We've started our 1200 mile passage from Lombok to Malaysia, and are so excited to be back sailing again! This is a live real-time update from the cockpit (and deck!) of SY Esper. We hope to do more of these as we make progress along this interesting voyage.

Love seeing your boat! Maybe you’ve done this in the past and I missed it, but I’m always interested in details of how other people’s boats are laid out and organized. All those mundane details-how the cockpit enclosure works, how you manage storage, how you make coffee, how you handle watchkeeping-might seem boring to you after so many years of cruising, but they are very interesting and informative to those who don’t know anything about the lifestyle and to those of us who are preparing for our own cruising adventures.

@followtheboat 27 күн бұрын

Thanks for the comment. We have covered all these over the last ten years of videos, but there is no reason why we can't visit them again because they'd make great content for the podcast. Thank you for the idea, we'll follow up on this.

179th LIKE (already 957 views) by the time getting around to watching this with working audio. If you're gonna be doing documentary-style episodes, I hope you will remember to include generous amounts of drone footage of the areas you are visiting, with some narration of what's being shown.

@gogogaga7441 26 күн бұрын

Agreed about the format; I get tired of watching folks doing daily chores while facing the camera, bitching about the heat or some other nonsense. I want to learn about what to expect while sailing, either about running the sailboat itself or the destinations, and you two are gold!

Delightful podcast! You guys are a joy to follow. I've been watching a certain boat (2 hulls) making passage down the east coast of peninsular Malaysia (only because I know that coastline like the back of my hand) and good lord! Never heard so much whining and moaning and "big heads". And complaining about locals, procuring fuel and sloppy seastates and wah wah wahhhh. Harden the fark up buttercup. Un-follow. But in delicious contrast, you two always seem to extract some benefit or learning from every single experience and walk away from things in cheerful reflection, even if it all didn't go smoothly. Love it! Cheers from SY Miss Foxy, Singapore.

@followtheboat 27 күн бұрын

Every passage is an adventure and there's always something positive to be had from it. Even the shitty ones are a time for reflection, like the time we rounded Lombok last year when I just wanted to step off the boat! But the locals are always the highlight, there should be no reason to complain. I think we've run into one crappy official once in our twelve or so years in SE Asia. Everyone else is a delight and, as you know, there's always something to be had from the anchorages and land-based adventures.

You can do both do the current journey with some cut backs as it fits in by way of explains things or reminiscences. I’ve just done my first on board welding, adding a support brace for an internal bracket to support the new removable inner fore stay I decided to add with my re rigg. Getting ready for my relocation from the Netherlands to Australia kicking off in August.

I see that you are in Lovina, a favourite anchorage with yachties. Just up the coast is Banyuwedang, one of the best natural harbours in SE Asia. Very protected and safe. We stopped there for several days. Beyond there and across the Bali Strait is Banyuwangi. A very friendly well set up marina with all the facilities needed by yachties (haul out, stores, international restaurant/yacht club, fuel etc). We found this facility to exceed those avaliable in Lombok or Bali. Enjoy your sail, we plan to go south to Malaysia in the new year so our paths may cross. Terry & Louise - Miss Saigon.

Wind moving great more, also just showing what you do as you are moving is nice. So when sailing put a camera up. Rough or smooth. We all need to see truth not butts and more butts. Plus more fishing bait lures line do you use wire traces.
