CLOSE ENCOUNTERS IN SHIPPING LANES! - SAILING FOLLOWTHEBOAT Ep 100
March 22, 2018 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:22:30 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Tropical rainstorms that go on for days are no fun, so we hid in one of the prettiest marinas in Malaysia to escape, but the rain kept coming and the mould kept growing… Then the sun came up and we had some close encounters with containers in the Singapore shipping lanes!

This is our 100th episode since the first vlog after our refit, published on 9 May 2015.
Back then Jamie was tackling the usual boat chores, Liz wasn’t catching any fish, Millie was thinner and the weather was still hot.
If you watch some of our earlier output you’ll understand why we’re embarrassed about the rudimentary editing, video and sound quality. And we hope you will have noticed the improvements we have been making.
The really exciting thing has been to watch our sailing channel grow, and to read the increasingly informed and entertaining comments. We have a fantastic community of subscribers and followers on Youtube and social media, and the most generous group of individuals who support us on PATREON and through the RUM FUND.
Not only has this fantastic generosity enabled us to upgrade and add to our camera equipment, but we have bought better laptops and sound gear, and now have access to some of the best editing software available.
Without your encouragement we would not be producing such 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!

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
