SAILING THROUGH PIRATE WATERS - SwT 138 - VISITING TABOGA FIXING THINGS IN AN EXOTIC LOCATION

In this episode we share some hints about anchoring in Panama, our experience at the Pacific side and even take you with us to Isla Taboga. Unfortunately there have recently been some brutal encounters between sailors and pirates in Panama again. Already to episodes outside Las Perlas and one at the Caribbean side. This is very sad and hopefully the authorities of Panama once again put focus on this and have it ended before it escalates to levels like three years ago. As normal there is always something to fix on a sailboat and the saying sailing is fixing things in exotic locations have never been more spot on. Isla Taboga is a positive surprise just outside Panama City, and we are waiting a few days to have our parts made for an upgrade at the auto pilot setup. Our goal is to make everything ready for our long passage and then use some days to just relax and rest before we start the longest sail ever. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!

I used to sail singlehanded and occasionally have sailing friends onboard. But now the permanent crew aboard BE FREE is including Gee from Holland. We are now exploring the pacific ocean. 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.
