Crossing the border on a sailboat - Sailing Q&A 36
June 16, 2019 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:00 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
How to cross borders on a sailboat. It’s one of the BIGGEST topics we get asked about. So how do you check-in on a boat or know where to go? And how long can you stay for? We have the answers!
☕☕☕ YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO WIN AN FTB MUG! https://youtu.be/IxVFDZCF1eo
In a nutshell? Crossing the border by sailboat for you is the same as arriving by air or road, but (like everything to do with cruising) it takes a little longer checking your boat in and out.
We cleared out of Indonesia recently and filmed the whole process. So watch till the end and see exactly how clearance works from start to finish.

Crossing the border on a sailboat - Sailing Q&A 36 Locations
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
