Sailing dreams crushed after world wide COVID challenges - SwT 20
March 26, 2020 by Sailing with Thomas | Language: EN Play Time: 00:23:30 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
This is a “live update” from Panama, and therefore a SPOILER ALERT for future episodes. I’m sorry for being so behind on my normal series of videos, but this situation we all are in now was important to share. This is about not only my long time planned dreams going down the toilet for now, but also my friends and others decades of planning and preparing.
Se how the staff at Shelter Bay Marina with Volontaires help yachts in quarantine, and the constant changing in situations and challenges.
Thank you for watching!
Crushed sailing dreams are the reality not only for Be Free and crew but for all of us that has this lifestyle. The impact of the coronavirus has massive consequences for the whole world, and for some bigger than others. We are lucky to be healthy, yet it is hard to realize decades of planning and saving not being realized.

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.
