Accidents & Injuries Abroad (Hiking with a Broken Foot) | Travel & Sailing Ep 287
January 30, 2022 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:15:14 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
What happens if you are sailing outside your country and you get injured or have an accident on your boat? Does your boat insurance cover you? Or should you take out foreign health insurance?
Hiking Kamunsu Hill at the Sabah Tea Resort through an ethereal mist, accompanied by nothing but the sounds of insects and birds, was a pretty idyllic day. That was until the next morning when Liz couldn’t walk and knew there was something deeply wrong with her foot.

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
