What does it cost to sail around the world? We ans What does it cost to sail around the world? We answer the question we get asked the most in the latest episode (link in profile). After sailing and cruising full time since 2006, we're ready to share our costs and spending tips to help you plan your cruising budget. • • • #sailing #sailboat #OysterYachts #OysterAdventures #SailingWorld #sailingbudget # #sailingaroundtheworld #sailingadventure #InstaSailing #sailingday #sailingpassion #sailingtime #bluewatersailing #oyster435 #smoothsailing #sailingandcruising #bestadventure #goseetheworld #gosailing
Turtle Islands (Pulau Silingan) are doing fantasti Turtle Islands (Pulau Silingan) are doing fantastic work. The collaboration between Sabah and the Philippines means thousands of hatchlings have a better chance of survival from egg to sea. We watched a mama lay 81 eggs, then a basketful of babies being released. So far this year they've collected, nurtured and released 250,000 turtles! Hooray for some positive news. 🙏😁 @sabahtourism • • • #sailing #sailboat #OysterYachts #OysterAdventures #SailingWorld #SailingYacht #sailingaroundtheworld #sailingadventure #InstaSailing #sailingday #sailingpassion #sailingtime #bluewatersailing #oyster435 #smoothsailing #sailingandcruising #bestadventure #goseetheworld #gosailing #turtles
Look at those teeth! Jumped straight out of the wa Look at those teeth! Jumped straight out of the water when Liz snagged it, back-flips all over the place. Bloody exhilarating. "Jamie, you'll need the gloves!" We put it back because we're not fond of barracuda meat and he was too big, anyway. Bring on the Spanish mackerel, dorado and tuna.

Esper, one of six sailboats rounding northern Saba Esper, one of six sailboats rounding northern Sabah, on night watch till 1am. We all have AIS and VHF on 24/7. There's a night curfew on most marine traffic in this area so anything that moves, especially if it's fast, is suspicious. This isn't the most dangerous part of our passage in the pirate waters between Malaysia and the Philippines, that's yet to come. In fact we're anchored by a small town with screeching wildlife coming from the mangroves and screeching locals attempting karaoke. Our military escort from ESSCOM is close by on alert, so if we sense danger we'll call them immediately. We're able to repeat our radar in night mode on our phones while the other boats sleep. Watch finishes 01:00, then up anchor tomorrow at 06:30... • • • #sailing #sailboat #OysterYachts #OysterAdventures #SailingWorld #SailingYacht #sailingaroundtheworld #sailingadventure #InstaSailing #sailingday #sailingpassion #sailingtime #bluewatersailing #oyster435 #smoothsailing #sailingandcruising #bestadventure #goseetheworld #gosailing
