HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO RUN OUT OF POWER? - SwT 177 Stuck in Saumlaki INDONESIA
April 08, 2024 by Sailing with Thomas | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:52 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
With some humor, I’m sharing the irony of having problems with enough power onboard while trying to finish my episode about why I don’t believe in electric or so-called hybrid solutions.
All this while waiting not only for better weather but also for the required inspection onboard from the immigration officers in Saumlaki, Indonesia
I’m sharing some secret dreams about how I could add more solar panels on my yacht, and even showing you some design sketches. This would require a hard dodger or a combination with a hardtop on my yacht.
But right now having enough power onboard to only edit and upload videos is a big challenge.
It definitely puts the electric sailboat in perspective from the real world.

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.
