It is nice watching intelligent people have a calm reflective chat about cruising.
🙏🙏
So glad to be one of your guide here in Tolitoli, we wish you come back to our town 😊
Terima kasih banyak atas bantuannya. kami mencintai Tolitoli dan kami mencintai orang-orang di sana. kami akan kembali!
I'm 83, sailed a lot when much younger, get terribly seasick and my skin doctor who makes a nice living cutting skin cancer off me tells me to stay out of the sun! So now I ride a bike and my mantra is based on a great line from the Tom Hanks movie, "Cast Away". Last great scene..."Left, right or straight ahead." I've done that a bit but just as in sailing, time constraints, the weather, road direction and conditions all sorta dictate where I'll go. But go, I shall continue to do. You both have been an inspiration for me for several years now so wherever you go, I'll follow. I'll leave the direction up to you. PS, if you ever get to the west coast of the US, down near Marina del Rey or King Harbor, I'll treat you to a good dinner and a bottle of wine...Cheers.
Hi Robert, and thank you for your lovely comment. Good to know you're still keeping active with the cycling. That's really important. I got my love of cycling from my parents who also still cycle. They're a little younger than you but still active. I hope I'm as active as you and them when I reach my senior years. Yes, skin cancer is always a worry. Now that we're back to sailing every day the first thing I do after putting the coffee on is to put the sun cream on. We wish you well and hope you continue to enjoy our adventures as we make our way south into unchartered territories. Hope one of those territories will be your neck of the woods one day 😃👍
Enjoy listening to your channel. I'm 62 and sail my 43' dutch built aluminum boat by myself. As long as your body is working 💪 keep moving and disregard the age. My hero is a 73 year old pirate ☠️ single hander.
Yep, agreed. We're aching from all this exercise after two years of sedentary living but our bodies and minds are loving it 👍
Another good 'un guys 👍🏻 Thanks for mention 😁🇬🇧⛵
Thank you for commenting!
Ppl who comment things like that are just jealous of your wonderful life youv created a wonderful life for two wonderful ppl ❤️
Thanks, that's sweet of you. We've learned to live with the detractors over the years. 😘 Liz
One of my favourate sayings in decision making/discussions is... I am very flexible , So long as you flex in my direction!!!😂🤣
That sounds familiar, Peter *glances over at Liz 😉
That a beuwtiful setting n lighting
& chatting.
I love your t-shirt & flamingo shorts /hair!
Thanks! It's not haute couture, but I like it. 😁 Liz
The pink hair has softened nicely and looks lovely!
Glad you approve... Liz
To me travel is all about exploration. I choose my adventures with an open mind not from reviews or even my own expectations.
Good on ya, Ryan 😃👍
My husband thinks that the vibration noise is from the log resting on the chain and the current is running through it. Liz love the hair colour, Australia did go through a faz not long ago with pink hair. I reckon go purple next. Cheers Georgie and Norm
Hi Georgie and Norm. A good guess but the sound disappeared after a while yet the log was still there in the morning. Also the log came from the other direction so it wouldn't have passed the boat first, otherwise I'd say this was a great theory!
Wonderfull podcast/podio again!
I am 52 years old and just signed on my first boat, a Leopard 40 on the Seychelles... i know... you dont like cats... lol.
Planning to sailing it via the Maledives to Thailand. Already talked to Jack a couple of times to berth the vessel in KBL Marina during the off season, when our plan is to go back to Europe to visit family
Best wishes to you John
Hey John. We know plenty of happy Leopard owners, so we won't hold it against you! Take your time in the Maldives if you can. The larger inhabited islands are worth visiting and if you can blag your way into a resort island it's worth it. Get in touch with them in advance to sell permission to anchor. Say hi to Jack for us. Lovely bloke, great family and excellent marina. We loved our time there and were well looked after.
@@followtheboat Thank you guys, will do so!
Deb and I 61 and 59 respectively have just put a Passport42 under contract. We love your podcasts and points of view. We are based in NZ as you know are are nervous as hell.
One thing is for sure we have not got pots of money but we are not going to slide into a rest home.
ISO 9001 Auditor and Building Control Consultant.
Great to hear. Good luck with it all! Liz 👌
I have travelled a lot of SE Asia by motorbike and have to say one of my favourite areas is Sulawesi closely tied with Flores
That's good to know. Flores is on the list for next time! Liz
Another great podcast Liz and Jamie. This is kind of a follow up on my last comment about me being a new sailor. I didn't mention before but, I'm 48 years old and as mentioned, bought my first sailboat 1 year ago. My initial plan was to buy a bigger boat later but, after listening several opinions, decided to buy a smaller boat sooner. I made that decision for two main reasons: First, this would be the learning platform where I could make some mistakes and learn from it. And second, was that I could enjoy the wonderful pleasures of sailing with friends and family. Now, in this podcast you focused a very important topic. The age. When I started to watch cruising youtube channels I was a bit ceptic whether I would be too old to follow my sailing dream. I must mention that my intention is to sail full time when I'm 55/56 so, I was always wondering if that would invalidate my plan. And, fortunately, persons like yourselves and others alike showed me it's absolutely fine (This sounds strange at it seems I'm saying you're old but, that's absolutely not the case ahah). This not only keeps my dream alive but, gives me the strengh to continue, since I still need a few years until I can untie the lines.
Fair winds,
Sailing Tulip
Hey Pedro, thanks for commenting again. Even in your fifties you'll be at the younger end of the age scale of the average yachtie. You have many years of happy sailing ahead of you!
Covid threw a monkey wrench in the whole world. Nobody should blame you for not being in Japan yet.
