We have had many sailors ask us about our COB prevention method on Voyageur 10.10. It is quite difficult to describe accurately so me made this video. We did it at the dock because of the difficulty to film it properly while underway. The most important design feature of our system is that you cannot go overboard and impact the water even if you tried. Many people head out on their boats with a false sense of security. Their jackline/tether system will keep them attached to the boat, however will let them go overboard. Being dragged through the water next to a jostling boat, even a slow speed, will lead to your drowning very quickly. You will wish that you weren't attached, and desperately try to release yourself, defeating the whole purpose of wearing the tether. It takes some time and effort to come up with a system that works, but it may save your life one day, as our system has saved mine.

With the weather set to make a change for the worse we start making a move back southwards. First step, a pleasant sail back to Burnham once again making use of teh short cut through the Ray channel a) because Its a nice place to stop but more importantly b) its the nearest marina to the Medway, with just the Thames in between.

It is now two days since the accident. Yesterday Jamie and Alicia made some initial inquiries at the police station in Phiphi town centre. They left expecting nothing more of it but when they returned to Esper. Liz had already received a telephone call from the officer in charge. We were invited back the following morning for a meeting with, apparently, the skipper of the barge that had rammed Esper...(con't below) ****************************** Be one of the good guys: https://www.patreon.com/followtheboat Be the first to know: http://eepurl.com/B9Ykn Subscribe to our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=spannerheadz Blog: http://www.followtheboat.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/followtheboat Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/followtheboat ****************************** Once again Jamie and Alicia hunt down a longtail from the north east corner where we are anchored, and take the picturesque trip around the northern tip of the island and down into the northern bay that is too shallow for decent anchoring. After five cups of coffee our translator, nickname Wat, arrives. An agreement has been made with the skipper of the boat. He will pay five installments over five months and put down a down-payment. Satisfied with our agreement with the skipper it is time to weigh anchor and head south. In this little clip, recorded as we head down the east side of Phiphi, Jamie explains that we are now sailing in flotilla, with American and Alicia on Synchronicity behind us. We monitor two channels on the VHF, the usual Ch16 and also channel zero eight so we can communicate between each other. Jamie also makes the important point that, despite our initial visit to PhiPhi in the busy southern anchorage of Ton Sai Bay, and despite the events of the last couple of days, Phiphi is still a stunningly spectacular island. Although the town centre caters solely for tourists and is busy with clubs, pubs and bars, there's no getting away from its sheer beauty. On the way Liz indulges in one of her favourite fruits, the mangosteen. Our next destination is a group of islands called Koh Hah Yai which, translated, means five islands. These five pinacles jut vertically from the sea some miles from land. It was a bit hit and miss as to whether we'd make the 20 mile journey before sundown. Normally this isn't a problem if the islands offered large sandy bays in which to anchor, but the pilot guide specifically states that there is nowhere to anchor here. We were to pick up moorings instead, but now that we're in the transitional period, which side of the islands would be best? And would we get there in time to even find the moorings as the light faded? We did a quick recce of the eastern side of the islands and decided to head for the middle island. American went ahead and took the inside mooring buoy whilst we took one a little further out. Hanging off a mooring so close to rock is a little unsettling but once we had settled in we took in the sunset and the small island next to us known as floating island. Night time. We're hanging off a mooring on the east side in the hope that the prevailing winds stay from the west but during the night with Esper's bow so close to Floating Island a storm brews. Could this change the direction of the wind and put us in danger of hitting the coral beneath or the rocks above? ****************************** 00:00 'Jungle Fever' by DL Sounds http://www.dl-sounds.com 00:45 - Followtheboat's theme music: 'Suddenly' by Otis McDonald https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y66Dh5lx4qY 11:11 - 'Listen' by Tryad https://tryad.bandcamp.com/

While I prefer to rig the silks on the boat, the conditions don't always allow it. Good news is, though, all you need is a backpack and a tree!

Draken is being reinforced and prepared for her voyage from Norway to America 2016. In order to cross the North Atlantic Ocean safely, important improvements are that the hull side is raised, keel bolts drilled and the deck is coming up one layer. #expeditionamerica2016
