This live chat is about a two week holiday on SV Esper with followtheboat, the kind of holiday that would usually cost thousands of $$$, but we’re offering for FREE to one lucky winner and partner. AND THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY HOLIDAYS TO COME WHICH WILL BE UP FOR GRABS!
1. This is going to appeal to two different types of people:
◦ Someone who is thinking of becoming a world cruiser, and wants some practical experience
◦ Or someone who watches our videos and enjoys the journey and would relish the chance to see it firsthand
2. This opportunity is open to our Patrons!
◦ Patrons are people who like what we do, and support us on this adventure.
◦ This is our way of giving them something back.
◦ Anyone can be a Patron. It costs as little as $2 a month (the price of a cup of coffee) to join our fantastic Patron Mates.
3. And not only that, this is NOT a ONE-OFF, it’s gonna become a regular partnof FTB
4. The reason why we’re talking about this now:
◦ We’re getting very close to our goal, in fact we’re over 75% there!
◦ To be eligible you have to have been a Patron for three months, so get in on the action NOW!
PATREON and SUPERCHATTER question time codes:
07:09 How will you be picking the winner?
09:59 Will you be looking for crew across big oceans?
13:18 How much will it cost a Patron to come aboard for a week? And is this just for Patrons or can the Patron’s spouse come along too?
15:52 Is there an itinerary for our time on board? And do you anticipate any overnight passage making during the course of our stay?
17:42 Will we be on the watch bill? And what sort of duties will we be expected to perform?
24:45 What do you consider prerequisites to qualify as a good fit?
29:34 What should we bring with us? Should we bring gloves for “landlubber” hands? What do you think are must-haves?
33:28 How will allowing Patrons on board affect your progress of moving towards the Pacific passage?
35:16 Does Liz use pyjamas, or underwear to sleep in? If Jamie sleeps in the nude, this may be a deal breaker…
37:50 While on Esper will there be travel that will take us into more than one country? If so, how do we work out in advance any visa issues? Will the stay on board begin and end in the same location?
42:47 What happens if Millie violently reacts to a temporary crew member? Does their temporary status become that of keel hauled?
45:14 Is there a possibility of meeting American McGee?
46:42 What equipment should a visitor expect to bring (e.g., PFD, harness, foul weather gear, sleeping bag, etc.?)
49:36 How flexible are you with dietary restrictions (e.g., vegetarian, pescatarian, etc.?)
51:59 In some episodes you have been cooking in the galley. Do you ever cook outside e.g. on a grill or in a solar oven?
52:58 Do you think you’ll eventually sail to the UK or the Med or does that not appeal?
Thank you for watching!
Love,
Liz, Jamie and Millie xxx
