Editing misery, lightning strikes, smoked fish, spearfishing lessons, and Gala’s first real test at **Plucky’s Finishing School**. 😄⛵🐟 In this episode of **Sailing into Freedom**, Gala gets thrown deeper into the cruising lifestyle — learning about spearfishing, buoyancy, fish identification, reef etiquette, and what actually happens after you land dinner. We’re joined by Darren and Crystal for a day on the water, cook freshly caught fish in the world’s dodgiest homemade smoker, and somehow turn dinner prep into a full anatomy lesson. There’s also a less glamorous update from life aboard: after being hit by lightning not once but twice, the boat has lost most of its lighting, and budget realities mean some repairs simply have to wait. If you enjoy **spearfishing, sailing life, liveaboard cooking, tropical cruising, crew training, fishing adventures, and the unfiltered reality of living on a boat**, this one has plenty of chaos, laughs, and useful lessons along the way. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #spearfishing #sailingvlog #boatlife #liveaboard #fishing #islandlife #cruisinglife #boatcooking Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode!

A new crew member, smoked fish, bad jokes, and the beginning of **Plucky’s Finishing School**. 😄⛵ In this episode of **Sailing into Freedom**, 19-year-old Galatia from Austria settles into life aboard and gets introduced to the slightly less polished side of cruising. We cook freshly caught fish, experiment with a homemade smoker, swap stories around the galley, and prepare Gala for her next challenge: learning to spearfish. There’s plenty of boat life, crew banter, island cooking, and the usual mix of questionable wisdom and practical survival skills. From finding shells on the beach to eating the best parts of the fish and figuring out who actually has to peel the potatoes, this is cruising life without the glossy filter. If you enjoy **sailing vlogs, young crew learning the ropes, spearfishing, fresh seafood, liveaboard cooking, and the funny everyday reality of life on a boat**, this one’s for you. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #sailingvlog #boatlife #liveaboard #spearfishing #crewlife #islandlife #freshfish #cruisinglife Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode!

New crew, close reef sailing, seasickness, fishing chaos, and a Yachtara launch update — this episode covers a lot of ground. ⛵🌊 In this episode of **Sailing into Freedom**, we welcome **Galatia from Austria** aboard and immediately put her through the unofficial crew initiation: steering, tacking, sailing close to the reef, learning the ropes, and discovering whether she has what it takes for a much bigger passage toward **Cuba and the Eastern Caribbean**. There’s also plenty of honest cruising reality — broken dinghy problems, crew selection, seasickness, anchoring, and figuring things out as we go. Meanwhile, Bart continues sailing through **northern Greece**, exploring Limnos, Mediterranean stern-to mooring, quiet harbors, fishing for Atlantic bonito, and giving another update on **Yachtara**, which is now approaching its public launch. If you enjoy **sailing adventures, new crew, bluewater cruising plans, Greece sailing, fishing, boat life, and marine technology**, this one gives you a mix of real-world cruising and what’s coming next. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #sailingvlog #boatlife #crewlife #bluewatercruising #sailinggreece #limnos #yachtara #liveaboard Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode!

The taxi mission is complete — but not before one last day of sailing, island life, coconuts, rum and classic **Sailing into Freedom** chaos. ⛵🌴 In this episode, we look back at Catalina’s time aboard: learning to sail, taking the helm, exploring remote tropical islands, helping with the fishing, and proving just how much difference great crew can make on a cruising boat. Then we sail into a busy anchorage, compare different cruising lifestyles, crack open some fresh coconuts, add a little rum, and enjoy the final tropical sunset before Catalina catches her water taxi and heads on her way. If you enjoy **sailing adventures, tropical islands, liveaboard life, cruising culture, sailing with crew, and the funny, unpredictable moments that make life at sea memorable**, this episode is for you. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #sailingvlog #boatlife #liveaboard #islandlife #tropicalislands #cruisinglife #sailingadventure #yachtlife Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode!

A new sailing app, a 50-nautical-mile passage through the Aegean, and finally some serious progress behind the scenes. In this episode of **Sailing into Freedom**, we introduce **Yachtara** — the new all-in-one marine app originally developed to support the Elcano World Challenge, but now growing into something designed for sailors everywhere. Bart takes Yachtara sailing in **Greece**, planning a passage from **Thasos to Limnos** aboard a Bavaria 44. We look at weather forecasting, route planning based on the boat’s polars, passage timing, maintenance management, crew information, offline access, anchor monitoring, manuals and the future development of AI-powered vessel telemetry. Then we put the route into practice with a beautiful Aegean passage, good winds, 6–8 knot sailing and even a swarm of unexpected hitchhiking bees miles offshore. If you’re interested in **sailing apps, weather routing, passage planning, marine technology, cruising Greece, boat maintenance and the future of smart sailing**, this episode gives you the first proper look at what Yachtara is becoming. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #yachtara #sailingapp #weatherrouting #passageplanning #sailinggreece #aegeansea #boatlife #marinetechnology Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode!

Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode! A battery safety design that fails its own test, a YouTuber facing a lawsuit, and technical specifications allegedly changed just before the legal complaint was filed. In this episode of Sailing into Freedom, we continue examining the controversy surrounding Bad & Born Batteries, Dragon.... Energy, and Will Prowse’s independent battery testing. We look at the disputed thermal failsafe, direct-short testing, melted terminals, loose internal connections, battery fires, and claims that the published maximum charge current was changed immediately before the lawsuit. Is this legitimate engineering, a defective safety system, or an attempt to silence an unfavorable reviewer? If you’re interested in LiFePO4 battery safety, Bad & Born Batteries, marine electrical systems, off-grid solar, battery testing, consumer protection, and engineering failures, this episode takes a detailed—and satirical—look at the evidence being discussed online. #sailingintofreedom #battlebornbatteries #dragonflyenergy #willprowse #lifepo4 #lithiumbattery #batterysafety #marinebattery #offgridsolar #engineering Get your Sailing Into Freedom Crew T-shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/sailing-into-freedom Want more?

Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode! More battery failures, questionable safety designs, and another deep dive into the Battle Born controversy. In this episode of **Sailing into Freedom**, we examine recent battery testing from Will Prowse, including severe capacity loss, dead cells, loose internal connections, failed thermal-disconnect tests, and concerns about how these batteries perform in high-vibration marine environments. We also break down Battle Born’s unusual thermal protection design, compare it with conventional fuses and published trip curves, and explain why battery capacity testing matters—especially on boats where weight, space, vibration, and reliability are critical. Meanwhile, work continues on the Elcano catamaran, although sensitive activity at the new factory means the cameras must stay away for now. If you’re interested in **LiFePO4 batteries, marine electrical systems, battery safety, Battle Born batteries, off-grid solar, electric boats, and real-world battery testing**, this episode provides plenty to consider before investing in a marine battery bank. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #lifepo4 #battlebornbatteries #lithiumbattery #marinebattery #batterytesting #boatbuilding #offgridsolar #electricalsystem Get your Sailing Into Freedom Crew T-shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/sailing-into-freedom Want more?

Beautiful islands, sailing lessons, beach exploration, and Catalina taking over the helm. In this episode of **Sailing into Freedom**, we continue cruising through tropical paradise while Catalina learns to sail, steers through reefs and boat traffic, and proves that some people really do prefer hand-steering over autopilot. Along the way, we hear about her off-road racing background in Chile, explore another remote island, enjoy a beach picnic, hunt for shells, and finish with more underwater action and spearfishing. If you enjoy **sailing adventures, island hopping, tropical cruising, sailing instruction, spearfishing, and the unfiltered reality of life on a yacht**, this episode has plenty to keep you entertained. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #sailingvlog #islandhopping #boatlife #liveaboard #spearfishing #tropicalislands #cruisinglife #learntosail Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode!

Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode! fill in Survey.yachtara.com Finally, real progress at the new factory. ⛵🔥 In this episode of Sailing into Freedom, I’m back from the yard with a proper update: the new builder and new project manager are on the case, the attention to detail is next level, and the boat is finally moving forward again — even if that means endless spreadsheets, measurements, plans and sweaty days in the brutal Vietnam heat and humidity. There’s also a look at the Elcano app Bart is building to support the project and, of course, more tropical sailing chaos with Catalina as we island-hop, learn the ropes, and squeeze in a bit of spearfishing along the way. If you’re into catamaran builds, sailing project updates, life in Vietnam, offshore cruising prep, and the real behind-the-scenes grind of getting a dream boat finished, this one’s for you. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #catamaran #boatbuilding #vietnamlife #sailingvlog #cruisinglife #liveaboard #spearfishing #elcanochallenge Get your Sailing Into Freedom Crew T-shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/sailing-into-freedom Want more?

A mystery mermaid, a demonetized channel, and then suddenly… a full-blown tech deep dive into the brains of the Elcano catamaran. Only on **Sailing into Freedom**. 😄⛵💻 In this episode, the tropical chaos continues with **Catalina** bringing sunshine, snorkelling and island energy to the boat, while **Bart steps in with a serious technical update** on the complex systems behind the project. We go inside the planned **navigation, power and monitoring setup** for the catamaran: Raymarine, Victron, RoyPow, NMEA2000/CAN bus, Raspberry Pi, Signal K, InfluxDB, dashboards, predictive energy monitoring and the push to build a smarter onboard observability system that gives a sailor real clarity instead of a pile of disconnected screens. If you enjoy **sailing adventures, catamaran technology, marine electronics, energy systems, liveaboard innovation, and the weird but wonderful contrast between tropical boat life and hardcore engineering**, this episode is for you.

