Real life problems that you encounter on the ocean. It is not always sun and sandy beaches with umbrellas in our cocktails but that is why we enjoy the three of you so much. This was Ep.99 next is Ep100 will there be fireworks and dancing girls?

Andrew Keir - 6 years ago

Great video as always

Sailing Baylana - 6 years ago

looks terrifying.

Andy - 6 years ago

Awww that's a shame

Andy - 6 years ago

Ooo, so u are controlled by the weather , quiet a lot then.... Does sound rather complex..take care.... Where in the uk are u visiting ????

Sailing followtheboat - 6 years ago

Yes, the weather is king on a sailboat! We'll be posting a video on passage planning soon, and go into more detail. Plans to head back to the UK for a quick visit are on hold. Liz

Peg White - 6 years ago

Very enjoyable and scary at the same time. You always have the best music!

Phyllis Stacy - 6 years ago

Very frightening. Glad you made it safely.

Clay Farnet - 6 years ago

Great video. One question, do you have a fuel polisher or do you use fuel treatments to clean the low quality diesel that can contain contaminants, moisture and bacteria build up in the fuel? Thanks again. No storms...fair winds! :)

Riccardo Sorreca - 6 years ago

Hi guys, as i can see the adventure is going on. Anyway, my dear Jamie, what is that orrible thing you have on your leg? How did it come out? Did you check recently your immune system? It is always useful to do it. Another thig to say, completely different, i found youg blogs, photos (wonderful) about your passage from Suez canal, Red sea and Aden on the 2010 very interesting and very well done. Thanks for all the informations you gave. Take care! fair wind el venesian

Jaime Pando - 6 years ago

I loved the cinematography combined with what sounded like a Coltrane piece. Loved it!

Gogs - 6 years ago

Great video, good to see Millie is still on board and hopefully forgiven, although she did look a bit sheepish in the shot where you put the dressing on then cut to her.

Frank Rice - 6 years ago

Great camera shots thank you for taking us along

Trevor Ward - 6 years ago

Very polished episode, the new intro is awesome.

Prof. Michael O. Zeee JCD ECS - 6 years ago

Another interesting video, thanks.... Water-maker membrane, NO SPARE???

craig me - 6 years ago

Looking foward to the complex planning process. Should be interesting.

And avoiding pirates, sounds like a good idea too...Aaaar.

Jeff C. - 6 years ago

What was the glass building in the background during the credits of episode 99? It looks like a museum or a display of famous boats. Very similar to the display of the M/V Gran Ma in Havana Cuba.

jjaus - 6 years ago

What an beautiful marina! If I had to go to one, that's the template.

Sailing followtheboat - 6 years ago

The surrounding area, with all that wildlife is simply stunning. Sadly, it has been let go a bit, so it's a little on the grubby side, but it is a lovely place. Cheers! Liz

manuck spontool - 6 years ago

nice piano at the start

S/V Thirteen Winds - 6 years ago

You guys are now the "Guide" for what to do in that region! Excellent as always! Thumbs up!

SV Cintana - 6 years ago

Stayed at Sebana Cove last year. Nice spot but it is far from amenities. The hotel does a shopping run for people. Puteri has a marina but it is pricey with tourist bars. Malacca on the other hand has a deserted marina which I think the pilot books will say is under repair or not dredged but that is not quite accurate. If you anchor to the starboard side as you enter there is depth. At low tide we were we sounded 1.8m, more at the beginning of the marina, shore front. Cheap and walking distance to the old town and loads to explore and good security. Not the amenities of Sebana but a lot more to do and explore if you are there for any length of time.
You guys refer to India quite a bit. I am interested in sailing there. Do you have any diaries/reflections of your time there? Keep up the good work - Sean

JustBanter - 6 years ago

What a lovely lovely lady Lizz is - no one could ask for a better shipmate eh Jamie?! I'll bet there's never a dull moment with such a bubbly personality on-board; Obviously extremely competent too.
Liz kinda reminds me of Suzie from that other great sailing channel 'Emerald Steel' (only with a bit more fizz! lol), the quintessential matriarch oozing with sailing experience

Dan Peace - 6 years ago

Thanks for all the details. Really enjoyed this one.

David Ascher - 6 years ago

Love my weekly fixes of FTB! Any sentimental connection to that orange polo shirt Jamie? If not, I'd send it to the bottom of the pile in favor of the custom made "pajama tops."

Bob Fomenko - 6 years ago

I think a hard dodger is a great decision. My next boat will have one. Many I have seen are to small and some with no ventilation... will be looking forward to your design.

Brian Swanland - 6 years ago

Looking forward to your planning video. I'm particularly interested in the timing to go to Japan and how you work through it. I'm sure it will be awesome.

John Beskow - 6 years ago

PS I love the Axel Rose look, woman power !!!!!!!!

Urban Deployment - 6 years ago

You're running away from rain, but perfectly fine with vampires hanging in trees? To quote Captain Jack Sparrow. You need to get your priorities straight mate. HA!

John Thorogood - 6 years ago

Sailing in the rain... the first 15 minutes are exhilarating, after that its just cold and crap!

