SAILING THE CARIBBEAN AND HURRICANE JULIA IS COMING - SwT 116 - SAD TO LEAVE SAN ANDRES

Sad to leave San Andres and all the beautiful people I would love to spend more time with. Unfortunately, I was right the tropical storm L91 turned into a hurricane. So the only thing to do was to wrap up my things and say see you later. Normally I never buddy sail as it's rarely a good idea. I learned a lot from this and gonna share this story in the next episode. However, need some more time to edit it together as I believe it's an important episode with some takeaways I wanna share with you guys. Not so much sailing in this episode but the next will be detailed about the challenges of escaping a hurricane together with another boat not even close to being sea-worthy and not a very competent crew. You can be the friendliest and nicest person, but the ocean don't care about that. What you sail and the respect of the elements is whats matters. I give you a lilte teaser at the end of this video exposing my frustration for the situation taking this boat and its crew under my wings. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!

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 4 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 for decades. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing ever since. Also, more than 10 years of experience as a captain in Search and Rescue at sea in Norway. PLEASE BE KIND IN THE COMMENTS! I like to consider my returning viewers as friends. Rude comments and bad behavior equals banning from this channel. I'm more in for quality viewers than volume. 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 might not work 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. I enjoy sharing my mistakes as well as my knowledge and experience without trying to teach you anything. Discussions around topics designs and sailing are always welcome. Personal attacks are from my perspective so low it qualifies for being kicked out of my Chanel permanently without warnings.
