"Which YouTube Channels Do You Despise?" | YOUR Questions (Part 1) | Sailing Video Podcast 057
August 11, 2024 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:41:43 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Living aboard a sailboat full-time may seem like a dream lifestyle, but what does it really entail? Follow the Boat’s Liz and Jamie share their experiences and insights in this candid episode.
Lifestyle and Routine
When asked about living on a boat, Jamie emphasizes that it’s not a holiday. It requires hard work, dedication, and constant maintenance to ensure everything remains in top shape. Liz adds that their life revolves around the boat – they spend 24/7 aboard Esper.
Maintenance
The couple admits to putting off certain maintenance tasks, such as checking the Seacocks monthly. However, they do prioritize other aspects like regular engine checks and filter replacements.
Laundry and Housekeeping
Addressing the question about laundry on the boat, Jamie explains how they use a combination of handwashing and laundry services while traveling. Liz shares that she enjoys getting her clothes washed by her mother when back in the UK. Hand sanitizer is often used during sailing for cleanliness.
Favorite Aspects of Living on a Boat
For Jamie, their favorite point of sail is going close to the wind when Esper performs exceptionally well in these conditions. Liz mentions how she enjoys waking up at anchor, appreciating the peace and tranquility it brings.
Pets and Companions
Liz and Jamie fondly miss their cat Millie who passed away. They mention how Millie was a big part of their lives for 13 years. While they would love to have another pet, the responsibility and commitment required make it difficult while sailing.
YouTubers Despised
Addressing a cheeky question about which YouTubers they despise, Jamie states that Liz dislikes certain influencers known for their drama and lack of authenticity in showcasing sailing life.
A Final Word
Liz and Jamie thank their viewers for sticking with them, emphasizing the importance of honesty in depicting a sailing lifestyle on YouTube. They promise to tackle more viewer comments in future episodes.

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
