After completing much preparation we embark on what will be one of the biggest...
Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy this video!
Finally done with spreader lights installation!
In this video, I'm turning on the power on the spreader lights.
This is the end of refitting and upgrades here at Martinique and I'm preparing to set sail again.
Big thank you to Caraibe ...
Refitting is almost done and I even had time for a DIY project and PARTY with my friends at Caraibe Marine.
In this episode, I'm showing you how I made my new switch panel for the big spreader light project. Caraibe Marine invited me to their private party and also gave me a big surprise. We di...
In this episode How much does it cost to re-rig a sailboat? I take you with me as we are stepping the mast back on BE FREE. I'm also sharing the full refit cost at the end of this video and even for a 35 feet and a 45 feet Bavaria to compare with my 55 feet Bavaria. The mast is back on but the ...
In this episode, I'm sharing a brief update on the refitting progress as I added some work to the refitting. Also, great progress and lots of small things solved. Even had time to a Jungle Adventure with friends checking out the tunnel that leads to the Didier waterfall. Some believe there is a...
Delayed with pleasure and learning about rig inspections on Catamarans.
Crossing oceans is not a human right, it costs money. If you cant afford maintenance and running costs you should not do it. Safety is important and rig inspection is a big part of the safety aspect. I have said you can cross o...
Refit delayed so this is a between refitting episode. Small jobs and daily life while waiting for parts from Sweden. Almost done with everything but four rods are putting everything on hold. It shipped express so should not be that much delayed. Meanwhile doing some other small jobs onboard and also...
This is NOT a DIY or HOW TO refit rigging video. BE FREE is too big and requires professionals and professional tools for this enormous job replacing everything from top to toe. Only original parts from SELDEN are used in this process and replaced by experienced professionals. My job is just to obse...
Will I ever manage to get a Berth in the Marina to start the refitting?
It has been my last week of waiting and who would know getting a space in a marina for a week would take so much effort. The refitting of my rig is supposed to start Tuesday but the service pier was too shallow. So I need a Bert...
Any skipper can do a mistake!
It's how you deal with it that defines you as a skipper. I have seen a lot being here and it's not like I try to make fun of someone else mistake. It's meant as something to think about especially when arriving at a busy harbor, bay, or anchorage.
Thin...
I have started to wonder if Martinique is the place where pleasure boats go to die in the Caribbean. It's so many wrecks here and still more added to the endless list of wrecks. A pirate ship I was invited onboard to a party last year is new on the list of wrecks. Find out if Hanna said YES an...
A DIFFERENT WAY OF COMMUNICATION is my way of looking at the important stuff in a humorous way. My intention is to share my communication strategy and it might not be what you think.
I don't give advice or telling you what to or not to. Only sharing what and how I do things
And as normal I am ...
In this video, I'm sharing with you my love for backstay tensioner. I'm not an expert but trying to explain how I believe this works for me on my Yacht without claiming to have the blueprint. I'm again only touching the surface of sail trim as it will be more detailed in-depth videos ...
Bigger is better what a cliche right? Or is it?
In this video, I'm telling you briefly why I don't want a wind vane and some other things most long-distance sailors do differently from me. I dare to share with you my point of view and also my journey in a genuine and honest way. The answer...
Why do I sail solo in a 55 feet yacht when you can cross oceans in almost anything? I really wanted a multihull yet I ended up sailing a modern 55 monohull. This is not about monohull versus catamarans, or telling you what to buy or not. Simply sharing my journey and how and why I ended up in a 55 M...
The breakage continues, the war with the lice takes a deadly turn, we attempt some home schooling, it's movie night, Elizabeth almost catches a fish and all sorts of other shenanigans. Join us as we officially cross 3,000 nautical miles of the Pacific Ocean, from the Galapagos Islands to the Fr...
We depart the Galapagos for the Marquesas Islands, 3,000 nautical miles across the empty Pacific. Along the way we have total carnage in terms of breakage (chafe, ripped sails, leaking hatches) and some health issues aboard. This is Part 1 of a 3 part series. Join us every Monday for a new release!

Remote and beautiful.
The Solomon Islands are part of the coral triangle, and hosts an incredible biodiversity, however, it surprisingly remains one of the least dived areas of the world. After visiting chief Raymonds village, and after having the children bombard the boat, we set sail to find our n...
As you may have seen in my previous video, I've now moved up my departure date for my solo sail from Tokyo to Vancouver via "Nemo North" (the furthest point from land in any direction in the Northern Hemisphere) to spring/summer 2021. And boy, do I have work to do!
Here's a reca...
Here is part 1 of a 2 part series showing the sequence of events that lead to SV Parlay having to go back to the shipyard. As we were sailing along, the rigging when totally slack, and we knew something was damaged internally. What we were to find was extremely concerning indeed...
SV Parlay is a h...

We were more or less ready with everything to prepare for the Pacific crossing when Covid-19 hits the world. We had to make a decision, staying in Panama or leaving to French Polynesia.
A day before Panama makes the Lockdown, we decide to leave. We are not 100% ready with everything, got the new ...