I am sorry to say that I am 59. That's not an apology. I just wish I was younger. I bought my first sailing dinghy when I was 22 and have been sailing increasingly larger boats since. My current boat is a 36 foot ketch which I hope to move aboard soon. I also bought a boat that has solid bones, but needed some work (which I am doing myself), and I am learning all the systems.
Brilliant! I hope you move on board soon and open a new chapter. 🙏👌 Liz
Turning 60 this year, caught the sailing bug from UA-cam. Scares my wife immensely as she has had bad trips on boats. She has sworn off of my sailing dreams, I long to try and become a costal cruiser. Reading and learning, praying for the future. No desire to sail alone or with anyone else. Love your relationship and travels. Thanks for sharing.
Join a sailing club and get your kicks that way? Or have a day sailor in a lovely marina somewhere... drinks on deck and the club bar might entice her? Then introduce the occasional day sail in gentle weather. Or get a catamaran! 😁 Liz
@@followtheboat Cat is going to be out of my price range. I am planning on getting ASA certified and moving near water when I retire. Praying for my wife's heart and trying to learn all I can. Thanks for the encouragement.
The best laid plans of mice and men
Well said 👍
I've travelled extensively over the years throughout Indonesia but never by sailing, presenting equipping my Nicholson31 for a June 2023 departure to Lombok with to date little sailing experience...I'll be learning by doing age 63 going on 49.
Nicholson 31? A classic! Sailing is the easy bit, it's the repairs and maintenance that are the challenge. 😁 You'll love this new way of travelling. Arriving new places (particularly towns) brings a different perspective. 🙏 Liz
Suddenly occurred to me when you brought up the Rum fund that i seem to remember you mentioned in passing in a previous episode that Jamie doesnt drink alcohol .. in which case presumably all the rum in the fund gets quaffed by Liz … which doesnt seem fair really !!!
Shhhhhh... Don't tell him. 🤓 Liz
Suddenly occurred to me when you mentioned the Rum fund that inseem to remember once you mentioning, in passing that Jamie doesn’t
I answered the full and finished comment further on... 😉 Liz
South Africa I need to take delivery of my $1 boar!
"$1 boar"? I guess that's a typo? If it's a $1 boat... Wow! 😁 Liz
You should visit the Rocky Mountains in the New Mexico Colorado area. It's beautiful but it is a bit rough on the bottom paint. :)
Sounds like something we might do..."offtheboat" 😁 Liz
I’ve heard there are certain fish that “Latch On” to other larger fish…If that sound occurs when yer moored, can ya try & put a Camera on the Hull? It may lead to a new Discovery…Ya can name this Creature “LizFish” or Whatever😜 Continue to Stay Safe & Enjoy😎
Hehehe. We've had plenty of remoras over the years, but they're pretty silent, in fact they'd probably eat the critters making that noise! Liz
You are quite right to put family first. What others think is a matter for them. Kind regards, two 21 year old, bikini-babe, beer-swilling yotties 🤣🤣
Haha! Just like us! 👙🍻🍾 Liz
So it’s not to late to pickup the wind and go at 55+... Looking at a 37’ full keel double ender, semi-project!
You'll be considered young in the cruising world! Go for it. 👌 Liz
Toli toli is name of regency in celebes, Indonesia.. It has more hidden gem
We love Tolitoli (the town) and hope to spend more time travelling the Regency. 🙏 Liz
Shrimp under the boat
Not shrimp, I don't think, unless they were gargantuan.
Could be geologic in nature, very active region.?
A nice guess, but not sure it fits here... 🤔 Liz
What was the moon cycle the night of the event?
Interesting, I don't remember. But we know the Earth and its critters are affected by the moon. Nice one! ,👌 Liz
Maybe show us some good sailboats for sale.... surely there are many that were abandoned over the past few years in indo.... the local people have excellent skills in woodworking and work Ethics that are another way to bring income to their beautiful islands....
There are boats all over Malaysia and Thailand for sale. Not so sure about Indonesia. You need somewhere to keep them... Liz
@@followtheboat Yeah, I get it.... but the same thinking in parts of southern Philippines created opportunities for small development of marinas and lodging with terrorists kidnapping and killing the (rich to them) foriegners. I would be interested in buying a fixer upper cheap and tag along with a small group of cruising folk.... letting the authorities know that we are wanting to pay a fair price for security and goods along the way.
That part of the world has always been well known for piracy etc. since the start of European colonization and the forced religious conversions. The area between Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines is well known for this sort of thing. BTW, Philippines has had one form of rebellion or another and these days, it’s both religious in the south and political in the north.
Yes, famous for its piracy. At the moment the threat to marine vessels comes from a combination of Abu Sayyaf and poverty in those far-flung Philippines islands. Liz
why not just sail back to the UK then go see family?
I think we might address this in our podcast, Jerome. Stay tuned!
So, how do you make God laugh?
Tell him your plans...
Best regards from a sixty year old armchair yachtie...
Oh yes, those bloody plans... 😁 Liz
Away form China and Russia.. so Australia would be fine .
Australia not on the cards, but never say never! Liz 😁👌
How's the mozzie situation, do the coils work, do you still have to draw the enclosures at dusk? Any no-see-ums like in west Sumatra? Please keep up the fantastic work!
Aha! We discussed this in great detail two or three podcasts back! Check the UA-cam playlist. Liz puts chapter titles in the description of every video.
@@followtheboat Found it! Suggest getting one of those racket zappers, nothing quite so satisfying as hearing the crack of a vaporized mossie. Here it's dengue you should worry about, not malaria. Fair winds.
