Would you have surgery in Asia? + How to tie an eye splice - Sailing Ep 191

👉This episode was filmed before the worldwide emergency👈

Would you have surgery in Asia? Undergoing surgery in Malaysia or anywhere in the world you happen to be sailing is daunting. If it’s not your own country, finding a hospital or a doctor, trusting that person’s judgement and going into the operating theatre are hurdles that as a cruiser you have to be prepared to jump.

When an insect bite on Liz’s back turned septic and didn’t respond to on-board antibiotics we knew we needed to see a doctor fast. It was deep, needed cutting out, dressing properly and a good course of strong antibiotics.

We continue “Roy’s Rope Tutorials” at Miri Marina, this time it’s how to make an eye splice with three strand rope.

And we sail out of Miri to anchor in a swell that keeps Jamie up all night.