A mystery girl from Chile, a “selfless” island taxi mission, tiny bikinis, spearfishing, and rumours of a crocodile in the shallows… just another perfectly normal episode of Sailing into Freedom. 😄⛵🐊🐟 In this episode, we finally meet Catalina, the Chilean sailor who needed a lift to a remote island before catching her shuttle to the airport. Naturally, I stepped in as the generous gentleman that I am. What follows is three days of tropical chaos: crystal-clear water, deserted sandbanks, snorkelling, island exploring, bikini modelling, cartwheel contests, and spearfishing in croc country where I’m trying to decide whether “big croc” is really something to worry about. If you enjoy sailing adventures, tropical islands, spearfishing, liveaboard chaos, and the slightly unhinged reality of helping strangers at sea, this one’s for you. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #sailingvlog #boatlife #spearfishing #islandlife #liveaboard #cruisinglife #tropicalisland Get your Sailing Into Freedom Crew T-shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/sailing-into-freedom Want more?

Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode! Real progress on the **catamaran build in Vietnam**, A sailing lesson, a “selfless” taxi ride for a damsel in distress, and then straight back into spearfishing chaos underwater. Classic **Sailing into Freedom**. 😄⛵🐟 In this episode, there’s finally some real progress on the **catamaran build in Vietnam**: all the imported gear has at last been moved to the new factory, hull 2 is underway, and the project may finally be back in motion after months of delays. But this is **Sailing into Freedom**, so serious boat updates quickly give way to teaching Catalina how to tack, threading a yacht through a tight channel, and plenty of Plucky’s usual “purely selfless” commentary along the way. Then we swap sails for a speargun, with coral patches, caves, groupers, and one extremely unlucky dog snapper making bad life choices. If you enjoy **sailing lessons, cruising life, boatbuilding progress, spearfishing, and the unfiltered comedy of life afloat**, this one’s for you. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #sailingvlog #catamaran #boatbuilding #spearfishing #cruisinglife #liveaboard #boatlife Get your Sailing Into Freedom Crew T-shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/sailing-into-freedom Want more?

Paragliding over the Italian Alps, hunting thermals, dodging sink, and very nearly turning a peaceful flying day into a mountain retrieval mission. 😅🪂🇮🇹 In this episode of Sailing into Freedom, we dive back into the archive for a stunning paragliding adventure in Italy. I’m chasing lift along the mountain range, reading the terrain, working weak thermals, and trying to decide whether the day is strong enough to push toward the Dolomites. Along the way there’s proper flying talk — thermals, inversion layers, rotor, ridge lift, crossing valleys low, scratching back up from the treetops — mixed with classic Plucky commentary, dodgy camera angles, roadside surprises, and the usual moments where everything feels either beautifully under control… or one step from disaster. If you’re into paragliding, adventure flying, cross-country soaring, mountain landscapes, and the raw reality of free flight when conditions aren’t quite good enough, this one’s for you. #paragliding #sailingintofreedom #freeflight #crosscountryflying #dolomites #italytravel #adventure #mountainflying #soaring Get your Sailing Into Freedom Crew T-shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/sailing-into-freedom Want more?

Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode! Light wind, heavy wipeouts, a camera strapped to the kite, and one very questionable decision after another… classic Sailing into Freedom. 😅🪁⛵ In this episode, I head back out for another kitesurf session in Vietnam, chasing waves in conditions that are just on the wrong side of powered. The wind keeps dropping right when I need it most, the kite stalls on the wave, and things get sketchy fast. There’s a raw look at how dangerous wave kiting can get when the power disappears, lines go slack, and you’re suddenly in the washing machine with surf, drag and zero margin for error. Of course, being Sailing into Freedom, I’ve also got a camera mounted on the kite, ignore my own advice not to crash it, and then proceed to absolutely send myself into the water hard enough to blow an eardrum and leave me wondering what else I may have broken. If you like kitesurfing action, wipeouts, real-world wave riding, and unfiltered commentary from someone who definitely should know better by now, this one’s for you. #kitesurfing #sailingintofreedom #kiteboarding #wavekiting #kitesurfcrash #extremesports #sailing #vietnam #actionvlog Get your Sailing Into Freedom Crew T-shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/sailing-into-freedom Want more?

Boat finally at the new yard, customs still dragging, and somehow we end up testing a gloriously dodgy kite-cam setup in 35-knot gusts. 😅⛵🪁 In this episode of Sailing into Freedom, I head out to the new factory on the edge of Saigon to check on hull 2 and the long-delayed imported gear that’s still trapped in paperwork limbo. It’s a huge moment seeing the boat in her new home at last – a peaceful, green shipyard surrounded by waterways and rice fields – and knowing the real work can finally restart. Then things go full Sailing into Freedom: I rig up a homemade kite camera mount, use a bit of beach foam and some quick maths to fix the camera angle, and immediately discover what happens when impatience, gusty wind and bad ideas meet offshore. There’s also a brutally honest take on GoPro vs DJI Osmo Action, based on actual use in kitesurfing and underwater filming – no fluff, just what failed and what worked. If you’re into catamaran builds, sailing vlogs, DIY boatyard problem-solving, kiteboarding camera setups, and real-world gear reviews from someone who actually abuses the equipment, this one’s for you. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #catamaran #boatbuilding #kitesurfing #actioncamera #gopro #djiosmo #sailingvlog #liveaboard Get your Sailing Into Freedom Crew T-shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/sailing-into-freedom Want more?
