Borneo rainforest burns and we go back in time - Sailing Ep 183
January 30, 2020 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:21:13 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
As the Borneo rainforest burns and we go back in time, it adds an eerie pall to Siantan. With SY Esper safely moored, we go on a bike tour around the island where people carry on the traditions of 1000 years. In some places, it’s like being back in time, with people using hand tools for farming, rock-breaking, and fishing.
How many wedding parties in your country would invite odd-looking foreigners wearing inappropriate clothes to come and join in the dancing? And what about kids playing outside in the street? Were times simpler in times gone by? Were there fewer dangers? Were we less scared than we seem to be now? Are children today missing out by staying inside their own homes? When we were growing up the only advice was ‘don’t talk to strangers’ and ‘stay on the pavement’.

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
