Oh yes. And since we’re in the water, how about servicing our watermaker and replacing the membranes too? It’s all in this week’s episode, including some great drone footage from Mr American McGee. Thanks, dude.
We’re now so close to leaving and we’re getting super excited. The weather has been unusually sunny and calm, which is odd for this time of year. We can’t guarantee it’ll hold out like this for our departure but with just the canvas work and a bit of stainless to go, there really isn’t much left to do. We’ve pencilled in ‘some time next week’ for our departure, but don’t tell everyone. A sailor’s plans, remember, are written in the sand…
Of course there are really a hundred jobs left to do on the boat, but these are listed as ‘can be done at anchor’, and it’s at anchor that we’re aiming for. There’s light at the end of the tunnel and we can see a palm-fringed island at the end of it.
Thanks to all our FTB Mates for your continued support. You keep us motivated and focused. We love you!
Peace and fair winds,
Liz, Jamie and Millie

followtheboat
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
