    So many remarkable moments in this video when you arrive Bali. The dinghi sailor at the sunset, the guy laughing hard when you told him he will be in the next video. And obviously the pollution at sea, once more a reminder to all of us. Thanks for sharing Thomas 👋

    gotta be terrifying with those spades out back. All the flotsam, etc., is stressy with protected gear. At least you have two of them! Nice ... thanks for this and well done, sailor.

    Great video! My husband and i are cruisors also but just starting out. You mentioned not using your water maker and instead getting water delivered locally. My question is how do you ensure the delivered water is ok to drink? Thanks Thomas and fair winds and following seas in your travels. Maybe some day we will catch up to you! SV Dulcinea

      @SailingwithThomas  6 месяцев назад

      I have filters on my water systems but still don’t trust the delivered water. Only use this for shower and cooking. Drinking water is so cheap here so are buying big (19 liters) bottles to be on the safe side.
      Enjoy your sailing and cruising life⛵️

    Hi mate from Brisbane Australia…….black dust could be graphene oxide ..comes from chemtrails…..use a magnet over the dust and see if it sticks to it
    There are videos on line where people are using magnet and picking up black dust on our white beach sand…..

    • @SailingwithThomas
      @SailingwithThomas  6 месяцев назад

      Hi there! Yeah you could be right, I didn’t think about this.
      I do know there is lots of crazy experiments going on.
      Even mainstream media back home are telling its viewers that within 10 years the companies where even Norway are involved will be able to reduce the global temperature chemically enhancing the clouds.
      As a sailor living in touch with the nature and understanding a bit about weather I believe it’s extremely dangerous when humans trying to play God.

    I imagine you only have 23000 subscriptions as you dont use boobs and sex shots in your lead photo. God Bless you.
    Your channel is a breath of fresh air in a world of fantasized reality. As you have stated... "this was a real storm not a youtube storm"
    Annoying how the third world countries invent endless rules for people like you but they clearly have you at a disadvantage. Anyone that shows up there on a yacht is rich. might as well take some of their money.
    I would rather see poor countries taking advantage of you than rich corporations extorting the poor for things they need... which happens every day.
    Loved the boat shots of sailing. Breath taking.

      Thank you so much for being here and for your kind words as well. Sadly I believe you are correct even though I also know I have a huge potential to improve. But for sure trying to stay away from BS and drama etc is not the formula for fast growth of a channel. The interesting fact is now and then even I receive click bait drama accusations, but I guess it’s mostly from viewers not familiar with this channel.
      My goal is always to surprise my friends here with more and better content than the thumbs and titles promise.
      Not always I succeed but this is what I try to do. Sometimes even the most boring thumbs can have the best videos.

      I used to watch numerous sailing channels but they just got worse and worse for naked women and stupid content as it gets hits. You are now one of two sailing channels I watch. Your travels of the last six month have changed my perspective on that part of the world.

      It’s sad that the strategy from the music videos in the 80s still works on RUclips. I remember when the formula was more bikini and sexual approach to camouflage and take focus away from poor performance and lack of talents. The more bikinis the less interesting content, but it still sells. I don’t judge those who still follow this formula. Whatever works, but it’s not my style. It’s all about what audience you want to attract, and only by reading all the comments on my channel here it’s obvious that Im blessed with attracting more intelligent viewers.
      To me this is much more interesting.

One thing I believe will be different for you as apposed to the bikini channels is that no matter where you go in the world the people that know you are coming and watch your channel will go above and beyond to help you with anything you need. Not to mention the people are not going to be 30 and fun they are going to be 50 and capable. Your average viewer would be much more practical and mature than the average bikini channel viewer.
