HOW TO CHOOSE AN ANCHOR WINDLASS. Ep 57
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

How to choose a windlass. Or, what windlass should we buy to replace our mangled mess at the front of the boat? There’s some technical boat maintenance stuff in this episode but there’s also some rather splendid drone footage of the beautiful tropical island that is Langakwi. Make the most of it because this could be one of the last episodes before we leave for Sumatra. As always this episode has been brought to you by the kind youtube viewers who support us through:
