STILT HOUSES ON TROPICAL BEACHES Ep 84
▶ Check out my gear on Kit: https://kit.com/followtheboat
Our sailing story has taken us to this Indonesian community, living in wooden stilted houses over sand and coral. Could this be the perfect way to live?
We get to know the people of Anambas in this episode, meeting the inhabitants of Letong as we travel around Jemaja by scooter. The kids here are learning English and were keen to practise on us. With our translate app, we made ourselves understood…sort of.
There isn’t much room when you’re living in a stilt house,sandwiched between rainforest slopes and the sea, but the people rub along together in small, simply-furnished homes and shops. Mostly they walk, but some ride motorbikes over the rickety pontoons.
If you enjoy fish and seafood, the Anambas is the place to come. In a restaurant in Letong, we had the best ‘cumi cumi’ (squid) we have ever tasted!
Peace and fair winds!

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
