Показать описание
In this episode Im sharing some news with you that will change my planned Pacific crossing. The transit fee is paid and the transit is finally scheduled and we do have a date. After quite some time with Gee onboard Im happy to share with you guys she is joining me onboard BE FREE for the pacific without any timeframe. This could be the beginning of the end as a solo sailor for me. Who knows what the future brings but after several months of thinking I found out I did not wanna be alone in the pacific.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!

You can also follow sailing with Thomas on other platforms for almost daily updated pics and videos, and even find yourself a new T-Shirt:

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I`m sailing around the world in my Bavaria 55 Cruiser, making videos whenever I have time for it. Most of the time I sail singlehanded but occasionally I do have sailing friends onboard. Still in the Caribbean due to Covid and was supposed to be in Asia by now.

Even though this is season 5 on youtube I did not make that many videos in the beginning. Before full-time sailing, I have sailed several seasons in the Med prior to this, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I have been traveling the world before and have also been an active regatta sailor. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing ever since. Also, more than 10 years of experience in Search and Rescue at sea in Norway.

PLEASE BE KIND IN THE COMMENTS!
I'm just a normal person sharing my travel adventure through my eyes and experience from my perspective! Remember how I do things that might work for me but not for you. It might even not be the correct way to do things, and I don't have the blueprint either. I'm not perfect and nobody is. The day I believe I know it all and don't think I can learn new things I should go ashore.

Hi, Thomas! Interesting seeing all of the various sailing vessels and how the designs for cruising sailboats have evolved over the years. Glad to know that you'll have Gee onboard for the upcoming Pacific passage -- looking forward to your canal crossing! Fair winds!

The intrepid single-hander, circumnavigating in a 26' homebuilt might soon fade off into legend only. The big cats are taking over.

That was a great idea to show all the different sizes and brands of sailboats!I found that very interesting and the way you presented it all was fun to watch 👍

Super interesting views of the different boat designs. And ironic that the catamaran type is coming home to the Pacific

Hi Thomas. Thanks for the look see, my takeaway is my Plan B Route to the Pacific, through the Med to to The Suez Canal, is rapidly shifting towards being Plan A, if the Rebate Discounts for the Suez Canal continue to be very Tempting for Shallow Draft Monohulls of reasonable sub 50ft length and decent displacement. Lots of nice places to hang around waiting for Transit Special Offers to show up too, from Refreshing my drink of Return in NW Spain Galicia, farewell to family in Andalucia, and a return to Italy where I saw Naples and Died and an overdue promise to return to the islands around Capri, etc etc. Best Wishes for a Great Canal Transit, Fair Winds, and maybe see you in the Pacific Somewhere. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

It’s your turn to have fun & be free…. I’m looking forward to seeing your next adventures. I know many people who either got hurricane damaged or bought them from Charter Companies, but nearly all of them were Lagoons for some reason.

Thanks for this, hope you enjoyed the canal, I was there this time last year so it is fun to revisit the place with you. I hope you enjoyed the monkeys and birds, and the pool.

Great video! Hey you missed a good one on your walkthrough. At 4:13 it looks an awful lot like a GunBoat 68 with metallic ice blue hulls peeking out on the opposite dock. Hope your transit of the canal goes smooth 👍
