I will try again to reach my goal of sailing to Indonesia for cyclone season.
Join me on this amazing adventure as I leave Vanuatu and set sail for Indonesia on a 2500 nautical mile nonstop journey. Some say it is crazy some say it's impossible. I say it is doable with modern yacht and technology, knowledge, and a good strategy. In this series of 3 episodes, I am sharing my strategies and how I am executing this challenging sail. Several challenges in sailing such long distances during the South Pacific cyclone season, from Vanuatu to Indonesia. The obvious one is of course cyclones, but light winds and changing winds are just as big a challenge.
Thank you so much for tagging along, and for the patron's support in making this video possible.

Sailing around the world in a Bavaria 55 Cruiser, making videos whenever we have time for it.
Even though this is season 6 on YouTube I did not make that many videos in the beginning. Before full-time sailing, I sailed several seasons in the Mediterranean prior to, 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.

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.
Sailing solo into the Worlds second busiest shipping lane at night, after a 1300 nautical miles nonstop solo sail from Martinique to Panama. After 2 years of waiting, I'm back in Shelter Bay Marina again. I'm sharing the last hours of my sail and also some of the things around entering busy shipping lanes and communication with the traffic control. Even though I normally don't anchor at night I felt confident enough to do so outside of Shelter Bay as I have been there so many times and know the place pretty well.

Delayed with pleasure and learning about rig inspections on Catamarans.
Crossing oceans is not a human right, it costs money. If you cant afford maintenance and running costs you should not do it. Safety is important and rig inspection is a big part of the safety aspect. I have said you can cross oceans in almost anything. I still stand behind this however it should be classed for all oceans and in good condition. I could buy a bigger yacht but would not be able to keep up with running costs. So my point in this video is to show you the importance of rig inspection no matter if your boat is new or old. Big or small. There is no such a thing as my boat is built the old fashion strong way. Any boat no matters the year it built, brand, or makes it still requires maintenance and rig inspection. I'm sorry to be so brutally honest but it's the truth.
I also show you some daily stuff as normal and having waffles and taco with my friend Hanna. I'm delayed with my own rigging but there is good news!

Any skipper can do a mistake!
It's how you deal with it that defines you as a skipper. I have seen a lot being here and it's not like I try to make fun of someone else mistake. It's meant as something to think about especially when arriving at a busy harbor, bay, or anchorage.
Things are not always as it appears and classic mistakes in eyeball navigation piloting are easily done. It has been a lot of catamarans hitting the reefs here. Why it appears like only catamarans hitting the reefs here might have an explanation but a wild guess is the most popular rental.
Sometimes it has been so predictable like I was just expecting it to happen and took my phone up to film it as an example. I would never dare to talk about this topic myself if it was not for the fact I have done lots of mistakes and hopefully learned from them myself. I have also been on the other side and assisted a three-digit number of boats taking in water after groundings and accidents. So would say I have some experience in what should be done and not. Just pretending nothing happened is not a good strategy or decision. This action and examples were too precise and good not to be shared even risking being mistaken for making fun of others. I'm a sailor and making fun of other sailors is bad karma. Using it as an example to learn from it is in my opinion different.

In this episode, I'm opening season 3
The weather predictions and navigation warnings were promising high seas and strong winds.
I wanted to go sailing to test my boat and gear as I love sailing in strong wind. Such a long time since I had really good sailing because normally the wind is not that great in the Caribbean. The last time something similar to the conditions back home or in Europe was when beating my way from Panama to Martinique.
Living in Grenada has been such a blessing not only because it's the friendliest people in the whole Caribbean, but also a covid free bubble for a long time. Did lots of sailing on different yachts, explored the island, and made tons of new friends. But now it's time to start sailing!
Everything I do and has done last months is more or less preparing for my Pacific crossing.

Breaking out of routines is doing something thats not in your schedule. Even as a sailor, life can easily become routine with a constant feeling of something you need to do. I sometimes need a bit changes in scenery and experience. Happy to have Kylie back as she also enjoys doing something different now and then. Im waiting for my sails and other stuff to arrive, and my friend had no time for exploring before Christmas. So now we took the opportunity to do something about it.

