A clip to accompany our blog post on sailing from the Maldives to Malaysia. This was a 1500 mile crossing of two halves. Here Liz inadvertently catches a bird on the end of her lure. We rescued him and he looks a bit perplexed, but it has a happy ending. Y...
Island Hideaway is paradise on earth. There, I've said it. What was supposed to be a quick two-day stop-over turned into a five day mini-break as Liz and I indulged ourselves in the seven-star luxury facilities at the island of Dhonakulhi, in the northern ...
We were visited by a news crew yesterday. Apparently, in our absence over the summer, they had come down to cover a story on Nazer, the man who looks after Millie The Cat when we are in the UK. They returned for a follow-up so sometime soon you should see ...
Liz Cleere is an award-winning travel writer. This is an exclusive animated version of one of her travel tales, set on a train journey in West Bengal, India, which she wrote for MyWanderlust travel website. Like all of Liz's writing, this is a true story.

It's a bit early but the storms have started brewing over Cochin. I remember two years ago when we sailed from Goa to Cochin having to motor straight through some nasty weather and seeing lightning like you see in this video clip. Around the one minute mar...
This is an audio podcast revamped for youtube, accompanied by random photographs depicting Fort Cochin, the subject for this week's show.
It is the first in a new series of our travels and adventures as we explore the huge subcontinent of India. If you mi...
This video was put together to help anyone with a Pacific Plus self-steering mechanism that has seized due to non-use. We'd left ours open to the elements of monsoon south India and had not used it for 18 months. Consequently the Teflon bearings has seized...

Judging by the positive response from the last video clip we thought we'd post up another one for your titillati...
It's been 18 months since we did any boat maintenance, what with our land-based travels taking over. Having made the decision to get off our asses we're left with a HUGE list of essential jobs on the boat. I won't bore you with the details but I will show ...
A little clip of elephants and monkeys in Jaipur. This accompanies our blog posts on our travels around Rajasthan. This blog post is published on 16th june, 2011.
Taken as we were walking past a tourist coach. A troop of monkeys had managed to break into the coach and were helping themselves to food. Meanwhile a couple of monkies on the roof try a bit of hows-your-father.
This clip is part of our account of Kodai...

Some great video footage taken by Liz strapped to a parasailer and edited for Susann of Ilios Yacht Charter. For those interested the following boats are: 'Ilios' with the yellow Camel sails, for whom the video was made, Thomas's 'Viva Solo' with the yello...
We helped deliver Rama (now called Thea) from Turkey to Malta. Check out the inside of this classic 1968 motor boat. She is quite possibly the most beautiful floating gin palace ever designed!
Taken after lashing the video cam to the granny bars and getting some good shots of us working as a team, tacking twice in six minutes (I know it's six minutes cos that's how long the clip is).

As every sailor knows, fresh water is worth its weight in gold, which is why someone had the bright idea of using an oncoming squall to take a quick shower.
Pity poor old Dobby who was at the helm at the time. By the time he had covered himself in soap ...
You've seen this clip many times on nature programmes I guess but here is evidence that sailors are frequently accompanied by sea life. Shortly before this clip one of these pilot whales was jumping clean out of the water vertically. An impressive sight si...
When we returned to Antigua we stayed at Birdhouse, which overlooks the main harbour. Just check out the view and the size of those yachts!

We took quite a few clips of our trip from Cascais, Portugal to Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, though most are too big to optimise for the web. This one, however, best captures the crew relaxing whilst we bobbed up and down those Atlantic swells.
Johnny on...

This still makes me laugh out loud when I watch this. I dunno what Johnny was doing but he was making good use of those municipal bikes we hired for the day in Cascais, Portugal.
