FTB Sailing Interview #06 | Jia of PSS Shipyard | Chebilang, Thailand

This is a new one for us, a sailing interview with a non-sailor! In actual fact Jia, manager of PSS Shipyard, does own his own (motor) boat but he rarely gets the chance to go out in it. He's in the yard seven days a week most weeks so it was nice for him and his wife, Julie, to get away for a ...

TROPICAL STORMS Ep 8

Life was good. But, as potential illegal immigrants, we needed to get out of Dodge before the law caught up with us... We had a few ideas about the route, and would let the wind dictate our final direction. As we upped anchor, another spectacular sunrise unravelled across the islands. We managed so...

FOUR FISH IN FOUR MINUTES! EP 6

Having decided roughly in which direction to head in order to get to Phuket, we weigh anchor from Ko Lipe on a hot morning.

We're in the UK right now, back at Liz's mum's home of Rye in East Sussex. This ancient port town in steeped in nautical history and boats come right in to the town centre to moor up. We thought we'd do a little bit of recording down by the slipway, so with Liz leading the way we...
