[S03E01] We’re so excited to launch our new weekly video podcasts. Podcasts are in our DNA, like all sailors and cruisers we love ’em!
SIX QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN SIX DAYS!
Do locals just consider yachties as tourists? What happens when you want to quit being a liveaboard, and why would you do it? What’s it like sailing with kids? These and more questions were answered over one week on youtube.
We lost our cat overboard!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll no doubt have heard that we lost Millie overboard. In our latest vlog we cover off the story. We’ve changed things around a bit on the video front. The editing is faster and we’re trying to engage more with our viewers by answering questions and covering off topics that you might find interesting. If you have any questions about being a cruiser, or about anything else for that matter, please do send us a message and we’ll try our best to answer it in a future episode.
How we became ocean cruisers
How/when/why did we end up living this alternative, slightly crazy life? It will be 10 years in December. Blimey!
Esper rammed and an American comes to the rescue!
We started to look on the bright side. We were insured. We were floating. The Portabote–swinging from the new davits–had taken most of the impact, acting like a large fender. If we had been hit anywhere other than the stern, Esper could have just started her life as Phi Phi Don’s new wreck dive.
FTB Sailing Interview #03 | Matt Matson | s/y Aventura
” …all the stuff people are interested: the car you drive; the money in the bank; the cell phone you have. I’ve traded experiences for things. I don’t do a lot of things…” Next up in our series of interviews with sailors, commissioned specially for our Patreon supporters, is Matt Matson of s/y Aventura. A candid chat about life as a liveaboard, leaving old lifestyles behind, changing, fear… and Muslims. This is a special video feature for our Patreon supporters who get to see this clip a day before it goes public, just like all our FTB video blog posts.
