Another 100 miles to go before arriving in a new country to start a new project. But first we need to navigate for the next 22 hours through oil and gas rigs. And we need to time our entrance into Miri Marina perfectly because the sand bar along the coast...

There are a few reasons why sailors and cruisers are concerned right now about the current situation just as much a...

We show you how we sailed through lightning storms all night. After 100 miles into a 500 mile crossing in a small sailboat crossing in the open sea, we ran for shelter. A storm five-miles wide hung over the harbour as we navigated in 50m visibility through...

We took our best underwater footage yet, but first Jamie had to pick up one last Roti canai from the main man in Tarempa. We are fuming because Borneo continued its illegal burning of the rainforest, so we've decided to show the consequences of it here in ...
As the Borneo rainforest burns and we go back in time, it adds an eerie pall to Siantan. With SY Esper safely moored, we go on a bike tour around the island where people carry on the traditions of 1000 years. In some places, it's like being back in time, w...
With 27kts of wind, lively waves, strong currents and hazards all around, it took us nearly all day sailing to find a safe anchorage. After a few false starts, we ended up in the shelter of a small island just 60m from coral reefs.

Don’t believe the hype, sailing Channels are selling you a lie. Bottom line? The vast majority of cruisers are over 50 and do not post videos about their adventures. YouTube sailing channels are generally made by young fun-lovers, but most cruisers are '...
