How we started sailing (the story so far) - Sailing Ep200
This is the story so far of how we started sailing. With extra footage and images of us you won't have seen before from way back in 2006 when we were getting to grips with our first sailboat. Watch us read our HORRIBLE comments at 21:21
From Turkey, the eastern Mediterranean, east Africa, through Pirate Alley, three years in India to sailing the Maldives, Malaysia, sailing Thailand and sailing Indonesia. (Jamie had hair! Liz wore a bikini!).
Thousands of miles, 100s of islands, 3 countries: we celebrate the last five years of sailing in our 200th episode. And we have a giggle about some of the worst comments we've received...
