949 Days living alone on an island + Broken dodger! - Ep142
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

Is this ‘lazy’ life taking care of Mother Nature still idyllic? We’re getting closer to our passage to Borneo via Sumatra, but then DISASTER strikes…
We’re often asked about how to get visas for all the countries we sail into, and on the whole it’s fairly easy, but getting into Indonesia by boat is proving to be more arduous than we first thought.
Thanks to all our supporters on Patreon and the Rum Fund for your LOVE and encouragement.

Peace and fair winds!
