SAILING FAST TO SAN ANDRES - SwT 106 WHY DID I NOT CROSS THE PANAMA CANAL YET?
July 24, 2022 by Sailing with Thomas | Language: EN Play Time: 00:21:54 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Join me on this fast sail from Panama to San Andres. The Columbian island outside of Nicaragua that also was the dream of a solo sailor friend still missing after 3 years. Im meeting up with my friends Rick and Maddy from Sailing Sophisticated Lady, and experience the easiest and friendliest check in to a Latin country ever. 220 Nautical miles solo is not very long distance, but weather and busy traffic makes it a bit tiring. However the conditions was way better than expected and even sailing pretty good where I expected to be motoring due to no wind zone (Doldrums)
This is basically mostly lots of sailing with actual sounds for the lover of the sea. Hope you enjoy almost non existence music as I prioritized to give you as real feeling as possible in this episode.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I`m sailing around the world in my Bavaria 55 Cruiser, making videos whenever I have time for it. Most of the time I sail singlehanded but occasionally I do have sailing friends onboard. Still in the Caribbean due to Covid and was supposed to be in Asia by now.
Even though this is season 4 on youtube I did not make that many videos in the beginning. Before full-time sailing, I have sailed several seasons in the Med prior to this, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I have been traveling the world before and have also been an active regatta sailor for decades. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing ever since. Also, more than 10 years of experience as a captain in Search and Rescue at sea in Norway.
PLEASE BE KIND IN THE COMMENTS!
I’m just a normal person sharing my travel adventure through my eyes and experience from my perspective! Remember how I do things might work for me but not for you. It might even not be the correct way to do things, and I don’t have the blueprint either. I’m not perfect and nobody is. The day I believe I know it all and don’t think I can learn new things I should go ashore. I enjoy sharing my mistakes as well my knowledge and experience without trying to teach you anything.

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.
