    The best Panama canal transit seen on YT. Superb editing, no frills explanations and clarity about the procedure for those seeing it for the first time. Well done.

      Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a very special moment after all the problems and challenges last 3 years. But now it’s not only my lifelong dreams ahead but even a person onboard sharing this adventure having the same dream. That’s definitely epic and sometimes I ask myself what’s the odds in life for that? Cheers from BE FREE 🍻

    Thomas, please can you tell me who your agent in Panama was. He did you a good service from what I see. I would use him when in get to Panama 2024.
    Perhaps add details like these in the descriptions. Good contacts in any new port are always really helpful.

    • @SailingwithThomas
      @SailingwithThomas  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Det er alltid vanskelig å se størrelsen på en båt før man får noen referansepunkter. I Karibia er BE FREE relativt beskjeden, men hadde den ligget ved brygga i Tønsberg ville den nok fått oppmerksomhet. 40 fotere blir små ved siden av. Men rart hva en blir vant med... Hadde det ikke vært for driftskostnadene skulle jeg gjerne hatt 10-15 fot større🤣 Sånn er det bare... Cheers fra BE FREE 🍻

      Thank you so much for watching and your kind words. Yes our plans are nonstop sailing Panamá to Marquises in Polynesia. Skipping the overpriced Galapagos as it’s now just a all inclusive charter island anyway. To much hassle with Zertifikates of anti fouling, chemical bombing inside, and much more. Topped up with ridiculous fees and strict anchor rules... To me it’s a joke and obvious they don’t want sailors to visit. Galapagos is turning it’s islands into an umbrella island, and lost its magic to me.
      So many other places just as interesting if not more. All the best and cheers 🍻

      Thank you so much for watching and for being here. Our route is not fixed yet as weather conditions will pretty much dictate if we choose a southern or northern route.
      Earlier I was thinking of leaving BE FREE in Ecuador and visit Galapagos as a tourist from there. It’s to expensive and to much hassle to bring BE FREE in to Galapagos.
      If we choose the northern route it will be nonstop to Polynesia. Cheers 🍻

    Congrats, that was fun to watch!
    When your rafted up with the other two sailboats, is it only the centre boat providing engine power and steering?

    • @SailingwithThomas
      @SailingwithThomas  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you so much for watching and for your good question. It was a combination. Mostly powered by BE FREE but the buddy boats rafted up had their engines running so I could ask for assisted power when needed. The Center boat is in charge. All the best and cheers 🍻

      Thank you so much for watching and your questions as well. I started sailing dinghy as 7 years old, and kept on with bigger and bigger ever since. Basically being sailing my entire life both pleasure and racing. Several seasons solo sailing in the Mediterranean before buying BE FREE early 2018. She is a 2012 mod and I started my full time sailing solo with this boat. All the best and cheers from BE FREE 🍻

      Ha ha🤣 Who knows but hopfully not as much struggle. I’m actually looking forward to the Indian Ocean experience as well. Now as it looks like Suez Canal is safe we might take this route back into the Mediterranean. This is something I was hoping for when I left the Med 5 years ago.

    Really love following you Thomas BUT your faces are mostly in shade because of your hats.
    My kindly suggestion is to get a light or maybe just a different setting on your cameras that allow better brightness and resolution on your faces. Cheers, Greg

    • @SailingwithThomas
      @SailingwithThomas  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes this doesn’t come cheap! I have mentioned a few times in different episodes that the era of shoestring budgets on small boats are unfortunately over. Increased fees everywhere, anchor fees and national park taxes. Clearing in/out costs anything between 10-500$ so far. Agent fees for countries with complicated paperwork and the list goes on... Marinas demanding insurance... Yes it’s totally nuts! Hence the fact we are skipping the Galapagos. Sailing is the most expensive way of travelling for free, and probably the hardest and most expensive way to run a TH-cam channel as well.
