      Oh! I now see this is a year old, so you have probably done much more. Cheers to you!!

      Yes! My latest video is a start of a new serie. It is about the adventures I have had the last year from haul out in Guatemala until problems with sailing in COVID times and finally arrival in Panama!

    Ah, very cool! I also sail under Dutch flag, although I’m not Dutch myself. All the best to you, impressive sailing such a big boat singlehanded!

    you are awesome! 53ft is a lot of boat to singlehand! i presume you are from The Netherlands, i am now giving my first steps singlehanding a Fellowship 28 around the Markermeer and IJsselmeer, and I already find that tough sometimes, but you show me that it's possible to do much more. Following your channel now! Fair winds to you Carin!

    • @FOOTLOOSEsailing

      Thank you Jaime Paiva! A 28 footer is a good boat to start with. I know my boat so well that I decided to keep on sailing with her even that I am sailing single handedly.The biggest challenge for me can you see in my third video.

    Awesome! Definitely a new subscriber here and following along on your adventure. You make me think I will be okay single-handing my 34' sailboat, without too many problems (although I did get an autopilot installed), here on the Chesapeake Bay in MD. Do you plan on getting an autopilot installed?

    • @FOOTLOOSEsailing
      @FOOTLOOSEsailing  5 лет назад

      Hi Natalie, thank you for your reaction! I am planning to install an autopilot however it is not my priority right now. I am trying to keep the boat as simple as possible.

    What language did you speak when you talked to the Cuban officials? Do you speak Spanish? Do they speak Dutch?

    • @FOOTLOOSEsailing
      @FOOTLOOSEsailing  3 года назад

      Hi Rob, it is all Spanish but I think they speak English as well.

      Hi PG I am sailing around the world. During my first 1000NM solo sailing I have been building up the length of my trips as you can see in my following video's.

    • @FOOTLOOSEsailing
      @FOOTLOOSEsailing  5 лет назад

      When I am alone at sea I speak dutch however the video's will be more and more in English as well.
