So while we sat in the marina awaiting delivery of a new alternator to battery charger, we got to grips with a few jobs like tackling that diesel leak and picking up a new solar panel. The wait wasn’t too long, and we got on our way. Only to be thwarted by the furling gear for our genoa which chose this moment to get stuck.
Eventually we made it to a beautiful deserted anchorage on the southern tip of Penang where we watched a white-bellied sea eagle feeding its young as the sun went down.
We have a fantastic community of Followtheboat Mates who support us on PATREON and through the RUM FUND. Their generosity has enabled us to upgrade and add to our camera equipment, and to purchase better laptops and sound gear, as well as some of the best editing software available.
This incredible support is now being directed towards helping us prepare for our BIG ADVENTURE east, across 7,500 miles of ocean to the Pacific North West!
🙏 SUPPORT US THROUGH THE RUM FUND

Without your encouragement we would not be producing regular videos or be able to continue to push and stretch our imaginations, both in terms of creativity and sailing to new destinations.
Thank you, friends!
Peace and fair winds!

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
