Sailing channels, sailing to Japan/Alaska/Canada, relationships on a sailboat...
February 09, 2020 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 01:05:17 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We discussed sailing channels in general and talked about our own take on the situation in particular. We covered our sailing plans for 2020 and beyond (yes, Japan, Alaska and Canada!)
We talked about relationships on a sailboat and also gave the latest update on Millie. Massive shout out to those superstars who chucked us some dosh towards the Millie fund, it’s an expensive business getting our little furry family member better, but she’s worth it.
Thanks to everyone who joined us on the LiveChat and sorry we could not answer all your interesting points and comments.

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

We Lost Control of our Boat in Gale Force Crosswinds | Ep 396
