STORM DODGING IN THE MALACCA STRAIT Ep 79
Storms and night sailing in the world's busiest shipping lane gets the adrenaline going in this week's video. And entering the anchorage through a criss-cross of channels and wall-to-wall ships at anchor really kept us on our toes! In this episode, we mak...
SEA GYPSIES, SCRUBBERS & SCHOONERS Ep 47
From naughty girls in binikis to some local culture, this is the last of our episodes from beautiful Koh Phayam. We cover a lot of ground this week. Highlight is learning about the Moken, the original sea gypsies of Thailand. We also sail a 99ft schooner, ...

Brigand Swells

Nautical Shower, Atlantic Ocean

A Bloody Death
Many dorado were caught on our Atlantic crossing and this is us bagging our first catch. It's a tiddler but it puts up a bloody fight. The fish is caught by Rich whilst Tim stains his shorts. Clip contains naughty swear words. [] www.followtheboat.co...

The Middle Of Nowhere, Atlantic Ocean
This clip was recorded in 2003 and taken when we had reached exactly half-way across the Atlantic Ocean. The sunset was incredible and I was completely blown away by the idea of being as far away from land as I'd ever been in my life. This is apparent in m...
First Single-Handed Sailing Trip
Just to prove that I'd done it, I recorded the moment I got the third sail up on my tod. As I say in the clip it may only have been 4 knots and the fenders were still out but it was quite an achievement for someone who has only been sailing for two years. ...
Celebrating England’s World Cup Win, Mid-Atlantic
