Come and have a chat…

We’re two Brits on a sailboat travelling the wrong way around the world since 2006. We haven’t got very far because we keep finding fascinating people and places. There is no plan. If we make you laugh, inspire you or teach you something, then our work hasn’t been a total waste of time.
You will never see boring endorsements, promotions or sponsorship in our videos or across social media. (YouTube won’t promote us unless we allow them to run ads, so we’re stuck with those, but we try to keep them to a minium. Sigh.) 🙄🤨

If you like what we do, but can’t afford to sponsor us, don’t worry, ALL our content is FREE! If you want to show your appreciation, then give us a like and subscribe anywhere you see our work. And by leaving us a comment, we LOVE hearing from you.

We focus on people and places in our blog and on our sailing channel. Sailing is, for us, a means to travel and to unearth some of the more out-of-the-way local communities. Places that can only be accessed properly with your own boat.

With followtheboat there’s no fakery, titillation or sensationalism. We let you in on all our secrets as we take you with us on this joyful travel and cruising lark.

Join us in the pub for a drink, it’s our round! 😀🥂

People from around the world are backing followtheboat through Patreon and FTBMates, helping us to deliver quality content and remain sponsor-free. $2 a month gets you into our incredible crew of fantastic mates.

💬 Or Join our DISCORD community (it’s FREE)! We chat about all things sailing, travel, photography and FTB. If you’ve got a question, DISCORD is the place to leave it.

Peace and fair winds!

Liz and Jamie xx
