Crossing borders on a sailboat is the same as travelling anywhere abroad. Except that with a boat, you need to times the bureaucracy by 10 in some countries… We’ve done it in seven minutes and three days. We know people who have been arrested on arrival, and there are some places where you just cannot take your dog…or your firearm.
There is a blog post to accompany this video on our website. To access it you need to be an FTBMate, for the price of a cup of tea!

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
