CHALLENGES YOU DON’T THINK OF- SwT 185 - IT IS ALWAYS A SOLUTION

- Some of the hardest tasks can sometimes be to stay positive even though how much is thrown at you. I share some thoughts and reflections and even the reality what it sometimes means being on more remote places. East Timor dont have any sail loft and its now way to have my sails repaired here, so Im starting to prepare my sail to Bali. But first I need to have a solution to my computer problems as my iMac is dead and my Mac book is having serious issues as well. Not the best timing but I managed to find a solution being able to upload new episodes to youtube.
Timor Leste is such a different nation in many ways, and I am tempted to call it for Portonesia as its a fusion of Portuguese and Indonesian culture, food and heritage.
Thank you so much for tagging along, and for the patron's support in making this video possible.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I'm a sailor with a RUclips channel and not a RUclipsr. Sailing around the world in a Bavaria 55 Cruiser mostly solo, making videos whenever we have time for it.
Comfortable at sea with 4 decades of sailing experience and hundreds of thousands of miles behind me.
Even though this is season 6 on RUclips I did not make that many videos in the beginning, and obviously not from my entire sailing life. Before full-time sailing 6 years ago, I sailed several seasons in the Mediterranean, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing and racing ever since. Also, more than 10 years of experience as a captain in Search and Rescue at sea in Norway.
Mate, you are a captain that I would be happy to be in charge of any boat I would find myself on. Good luck with your journey and thank you for none of the "sad faces" typical RUclipsr content you see out there. You know your mission, capabilities, expectations of the gear you have, the weather and the ability to get through shit that happens without the need to expect people to "rescue" you. legend 👍
Would love to see more of Timor
One of my favorite channels. Good luck with your challenges!
Blessings to your journey. It’s a highlight to watch your weekly videos. I am glad you have solved your computer challenges. Fair winds and following seas. ❤
Thank you for all the effort in producing these videos of your journey. Always great to see the great places you are in and to share the trials and tribulations of your sailing journey. Take care.
Thomas, I love watching your videos. You gave me the courage to buy the bigger boat (Jeanneau 54DS) and I am so glad I did. I will be heading out from Florida sometime in December 2024. Still a lot of work ahead of me to get her ready, but your videos and many problems I have seen you overcome are a great motivator!
What an honest video, sharing the challenges of sailing! Thanks for sharing and not selling cheap Chinese knives!
No retreat..No surrender! Not easy, but worth while. Thank you for your effort
Yes, I’m a romantic dreamer and I’m going sailing, doing RUclips videos as well. This is very helpful to get some understanding in where not to go and what to prioritise. 👌🏼
Thnx my friend 🙏🏼
I don't watch because of perfect video quality, I enjoy seeing what you are doing and experiencing. Broken equipment and other problems are daily adventures.
A boat is the most expensive way to travel 4th class.
Traveling by motorbike can be pretty cheap, a bicycle even cheaper but...
Thank you, Thomas!
Takk for enda en super episode! Utrolig hvordan du fikser så jæ... mange ulike problemer! 🙂
Unfortunately together with development expansion at small countries follow also negative things. Mcdonalds and Burger Kings for example. Thank you for the video Thomas. You show also the other side of the coin of the sailing life dream
Great film Thomas, safe trip and hope all is well. Thailand from Bali is very easy on budget airlines, could hit the lofts there and they would help get it to closest tax efficient port. or just stick in plane and bring back your 'used' sails as excess luggage...
Always an awesome update. Thanks T and Be Free
Again a nice video Thomas.
Good to see you could repair your PC. And your subscribers are going up, unfortunately way to slowly.
Have a good trip to Bali ⛵️🏝️
What a happy slice of ham and cheese after this battle. East Timor will stay in your heart!
Thomas, you are amazing! I thought l was resourceful till l met you.
Informative and interesting. Wondering how you will solve the sails issue. Thank you for posting.
Veldig god og tankevekkende episode. Burde være obligatorisk for enhver drømmende jordomseiler.
You have awesome capabilities in so many categories, Highest Blessings with Be Free's sails
Amazing, you are just amazing
THOMAS... FANTASTIC VIDEO... AS USUAL... I AM HAPPY YOU PASS IN TIMOR LESTE... ( AS I AM PORTUGUESE ).... THANK YOU...... I WISH TO YOU ALL THE BEST ... FAIR WINDS ... & MY KIND REGARDS.... ✌️🥂🍾
8.10 minutes mark you should get these guys to repair your sail for bananas,thank you for your video Thomas
For a long time @ work we use the proverb “if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys”..
I think your positive outlook is what matters the most. I’ve seen to many people let the negative affect their paradigm. Keep it up, imho I really in joy watching, and living vicariously through your experiences until I also will be out there…. Getting really close/ 1-2 years max😊. Fair winds and smooth sailing 🍻👍Florida USA
Hi Thomas, would it be possible for you to do a episode on what the costs are monthly so far? For us dreamers that would like to budget a long sail :)
Huge effort, Thomas fair winds for your sail.
Great solution thinking. Now your sails. Batam is taxfree import but you’re still a long way from there
Hope you can get new sails soon
I enjoyed the vid thank you & it was nice to see Timor Leste doing OK, they did it very tough for a long time.
Realt good Thomas, keep up!!🏅👍
Tack för ännu en bra video,och vad händig du är med elektroniken,Med vänlig hälsning, Tomas
Well done!
It's good to see things are looking up for you!
ENJOY YOUR NEW COMFORTS !
Best of luck Thomas!
Splitte mine bramseil!😂 Takk for denne og.
Ja det er bra du splitter dine egne, for Thomas har nok splitt i de seilene han har...
thank you
Hei Thomas. Siden jeg produserer nyrestein i stor stil så passer kystseiling best hjemme i Norge ( Finnmark ).
Istedet for en masse elektrisk vas ombord så er det mere smertestillende nødmedisin ombord her 😂
Æ syns det e vanvittig mye elsaker i båter i dag - bekymringsfullt mye 😎
Du er en tøffing! Vh Inge
Great video :)
🇹🇱 beautiful BRI
Hi Thomas, I've been following both you and Windhippy Holly for around three years now. I have the feeling that you have had far more problems and slower progress with your large high tech boat compared to Holly with her old, small, minimal tech boat. Is this a fair assessment ?
Hi there and thank you for being following for such long time. It’s definitely more maintenance on a bigger yacht. However the progress in terms of sailing I’m far ahead of Holly now if you count nautical miles. Remember I was left behind on the Caribbean side when the canal closed for pandemic. I waited two years for the pacific to re open.
So it’s not so fair to compare. Also I terms of boat speed it’s not fair to compare either, as BE FREE average 2-3 times faster. In reality BE FREE have sailed more miles last Year alone than her last 3 years In total. So it’s really not easy to compare In any terms. Im gonna spend quite some time In Indonesia so Im sure she’s gonna catch up.
All the best
There are a number of Apple resellers in Bali.
😮 Nies jan
Your are not an American, who needs perfect, and your subscribers love your not perfekt, reallife sailing videos❤
Good luck with that rational thinking problem! 😅
Thomas do you happen to know Roger from sailing mermaid,I think he is from Norway ,just curious because he had a channel and just stopped posting a few years ago
