SIPADAN | ALONE at the BEST DIVE Spot in the World | Travel Ep 286
January 23, 2022 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:29 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Alone at Sipadan with the whole island reef-system to ourselves, we are grateful to experience the best diving in the world. We had close encounters with sharks, turtles, schooling jacks, bumphead parrotfish, as well as thousands of reef fish and macro creatures in this diving paradise. From the world-renowned Kapala-Sipadan Dive Resort, we took in a cave dive, wreck dive and several night dives.
Sometimes this lockdown has had its rewards…

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

Is off-grid mooring the last freedom? (Life on the riverbank) | Ep 398

We Lost Control of our Boat in Gale Force Crosswinds | Ep 396
We lost control of our widebeam canal boat in a gale in England. Who said strong winds were the preserve of sailors? It turns out that the "wrong" wind can affect canal boats as much as sailing boats. It was Marley-the-dog's first trip, so how did he do?...
