******************************
s/y Esper has now left the shipyard after a year’s refit. For a week Liz, Jamie and Millie the Cat do absolutely nothing, but there’s no hiding from the remaining jobs. Eventually Jamie goes up the mast to investigate a halyard wrap problem, which offers a great perspective of Esper’s new, clean deck and Bass Harbour anchorage first thing in the morning.
The Esper crew take on another job that should have taken an hour. Instead it takes ten. The lesson learnt? There is no such thing as a simple job on a boat. Oh, and keep an eye on those tides!
The video finishes with Millie dreaming of a little round-the-boat perspective.

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
