******************************
As Christmas approaches we are inundated with rain, rain and more rain. It’s just like being back in the UK! We still had fun, attending a Burmese wedding and rehousing some little animals.
Swimming Platform
Ton excelled himself once more with the creation of our teak swimming platform. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of it because it’s been raining non-stop all week. There’s a brief glimpse of it in the video clip, as well as Esper’s topsides without the clingfilm.
Burmese Wedding
Meet Tuo Lek and Wa, two of the Burmese workers who live next to the yard. Tuo Lek is part of the haul-out team and, despite his small stature, is fit and strong. He spends a lot of his time in the water by the dock, releasing and tightening the cradle for haul-out. Living directly opposite him is Wa, a seventeen year old whose father works with Tuo Lek. They got married on Friday and the yachties were invited for lunch.
After posing for photos we were taken to Wa’s house where the bride and groom met us and we presented them with gifts. No one got them a toaster.

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
