Back in 2003, recovering from bronchitis, burned out, and taking a Christmas break with friends in Antigua, I met Jamie. One thing led to another, and two years later we had a sailboat, a website and a plan.

We sailed Esper from Turkey across the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea, then across the Arabian Sea to India.
We loved India, and made life-long friends there.
Three years later, we were in the Maldives trying to head west, but being blown east into the Indian Ocean.
One thing you learn on a boat is never to fight the weather. We headed to Thailand.
And pretty much since 2013 have lived, sailed, travelled and explored in Southeast Asia. We tell the story of followtheboat in videos on our YouTube channel.
