    “Sailing is the most expensive way to travel for free”. Damn! That’s a tough Truth.

    Mate, you are a captain that I would be happy to be in charge of any boat I would find myself on. Good luck with your journey and thank you for none of the "sad faces" typical UA-camr content you see out there. You know your mission, capabilities, expectations of the gear you have, the weather and the ability to get through shit that happens without the need to expect people to "rescue" you. legend 👍

    Thomas, I love watching your videos. You gave me the courage to buy the bigger boat (Jeanneau 54DS) and I am so glad I did. I will be heading out from Florida sometime in December 2024. Still a lot of work ahead of me to get her ready, but your videos and many problems I have seen you overcome are a great motivator!

    I don't watch because of perfect video quality, I enjoy seeing what you are doing and experiencing. Broken equipment and other problems are daily adventures.
    A boat is the most expensive way to travel 4th class.
    Traveling by motorbike can be pretty cheap, a bicycle even cheaper but...

    Yes, I’m a romantic dreamer and I’m going sailing, doing UA-cam videos as well. This is very helpful to get some understanding in where not to go and what to prioritise. 👌🏼
    Thnx my friend 🙏🏼

    I think your positive outlook is what matters the most. I’ve seen to many people let the negative affect their paradigm. Keep it up, imho I really in joy watching, and living vicariously through your experiences until I also will be out there…. Getting really close/ 1-2 years max😊. Fair winds and smooth sailing 🍻👍Florida USA

    Hei Thomas. Siden jeg produserer nyrestein i stor stil så passer kystseiling best hjemme i Norge ( Finnmark ).
    Istedet for en masse elektrisk vas ombord så er det mere smertestillende nødmedisin ombord her 😂
    Æ syns det e vanvittig mye elsaker i båter i dag - bekymringsfullt mye 😎
    Du er en tøffing! Vh Inge

    Hi Thomas, I've been following both you and Windhippy Holly for around three years now. I have the feeling that you have had far more problems and slower progress with your large high tech boat compared to Holly with her old, small, minimal tech boat. Is this a fair assessment ?

    • @SailingwithThomas
      @SailingwithThomas  7 місяців тому +1

      Hi there and thank you for being following for such long time. It’s definitely more maintenance on a bigger yacht. However the progress in terms of sailing I’m far ahead of Holly now if you count nautical miles. Remember I was left behind on the Caribbean side when the canal closed for pandemic. I waited two years for the pacific to re open.
      So it’s not so fair to compare. Also I terms of boat speed it’s not fair to compare either, as BE FREE average 2-3 times faster. In reality BE FREE have sailed more miles last Year alone than her last 3 years In total. So it’s really not easy to compare In any terms. Im gonna spend quite some time In Indonesia so Im sure she’s gonna catch up.
      All the best
