10 WORST JOBS on a SAILBOAT 🛠️💩 | Casting Off with Followtheboat 026
April 09, 2023 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:44:14 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Can you guess the worst job on a sailboat? There are as many ‘worst jobs’ as there are sailors, but one job stands head and shoulders above the rest.
As long-term cruisers, we can affirm that life on a sailboat is an adventure. It can be a peaceful getaway, a thrilling ride, or a challenging experience that tests your limits. However, not all jobs on a sailboat are as exciting as others. Some are downright unpleasant, tedious, or even dangerous.
Remember, this is our list, you may have different opinions, in which case we’d LOVE to hear them in the comments.
And don’t forget our competition to win an FTB mug. Join us on DISCORD and submit your image for judging. Entries must be in by Monday 17th April 2023.

We've been blogging, vlogging and podcasting about living on our boat since 2005. If you love travel, sailing, fishing, diving and photography this might be the channel for you... Each week we post a 15-20 minute snapshot of what we did. It might cover anything from sailing, travelling, meeting people, fishing, cooking, shopping in exotic markets or hanging out on a tropical beach, to boat maintenance (there's a lot of that when you live on a boat) and tackling challenges or bureaucratic conundrums. There's also a fair bit of photography and diving. Even though the world continues to throw spanners at us, we love being perpetual travellers. And we've never regretted making the big leap into this alternative lifestyle for even a nanosecond. If we make you laugh or inspire you, then these videos haven't been a total waste of time. Pop round to the pub and share a drink with us... https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Jamie and Liz xx

Making Cruising Plans on a Blustery Day | EPISODE 400!🎉
While hunkered down on the canal in the rain, we take a look back at a few of our moments aboard our sailboat and compare it to life now. There are similarities, not least the weather (yep, even on a canal boat we have to be mindful of the winds), but what...
A canal-side village of forgotten shipyards & ancient landscapes | Ep 399

Is off-grid mooring the last freedom? (Life on the riverbank) | Ep 398
One of the last places you'll find genuine freedom in the UK is off-grid mooring on the canals and rivers. And if you choose a secluded spot like the winding hole on the Keadby and Stainforth canal, you can escape the rat-race and slow down to immerse you...

We Lost Control of our Boat in Gale Force Crosswinds | Ep 396
We lost control of our widebeam canal boat in a gale in England. Who said strong winds were the preserve of sailors? It turns out that the "wrong" wind can affect canal boats as much as sailing boats. It was Marley-the-dog's first trip, so how did he do?...
