Jamie has just had a ten-page article published in Jamie has just had a ten-page article published in the @royalphotographicsociety Travel magazine! This features some of his favourite travel and street photography and coincides with our latest podcast, all about stills photography in our videos, where we talk more about street and travel photography. Check it out on our YouTube channel or find it on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you get your podcasts. Look for 'Casting Off'. #streetphotography #travelphotography #royalphotographicsociety
Sometimes we forget why we chose to travel the wor Sometimes we forget why we chose to travel the world on a sailboat in the first place. Then we come across somewhere like Pulau Banta, a haven of tranquillity in the madness. Located between the tourist hotspot of Bali to the west and busy Komodo National Park to the east, Pulau Banta is an uninhabited paradise, where wildlife is left alone to flourish. Watch the video, linked in profile. #sailing #travelbyboat #indonesia #komodo #volcano #caldera
When do you know it's time for a change? Have you When do you know it's time for a change? Have you ever wanted to completely quit? And, is changing the same as quitting, or is it better to think of it as a new challenge? We discuss these questions and the whole subject in this week's video-podcast. We've been sailing and travelling for 17 years, maybe it's finally time for a new adventure... but if that's true, what should we do next? Latest video podcast linked in bio. . . . #timeforchange #newchallenge #readytoquit #sailing #sailingandcruising #podcast
We are sailing in the Sunda Arc, which means activ We are sailing in the Sunda Arc, which means active volcanoes. And, as part of the Pacific 'Ring of Fire', this area is constantly on the move with seismic rumblings appearing on our Earthquake app most days. We don't notice them when sailing, but you can often feel the earth shaking when you go ashore... Yes, there is fear, but like the people who live here, you learn to put it out of your mind. In our latest episode we take you along the northern coast of seldom-visited Sumbawa Island. Look for the sailing channel or latest episode in our profile... #sailing #volcanoes #earthquakes #ringoffire #sunda #sumbawa
Jamie's on land in the UK; Liz is on the boat in I Jamie's on land in the UK; Liz is on the boat in Indonesia. Jamie misses Indonesia; Liz misses the UK. Is the grass always greener on the other side of the fence? With 8000 miles between us, we are surprised to discover what we each miss. And what we consider to be 'home'. (And how important food is to both of us). 😃🍍🍓🥕 Listen wherever you get your podcasts, search for Casting Off With Followtheboat. Or watch the recording on our channel (link in bio) #traveladdict #homesick #sailing #podcast
We were invited to take a class at a remote fishin We were invited to take a class at a remote fishing village on Sumbawa, one of Indonesia's lesser known islands. It was fun, and the children were bright as buttons. Then we sailed to Satonda, a donut-shaped volcano with little protection, but worth the gamble... Find out more in this week's episode, linked in our bio. Peace and fair winds! #satonda #sumbawa #indonesia #sailing #sailboat #sailingchannel #sailingaroundtheworld
Did you hear? We're splitting up. Seventeen years Did you hear? We're splitting up. Seventeen years together on the boat, and now Jamie's off... Check out the latest video podcast on our channel (or listen wherever you get your podcasts). BUT before you plough in, take a careful look at the episode title... We'll put a link in the comments on FB, and if you're seeing this on Insta, click the link in our bio. Peace and fair winds, friends! #sailing #homewardbound #sailinglife #videopodcast #podcast
Jamie spent five days documenting the sparse life Jamie spent five days documenting the sparse life of Indonesia's fishing communities. We've spent years dodging the 'bagan' fishing platforms that litter the coast, so it was a real privilege to learn how they work first-hand.

Bet you can't guess where we made our fastest bord Bet you can't guess where we made our fastest border crossing? How about the slowest? Then there's the time we were cleared in by a man on a bicycle. And we'll never forget the fella in white flowing gowns who took a few dollars and allowed us to go anywhere and stay as long as we liked... If you've ever wondered how cruisers travel between countries on a sailboat, we spill the beans and tell some yarns in this guide to crossing borders. Look for the full video podcast on our sailing channel (link in bio). Or listen to the episode wherever you get your podcasts. Peace and fair winds!
