FTB Podcast S02E01: The Crows Of Fort Cochin
January 21, 2012 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:36:25 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
This is an audio podcast revamped for youtube, accompanied by random photographs depicting Fort Cochin, the subject for this week’s show.
It is the first in a new series of our travels and adventures as we explore the huge subcontinent of India. If you missed our first series, which covers our sail from Turkey to India through the pirate-infested waters of the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea, you’ll find them all on iTunes. Just search for ‘followtheboat’. You can also find more information at www.followtheboat.com/ftp-podcasts/.
Although this is an audio recording this youtube version features photographs of Fort Cochin, the area that this podcast covers, taken by Jamie Furlong. You can see more of his work at www.flickr.com/photos/followtheboat/. His personal photography website is www.jamiefurlongphotography.com/.
Our new theme music is provided by the music company behind the ‘Eesan’ soundtrack, a Tollywood movie from 2009. The copyright holders very kindly gave us permission to use this track as our theme tune. As a special thanks, we play the whole track at the end of the podcast. Listen out, it’s a great tune.
We cannot guarantee that we’ll be able to convert our audio podcasts to youtube clips as we live on a boat where internet connection is not always guaranteed, so please do use iTunes or the link above to subscribe to the podcasts proper.

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

We Lost Control of our Boat in Gale Force Crosswinds | Ep 396
We lost control of our widebeam canal boat in a gale in England. Who said strong winds were the preserve of sailors? It turns out that the "wrong" wind can affect canal boats as much as sailing boats. It was Marley-the-dog's first trip, so how did he do?...
