Sailboat Maintenance On Passage! | Casting Off with Followtheboat 08

When is the best time to tackle sailboat maintenance on passage? When something goes wrong! Recorded yesterday and uploaded today (10th March 2022) this week's Casting Off Podcast covers a lot of ground, including our first time sailing in remote Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) and some of the dangers that can bring. How long should you wait before mending things that go wrong at home or on your boat? We talk about this and how we deal with these challenges on a 1500 mile passage in such remote areas of the globe. And we discuss a recent event where, without that attention to detail, our friend's boat could have been lost... Now it's time for birthday cake on shore at friendly Tarakan. ☕ Support us on PATREON, FTBMates or the Rum Fund - https://followtheboat.com/pub/ 🍻 TWEET US!
