We get told time and again by viewers to get out of the marina and start sailing, that real sailors do not use marinas, that they are bored with watching episodes from sailing channels which are set in marinas. Shot on a Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.4 lens dating from 1974.
So why do cruisers sometim...
We took our best underwater footage yet, but first Jamie had to pick up one last Roti canai from the main man in Tarempa. We are fuming because Borneo continued its illegal burning of the rainforest, so we've decided to show the consequences of it here in our videos as evidence that this illega...
As the Borneo rainforest burns and we go back in time, it adds an eerie pall to Siantan. With SY Esper safely moored, we go on a bike tour around the island where people carry on the traditions of 1000 years. In some places, it's like being back in time, with people using hand tools for farming...
Having left the Outpost in early June, we continue our journey to Vancouver from Haida Gwaii. Through periods of dead calm and gales, we share what we've learned about storm tactics and even receive an unworldly visitor from the other side.
For more information and advise on heaving to, watch ...
Parasites and disease are rife in SE Asia, as Jamie finds out in the Anambas when an uninvited 'passenger' climbs on board. A hookworm infestation must be treated properly, but were the facilities in the remote Anambas going to be able to help us?

16:14 Start here for engine fail and solution
Leaving our favourite anchorage of Jemaja in the paradise islands of Anambas was heart-breaking. But it turned out to be more difficult that we thought when the engine temperature on our sailboat began to soar. Hmmm... So what did we do first?
Are you a...
If you knew there had been a recent piracy attack where you were heading, would you keep your intended course and still set your sailboat towards that destination? Less than three weeks prior to our departure there was an attack with weapons on a commercial vessel slap bang in the middle of our rout...
Don’t believe the hype, sailing Channels are selling you a lie. Bottom line? The vast majority of cruisers are over 50 and do not post videos about their adventures. YouTube sailing channels are generally made by young fun-lovers, but most cruisers are 'old' freedom lovers.
We have met cr...

Goose wing, or wing on wing, what do you call it? We show you how we sail wing on wing using a polled-out genoa and prevented main (or mizzen). Just as we think this sailing life can't get any better a fierce squall hits as we sail into trouble inside a rocky anchorage. This is a desolate part ...
Just yer average life at anchor next to a tropical island: boat work, beach walking, beer drinking... using a hookah (that's hookah, not hooker!) for boat maintenance.
White beaches, gin-clear water and thriving coral fringe this green and lush island, while granite rocks straight out of a Hen...
Bluewater cruising on a sunny afternoon. Sit back and relax with us as we run with main and mizzen prevented in 12-15kts of wind and a slight rolling swell.
▪️ One take
▪️ No music, no talking heads, no commentary
▪️ Just ambient sound recorded around the sailboat.
▪️ Shot on GoPro Hero 7 in 4K.

Three or four metre waves hitting your sailboat beam-on doesn't always make for the most comfortable of overnight passages. But we were sailing, and that's what it's all about!
We left the comfort and shelter of Tiger Island (Pulau Macan) on a 180 nautical mile trip north-east to Pul...
We sailed in for a night and stayed for a week! The only difference between this pristine tropical island and a boat is that it's permanently anchored. And it has trees. And monitor lizards. But let's not get too picky about it...
Pulau Macan (aka 'Tiger Island') is a two hour h...
Did Liz catch any fish?? Come along for an hour and a half of open ocean sailing at the start of a 5 day sail to Borneo from Anambas. Wind 12-15kts from the NE, giving a nicely balanced close reach.
▪️ One take.
▪️ No music, just ambient sound recorded in various locations around the sailboat.

As we tried to leave Jakarta, something stopped us from being able to steer our sailboat, we couldn't move in reverse! What would YOU do?
Watch the video to find out what we did to discover the cause of the problem and how we sorted it.
Just a few miles north of Java there is a little bit of ...
How do you choose and install a BOAT FRIDGE? Ozefridge provide an unparalleled service direct to boat owners. We just bought one and filmed the installation as it happened. But has it lived up to expectations and would we recommend Ozefridge?
We explain:

It's polluted, noisy, over-crowded, the traffic is appalling and it's sinking: is there anything to like about Jakarta? We think so!
Jakarta was always in the plan when we set off to sail from one end of Sumatra to the other. As much as we love isolated places we also love to explore metr...
What is going on in the Java Sea? Illegal fishing. A sloppy-choppy swell. Chattering-clattering coming from our prop. Something really horrible in the water! Leaving Krakatoa and heading towards Jakarta hurtles us slap bang into civilisation and all that means...
The passage to Batavia Marina in Ja...
We anchored a mile from the smouldering remains of Anak Krakatoa. And one of us walked across the black sand to the lava flow of the recently decimated volcano.
In December 2018 Anak Krakatau, after erupting for months, boomed out one last explosion before crashing beneath the waves. The resulting...
