OUR CAT GOES OVERBOARD!! Ep 34
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

For the record: Millie’s had a ladder of one sort or another for the last 8 years, since she was a kitten, and we even have footage of her using it, have a look here:
She hadn’t fallen in for more than 5 years before this. We still don’t know how it happened, but we suspect the current was too strong for her to reach safety at the stern.
How to sail a boat – solo sailing. This is a little intro into how Jamie sails SY Esper (a ketch cutter rigged Oyster) on his own. You’ll notice some changes in our latest vlog and we hope that you like the new format.
Please leave any questions and comments in the section beneath the clip and we’ll try out best to answer all of them on camera.

In this episode Jamie is still sailing with American McGee around Ko Pu and Ko Lanta. However the footage recorded wasn’t up to our high standards so we recorded the part where Jamie shows us how he sails SY Esper, an Oyster 435, on his own.
We start with turning on the instruments and then using the selector switch to start the engine with the correct battery. Jamie then takes us through each sail: the mizzen, the main, the stay and the foresail. Throughout this clip we stop and give mini guides on various aspects of the process.
We also have a new section – Questions – and we encourage you to post your own questions in the comments under this clip.
