We have a fantastic community of Followtheboat Mates who support us on PATREON and through the RUM FUND. Their generosity has enabled us to upgrade and add to our camera equipment, and to purchase better laptops and sound gear, as well as some of the best editing software available. This incredible support is now being directed towards helping us prepare for our BIG ADVENTURE east, across 7,500 miles of ocean to the Pacific North West! 🙏 SUPPORT US THROUGH THE RUM FUND http://followtheboat.com/THANKS/ 🙏 SUPPORT US ON PATREON https://www.patreon.com/followtheboat Without your encouragement we would not be producing regular videos or be able to continue to push and stretch our imaginations, both in terms of creativity and sailing to new destinations. Thank you, friends!
