Embark on a remarkable sailing adventure in Timor Leste with Thomas, experiencing both the beauty and challenges of his unique world. Stay tuned for more updates from Thomas as he navigates Southeast Asia and shares incredible stories of friendship, discovery, and love for life on Be Free.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.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I'm a sailor with a YouTube channel and not a YouTuber. 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 YouTube 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.

Sailing with Thomas
Sailing solo around the world in a Bavaria 55 Cruiser - S/Y Be Free. Most of the time sailing single handed and occasionally with friends and other guests. Dreaming of crossing the Pacific singlehanded. Most of my life has been in the small coastal town Tønsberg, 95 km south of Oslo. With the national park at our doorsteps, and the Oslo fjord and Skagerak sea outside the windows, it was almost mandatory to own a boat. I´m almost raised in a sailboat and had my first by the age of 7. Not only did we spend 3 weeks every summer, and every weekend of my childhood, on the lean (Sailing) But my parents owned a boat factory, where they manufactured sailboats and smaller motorboats. So I think its fair to say I've been into sailing my whole life. MY LAST JOB Full time working for the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue, and almost 10 years as voluntary and skipper for the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue.
