Atlantic crossing with guests, encountering whales and autopilot problems - SwT 19
Thank you for watching!
In this episode, I’m taking hitchhikers on board for the Atlantic crossing, Its always a risk when you are taking strangers onboard especially for such a long crossing. But luckily it went all good with this lovely young couple from Poland, and when the autopilot failed it turned out to be a blessing being four persons onboard. Fabio is also onboard in this episode and disembarks at Martinique after sailing two months onboard BE FREE.
The highlight of this passage was the whales playing around us for two days even though it sometimes was a bit scary when they starting to get to close.
Special thanks to Marina @VaLeiLa Sail for lending me Fabio for such a long time! Fabio, you rock and I hope to see you onboard BE FREE again soon!

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. ONE LIFE SAIL IT WISELY www.sailingwiththomas.com
