SAILING WITH THE PERFECT SETUP FOR A FUN LIFE - SwT 114 - THE SOCIAL SIDE OF BE FREE

It's not always boat work and sailing! Sometimes it's just time to be social a bit crazy and has some fun. And while trying to remake the lost episode about how to understand a mass production yacht I'm now showing you the social side of BE FREE. Unfortunately, some individuals with access to a keyboard and wifi can not behave so I had to block quite a lot of accounts before uploading this re-made episode again. One of the reasons I wanted a fairly new boat was to not spend all the time between sailing only doing maintenance and upgrades. BE FREE certainly has delivered as a pretty trouble-free boat taking into consideration the number of miles sailed and years of the full-time liveaboard. Also, I might be among the most social solo sailor out here on the seven seas and enjoy spending time with new and old friends. It's quite amazing how quickly it's possible to establish a social network even on a tiny island where the minority speaks English. But then again Columbians are among the sweetest and friendliest people you can encounter and The BE FREE bar always delivers. I believe you need time to understand a new destination's culture and people and what's going on under the surface. Making local friends is the fastest way to this and also enriches your stay on so many levels. I'm also saying see you later to the Sophisticated Lady crew but will soon meet up again in Bocas Del Toro - Panama. Meanwhile, I hope to have my MackBook rescued but don't have too high hopes after it was drenched in water. The costs of running a youtube channel are sometimes almost making me question why I'm doing this. 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 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.
