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. ONE LIFE SAIL IT WISELY www.sailingwiththomas.com

In the latest episode of Sailing with Thomas, join him as he welcomes old friends Alicia and Brian on board B Free, his Bavaria 55 Cruiser, for a much-anticipated reunion in Bali. As they catch up and prepare for adventures together in this Indonesian paradise, Thomas shares some great news about upcoming projects and reveals how to adjust the pressure in your automatic water pump.
Big News and Old Friends
After a week filled with rest and working on his new project, Thomas discusses some of the contrasts and distractions Bali has offered while focusing on his to-do list. He shares that although he can’t get his sales professionally fixed in Bali, he is determined to fix them himself after temporary repairs in the South Pacific.
Adapting to New Surprises
Thomas finds surprises even in Indonesia, such as P tubing, which he discovered is available everywhere in Bali. He shares his challenges with finding quality canvas repairs and genuine umbrella fabrics that will last.
Troubleshooting the Water Pump
In this episode, Thomas takes some time to troubleshoot a leak in his fittings, resolving it properly with PEX tubes and new fittings. He explains an easy trick to reduce water pump pressure when faced with leaks or being far from marinas and hardware stores.
Adjusting the Pressure in Your Automatic Water Pump
Thomas demonstrates how to adjust the pressure in an automatic water pump using just a screwdriver. He emphasizes that it is essential to know how to increase or decrease pressure for various reasons, including fixing leaks or adjusting a new pump’s output.
A Bonus Channel with More Details
Thomas announces his new YouTube channel where he will post extended versions of his episodes, offering more details and precise content for those seeking fast answers to their specific problems. This separate channel offers a ‘skip the story’ approach, providing only essential information.
Reuniting with Friends
The highlight of this episode is Thomas meeting Alicia and Brian in Bali after not seeing them for 2.5 years, since Panama. They embark on exploring the island together.
Feeling Free
In true Sailing with Thomas fashion, the episode concludes by reminding viewers to subscribe and hit that notification bell not to miss out on his Southeast Asia adventures. A special thank you goes out to his patrons, family, and friends for their continued support.
