NOW WHAT? A BIG CYCLONE IS BLOCKING ME - SwT 171 - SAILING THROUGH SOUTH PACIFIC CYCLONE SEASON
Join me on this amazing adventure as I leave Fiji and set sail for Indonesia on a 3000 nautical mile journey. Some say it is crazy some say it's impossible. I say it is doable with modern yacht and technology, knowledge, and a good strategy. In this video I am sharing my strategy and how I am executing this challenging sail as I am starting on this journey. Several challenges in sailing such long distances during the South Pacific cyclone season, from Fiji to Indonesia. The obvious one is of course cyclones, but light winds and changing winds are just as big a challenge. Now I have a big challenge as a massive cyclone is gonna block my passage.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
Sailing around the world in a Bavaria 55 Cruiser, making videos whenever we have time for it.
Even though this is season 6 on YouTube I did not make that many videos in the beginning. Before full-time sailing, I sailed several seasons in the Mediterranean prior to, 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.
