SAILBOAT RUNS AGROUND! Ep 22
March 31, 2016 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:21:27 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In the last episode we left you with Jamie and Brendon who had nipped over to Phiphi for the night. They took in the back streets, a storm and some thai boxing before returning to ao chalong. Back there, Jamie starts preparing Esper for her last journey of the season.
Back in Ao Chalong they wait for the rain to subside and the clouds to pass before putting out the main and weigh anchor under a painted sky. (con’t below)

It’s a cracking sail, hitting over 8 knots in gentle seas and beautiful surrounding countryside.
The last part of the journey sees them having to motor into wind and to an anchorage just outside their destination.
At 2pm Yacht Haven calls through to let Esper and her crew know that it’s time to come into the marina. With the help of the manager Nick and his staff, Brendon and Jamie tie up and head straight to a local restaurant for some light refreshments.
Papas and Mamas is one of three restaurants in the area. It’s built on stilts as it’s surrounded by water at high tide. We find Papa, the proprietor, laughing his head off at a poor yachtsman who has run aground on a sandbank outside the marina. This little incident keeps Jamie and Brendon amused for a while. There but for the grace of god and all that…
With Esper safely tied up Jamie takes a trip to the UK to see his family, but don’t worry, we’ve got loads more to come! In the next episode we return to esper to find an unrecognisably large cat on our boat. And we start to prepare esper for some sailing around some of Thailand’s most beautiful coast line.

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
