THE WORST DINGHY DOCK EVER - SWT 137 -WE FINALLY GOT STARLINK ONBOARD AND PREPARING FOR THE PACIFIC

We finally got our StarLink delivered as some of the last-minute shipments before we set sail into the pacific. Our dinghy was almost destroyed after using the worst dinghy dock ever and experienced some challenges with the huge difference in tidal waters on the Pacific side. After moving the navigation screen from the nav station up into the cockpit it left a big hole in the wall down below. So we decided to make the workstation for video editing a bit more streamlined and with some plywood managed to organize things a bit better, not to forget a safe and permanent install of the iMac onboard. We have been working hard the days after our canal transit to be ready for our upcoming pacific crossing. Not everything found its way to the video as recording everything slows us down. But we have changed the water pressure pump and serviced our watermaker and even the generator only to mention a few things. Our goal is to make everything ready for our long passage and then use some days to just relax and rest before we start the longest sail ever.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
Sailing around the world in a Bavaria 55 Cruiser, making videos whenever we have time for it. I used to sail singlehanded and occasionally have sailing friends onboard. But now the permanent crew aboard BE FREE is including Gee from Holland. We are now exploring the pacific ocean.

Even though this is season 5 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. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing ever since. Also, more than 10 years of experience 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 that 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.
