FLOPPER STOPPER FAILURE! Ep 29
“Just go where the wind takes us,” we said.
“Twenty, thirty, forty miles, let’s see where we end up…”
And it was a pretty good blow, coming from the east on our beam.

SY Esper sailed herself, and felt steady as a rock. An over-nighter in the shadow of mighty Ko Phetra had us gently rolling, but at anchor next to Ko Tarutao the next afternoon even Millie-the-cat turned green from the relentless swell.
So it was anchor aweigh, and an evening passage south to Malaysia which brought the second day to a tranquil close.
It’s sailing-days like these which make all the preparation worthwhile.
“Come all ye young fellows that follow the sea.
To me weigh hey blow the man down!
And pray pay attention and listen to me,
Give me some time to blow the man down!”
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
