THE LONGEST NIGHT SAIL OF OUR LIVES! - SAILING FOLLOWTHEBOAT Ep 101
March 29, 2018 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:56 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
This passage north through the Malacca Strait was the most turgid and longest night sail of our lives. Ploughing directly into 4m waves and 20kts of wind on the nose is no fun.

At times we were barely making 1kt. With no bolt holes along the coast of Malaysia, and a hostile shore along Sumatra, it wasn’t safe to drop the anchor to wait out the weather. It was enough to try the patience of any sailor.
We have a fantastic community of individuals who support us on PATREON and through the RUM FUND.
Not only has this fantastic generosity enabled us to upgrade and add to our camera equipment, but we have bought better laptops and sound gear, and now have access to some of the best editing software available.
Without your encouragement we would not be producing such regular videos or be able to continue to push and stretch our imaginations, both in terms of creativity and sailing to new destinations.
Thank you, friends!
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
