▶ Check out my gear on Kit: https://kit.com/followtheboat Trying to find a place to anchor near reefs which don't appear on your navigation chart is fraught with danger and means sailing by eyeball only! Once safe, we added a few annotations to Navionics to help the next people who come to these remote deserted islands. Sailing and provisioning is high up on any sailor's list of priorities, so we needed to find people. After weeks far from any settlements in the Anambas our fresh food was running low, so we were relieved when Google Earth showed us there was a small town nearby. There was no name, just buildings along the coastline, and it didn't appear on the chart or any of our navigation devices, but it was definitely there. Laden proved to be a fertile provisioning ground, so we stocked up! After a gift of fresh mango, we headed off to our next island playground in the direction of Moon Rock Bay... 💖 If you enjoy or have even learned something from our videos, please LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE to our channel! 🥂JOIN PATREON & TELL US WHERE TO GO NEXT! https://www.patreon.com/followtheboat *************************************** 🛒 FOLLOWTHEBOAT SHOP: https://followtheboat.com/shop *************************************** 🕮 E-BOOKS: HOW TO BECOME A LIVEABOARD CRUISER!

Is it possible that you could give Goolge Map for Google Earth Coordinates for you VOGS. I am so sorry to ask, 'cause it's more work. However, when you are in a group of islands in Indonesia, which is often, Following the Boat, Esper, on the map, is not always easy. You show such beautiful and interesting places, I like to find them on the e-maps and zoom in to your locations to get more informations.
I continue to be impressed by your dedication to your viewers, by producing such wonderful mature, even scholarly, material. We are dedicated Vlog watchers. I am also in awe of your writing, videography, drone piloting talents, as well as emotional openness in front of the camera. You've added much to our retirement years. Thank you, again, Richard in Lutz, Fl. USA.
On another note... we were thinking of you this past Saturday. Kim and I replaced the gear case of our Quick windlass. Poor Kim, had to get into the chain locker and work the spanners, while I was on deck, supplying support and keeping the bolts and wrenches from going overboard (one did, we lost our 10mm combination wrench), but the dirty deed was done! What a wonderful feeling, when we started the windlass and quickly and efficiently brought back on board the 200' of chain and 100' of nylon rode...my back was singing halleluja! So, yes, you guys were in our minds, remembering the episode of the changing of the windlass...thank goodness we didn't have to replace the whole thing...yet! We also had to replace our LPG solenoid, which had gone the way of the Earth, and also replaced all hoses since we had everything apart. Now we can bake bread again and have a cup of hot whatever, whenever....no more toaster oven and microwave for us!
