March 25, 2017 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:13:25 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
It’s about time we talked about #Christmas? Maybe you don’t want to think about it yet, but it’s not too early to start some festive shopping for that #holidayswag. We have some great #holidayshopping ideas for sailors and cruisers over the holiday season.
Everyone loves a bargain! We continue our daily vlogs in which we answer your questions and chat about sailing-related things. In this episode we grab eight items from Esper and talk about how much we use them. They’re all pretty inexpensive. Particularly the last one.
1. Kulumi lamp: https://youtu.be/DnCDbBoPjFI
2. Colander: http://bit.ly/ftb_colander
3. Mushroom lamp found in HomePro, Thailand. Sorry, there are similar ideas out there!
4. Flask: bought locally, all kinds available everywhere!
5. Fan: made by Mount Carmel (JFC11-50) available from Billion stores in Malaysia: https://www.yoycart.com/Product/45030177653/

8 Essential Christmas gifts for sailors and sailboats! Sailing Q&A 8 Locations
followtheboat
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
