After ten years since their last podcast, Liz and Jamie are back with banter from the cockpit! followtheboat is one of the oldest and biggest personal sailing blogs, documenting the adventures of Jamie, Liz and Millie the Cat aboard their boat, s/y Esper. They have a growing youtube channel with 60,000 subscribers, but their foray into audio/visual content started with their podcasts. These audio delights covered their passage from Turkey to India, taking in Egypt, Eritrea, Sudan, Yemen and Oman. These were treacherous waters, not least because the passage was made when piracy was at its most dangerous. Listen to pirate attacks, VHF radio broadcasts, interviews with characters, cultural affairs, fair winds and ocean crossings.

When I first started watching there were 3 characters Liz, Milly and Jaime. Fine crew fine boat let the sea sickness begin. Now I’m listening.

Best podcast ever!!!!

I LOVE the format of the podcast!! It makes me feel like I’m actually a part of the conversation!! The flow back and forth on the topics keeps you interested, anticipating the next little piece of knowledge that will be gained. The balance between the podcast and the YouTube channel is perfect. And Jamie…. The back ground noise is fantastic!!! It really does make me feel I’m there with you. And Liz…. You ARE loud enough that I can here your conversation over ANY of the boats going by. I Love it! Thank you for all of your hard work!!!