This is a great example in why I normally don't do buddy sailing. Underway I discovered more and more problems not only with their boat but also the crew. This is a serious video with no script or acting only sharing the reality. The oceans don’t care if you’re a nice or sympathetic person, it threatens everyone the same. And disrespectful approach to oceans will cost your life. The aftermath from this sailing was pretty chocking to me. Owner of the boat I assisted don’t have money to keep up with maintenance making sure the boat is seaworthy. And the captains lack of understanding his responsibility and safety for his crew and himself is seriously questionable. On the boat side engine was not working properly, meaning they could not go above 1000rpm. No broadcasting AIS and no instruments working. No radar. A VHF only working 2,5NM when it should work at least 20NM. No satellite phone or modem for communication. Navigation lights not suitable for open water. No maps on the navigation systems only iPhone and the list goes on. On the crew side that should realised this is not a seaworthy boat leaving a marina late before a hurricane with no Jerry cans for extra diesel and already low on diesel. No sailing skills and obviously not understanding the incoming dangers.
My mistake was to believe a boat used for comercial charter would not only have competent crew but also a seaworthy boat. Their original plan was sailing to Cartagena in Columbia via Linton Bay in Panama. When showing them the weather and also the predictions for thunderstorms they asked to buddy sail with me to Bocas. Assuming they where at least capable of 5 kts and also willing to work hard to follow my route being the ones asking for permission to sail along with me. Meaning I had to delay my departure with one day, and even delayed this limit with almost one more day.
I have not shared everything here but I’m serious when saying this boat and it’s crew is an Desaster waiting to happen. All the ingredients for going totally wrong with a different outcome was here. If I had not pushed them so hard to get out of the hurricane zone they would been at the worst possible position and situation when Julia grew to a Hurricane. One of the two sailboats staying behind left next morning only 12-14 hours later. Meaning he was pretty close to us when I went back for my buddy boat telling them now it’s serious. His story is strong telling about the crazy weather destroying his sails on a big well maintained yacht, only hours behind us.
So I have my reasons also based on my decades of experience to believe this story could get a different outcome. Some luck that the hurricane did not form 10-15 hours earlier and grew a bit more. And the fact I did not give up on this hopeless crew. Nor the owner or it’s crew ever realised or understand this situation or the potential outcome. Some boats and sailors should stop

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.
Kylie and I are enjoying the moment even though we have work to do in the Marina.
We take time to go on adventures in Grenada, hiking to a waterfall.
Both of us are going to sail out the pacific later and are preparing our boats continuously for our future big crossing.

I'm so thankful for being able to visit amazing places like this and Fiji is definitely high up on my list so far in the entire Pacific. In fact, I'm questioning myself if I spent too much time in Polynesia. The friendliest people so far, and such serene and beautiful nature. And absolutely cruiser-friendly. I believe the local guy is right, and I could feel his worries for the future. I know the neighboring island also belonging to Fiji where most tourist goes is relatively destroyed by mass tourism.

A DIFFERENT WAY OF COMMUNICATION is my way of looking at the important stuff in a humorous way. My intention is to share my communication strategy and it might not be what you think.
I don't give advice or telling you what to or not to. Only sharing what and how I do things
And as normal I am sailing my own way not dictated by the masses in how to or what to. I share my experience and how I look at things.
What very few are telling you about is the true Achilles heel of the Iridium GO solution.
And honestly, I don't think Iridium GO will exist 5 years from now. At least not in the form and price as of today because that's just not realistic. Tech and price will outrun this solution pretty soon.
But hey you still find sailors with only SSB radio onboard.... so who knows!
I belive Starlink soon will change the way we see things in communication also as a sailor.
If you wonder about how EPIRB and other safety things like PLB and SRT works I have also made an express explanation for you as this is also part of my communication strategy onboard BE FREE even though these things also fit into the safety topic.
Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy this video!

In this video, I´m still in Martinique and doing boat work social style. This Island is now almost back in business, and the only challenge now is the hurricane season is getting close. I have made my decision on where to sail next, and also future plans. But of course, like a true sailor, all this is written in the sand on low tide and could be changed without further notice.
The biggest project this week is adding a secondary Raymarine autopilot system and lots of other things. My friend Øyvind is sewing on his bimini and Harald has some smaller projects going on. We also made time for a grand guided tour on this island with the lovely Norwegian Hanna who lives here.

Sailing with my friends from Gibraltar into the Atlantic ocean towards Tenerife. Not much wind on this passage but we had lots of fun and amazing weather. We were not expecting the Atlantic ocean to be so calm even though the swells now and then were enormous. Again my gennaker ended in the ocean and we had to check the rig when we arrived at the canary island Tenerife.

In this episode I°m waking up early in the morning with a weird feeling of something wrong. My sixth sense woke me up and found out I was dragging from the mooring ball.
Also sharing some sceneries from Sandy island.
Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy this video!

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I'm trying to sail around the world in my Bavaria 55 Cruiser, making videos whenever I have time for it. 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 3 on youtube I have already sailed 4 seasons full time but 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 also been an active regatta sailor. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and been sailing ever since.
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 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.
3 Weeks of hard work here in Shelter Bay Marina in Panama sorting out my electrical problems and even upgrading my power storage to 17,5 kwh. If this is a new world record for express refit upgrades and rebuilds after a lightning strike I don't know. But being in Panama things takes time and to have all this done by myself this fast with everything I needed is more than I ever could dream about. It feels like a miracle that something bigger than me is taking good care of me. Still, a few things to sort out, and my radar system is still not back up and running. Nevertheless, I'm really thankful and happy to have come this far in such a short time. If you wonder why I have been so quiet on all platforms lately, this is the reason. Staying in a marina is expensive and just had to be hard in prioritizing my time and energy. This is not a how-to video but more about sharing my way of thinking and problem-solving. Also not in detail wiring but focusing on the challenges I faced when planning and proceeding with my upgrade.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!
