04:56 How to avoid fishing nets and lines
One of the biggest headaches for cruisers in SE Asia is the sheer number of fishing boats at work close to land and off-shore, anything from one-man canoes to smoking trawlers. The question is how to avoid fishing nets on a sailboat?
We’ve been sailing in these waters for six years, but we first learned tactics to keep clear of nets and lines back in 2010 when we sailed the Red Sea and Arabian Sea to India.

Before the current situation kicked off, we were sailing from Miri in Sarawak to Labuan in Sabah. Simpler times? Maybe, but Liz was recovering from a back operation and Millie was getting sicker by the day. This is when the stress began for us.

How to avoid fishing nets on a sailboat - Sailing Ep 192 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
