievement for someone who has only been sailing for two years. ...

We had a very painful time listening to the commentary on the BBC World Service, but when we eventually heard that England had won the rugby world cup we dropped sail and celebrated with a swim somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic! Watch out for Rich...
