I am back after being sick and having lots of challenges. But I also have great news as I finally have decided and even started on my project building a hard dodger and hard top.

Thank you all for waiting patiently for new episodes and I am truly sorry for keeping you all waiting. I lost my phone with the registered SIM card for security codes and biometrics for logging in to my different tools. This alone would not been a disaster if it was not for the fact my Macbook which I just got back from repairs died again at the same time. I could borrow another sailor's Mac however logging in via another machine or phone would require codes which I could not receive. So instead of messing up everything I was hoping to get at least one of my MacBooks up and running again, as they have my biometrics and login credentials. Unfortunately, this took a while and I also was sick for a few weeks.

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 7 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. I also have 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.