While you are at the mercy of the weather, as long as you are not forced to move you can just sit. That seems key - don't get your arm behind your back...

scott brian - 6 years ago

I use a pair of double lens ski goggles when i'm in the rain/wind sailing.otherwise that blinds me being out in it. Just wonderful sailing video once again!thanks so much.do you have a mailing address I could send you a care package out where you are sailing . maybe japan port?

grakkerful - 6 years ago

Just put on a dive mask.

Allyn Onderdonk - 6 years ago

Millie cat doesn't mind having rope on top of her...I guess resting is more important than what is going on around her!!

Marcia Andre - 6 years ago

Great video as usual. One of my favorite ways to watch is with google maps open while I follow along your route. Sometimes it's hard to find the places you mention, so I would love, love, love captions as you go along just naming the places. At least those places that are a little more obscure. Looking forward to your route planning video very much. Also love to see provisioning details. You guys are amazing, and continue to elevate the quality of your videos. Thank you!!!

Marcia Andre - 6 years ago

Ah - missed those coordinates - very helpful - thank you LIz!

john wheeler - 6 years ago

Your leg looks messy, try if you can homapathy, it worked for my wife following surgery arnica 5ch, 2grms/3times per day during 10 days, it will help with the Healing. bonne vents

jjaus - 6 years ago

Snake oil peddling on a sailing channel.

william marsh - 6 years ago

Thanks

Ed Rymes - 6 years ago

So, cruising isn't all sunshine and lollipops after all. Still love living your adventures all be it vicariously. There is nothing like that feeling you get out on the water surrounded by nasty weather and safe harbour so very far away.
That marina at the end of the video looks pretty posh. Not too shabby a place to provision and rest up. Take care, eh.

michael collins - 6 years ago

bad leg piss on it

Sailing followtheboat - 6 years ago

Antibiotics did the trick...

furriephillips - 6 years ago

My sister got an infected mosquito bite, which had to be lanced by a doctor (I was roped-in, to hold her to the bed, as he did it). She now tells anyone who asks about the round scar, that she was shot, during a post office robbery. eyeroll

John Beskow - 6 years ago

At least with jerry cans you don't get a full tank of bad diesel if you use a filter ?

design of modern life - 6 years ago

jerrycan workout yay :0)

Sailing followtheboat - 6 years ago

Had a few of those!

Prankishsquire - 6 years ago

"Keepin it real". Love you guys! Your Japan expedition is an awesome project, Fair Winds, and strong Wifi

mobiltec - 6 years ago

This is when an indoor steering station would be much more comfy. The hard dodger will help a lot...

Sailing followtheboat - 6 years ago

Haha! Tell me about it. Can't wait to be dry in the rain! ✌️ Liz

Norman Boyes - 6 years ago

Great production - told the story very well indeed. That Marina you pulled into looked fab and pretty well protected too. Ye gods that leg is a trifle scabby Jamie!!

Coop W - 6 years ago

You need to get some cannabis oil on that leg Jamie before it rots off. a wet day sailing is better than a dry day at work any time. Millie is lookin pretty chill did you take her out to chase them bats. Great vid guys. peace and be safe out there.

Don B. - 6 years ago

The way you walked us through your storm avoidance decision making process is very much appreciated. I'm looking forward to hearing how you plan a passage.

Cigarmann - 6 years ago

A storm coming up from he rear always terrified me more than going into one....

Ruud Hw - 6 years ago

Nice video. Can see the improvement in the editing. Would be quite interesting to see how you do your planning.
Smooth seas and fair winds

Wynn Roberts - 6 years ago

Ruud Hw Honey is good too.
I was in Somalia, Yemen, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda (with Amin), and visited many others African countries. In the sub continent, East and West Pakistan as well as many extended visits from Hong Kong to Singapore. More recently Saudi, Gulf States, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. My taste for different foods has built throughout my life. I even like Dutch food now that you have influences from the likes of Thailand, Indonesia and Suriname. Love your country and people, years of competitive hockey brought that opportunity. Goed om verhalen te ruilen. Prost!

Wynn Roberts - 6 years ago

Ruud Hw thanks Ruud. I love to cook too. Turmeric works just fine as an antiseptic, always used it on Safari, in the absence of anything better. War time field dressings used it as well. Lived in Africa and India most of my early life but my ancestry is Welsh.

Wynn Roberts - 6 years ago

Ruud Hw Turmeric, I think.

Stuart Norris - 6 years ago

Thanks for this video, I was only looking today as a newbie on what to look for on the apps when it comes to wind patterns. How do you work it all out moving from on to a longer passage? Obviously you have to do it all safely so what's the most knots your yacht can handle and what's the least wind you have until you start motoring? Great vid, thanks

todd sim - 6 years ago

Put some cannabis oil on the wound, it will heal it right up!

Florida Scot - 6 years ago

thanks Liz and Jamie - lots of regrets here that Millie is also unable to get a visa for Oz..

David Chandley - 6 years ago

Everyone bitches about the weather,, but no one ever does anything about it ............. lol,, great video guys,,, Cheers

Sailing followtheboat - 6 years ago

We're building a hard dodger to keep the nasty stuff out of the cockpit! Liz

yellowbenchmovie - 6 years ago

I love the rain drops that crash on the camera lens ... I watched the movie full screen and for a moment I was sitting in the stern ... thanks. Danny

Sailing followtheboat - 6 years ago

The storms looked and sounded evil, but the wind and waves could have been a lot worse, so we were lucky. Millie duly tickled! ✌️ Liz
