Hi there! Yes this guys have been so much fun and professional to work with. Marina and rigging company are different companies, but for sure Caraibe Marin must be proud! At least I’m very happy with my decision to use them for this important work on Be Free. Cheers 🍻

Thomas, as a french teenager my first little loves were in Norway where my father lived for his work (Stavanger - Reidun, Hanna, Brit, Inger...) . I did return there several times, as I longed the country wild landscapes and the kindness of the people. Now 63, my last love (and however wife :)) is from Martinique, and we got married 2 years ago in Le Robert where her mother still lives. So you see, I find it super that your story echoes 2 parts of my life that I love the best. Ha det bra min venn, tchen bé rèd, pa molli !

Sir, I have enjoyed your videos a lot. I really like your attitude to life, trying to enjoy life as we certainly only have very limited time on this earth. I thank you for sharing your adventures and look forward to watching your videos when you finally make it to the Pacific. Be free is certainly the way to live your life. Thank you and all the best.

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 My motto since very young age have been “One life, sail it wisely”. I worked one week at a advertising and marketing company when at school. They gave me a task to come up with a slogan and logo for my life. So this motto and my logo have been with me ever since. I’m so looking forward to the Pacific experience!!! Can’t wait!

Wow look at you go! From a small idea to a sponsorship, how cool is that?! I’m so happy for you. I was hoping you would go for the lights and now look! Amazing! I’m so glad you did that panel yourself! What a great idea and it looks super professional! Much better than what you could’ve bought online! I can’t wait to see it installed! 🤩 As a Djembe drummer it was so nice to hear the melodic beats in the streets! Woot! So much fun! You rock! 😎

Yeah it was so much fun!!! I only showed a fraction of the amazing beats they came up with based on what they had around them. I suspect some of them plays drums for real during the carnival. If not they should definitely start and could even make their own band. They for sure have been happy with the videos but until three days ago I did not expect anything. I just had fun and shared my happiness as a satisfied client. Cheers 🍻

Very nicely done Captain. When you dim a light does it draw less power? On the system or just for less desirable light. Looked like a great party as well. Thanks for the vid. Oviedo FL.

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I will find out how much difference it will give by measure it. My skills and knowledge in electronics is very limited but learning more and more. The lamps are 1,3A and 16W so with all on max power it will be 13A and 160W with total of 10K lumens. So it’s definitely gonna light up BE FREE. I’m pretty sure dimmer will be a good call and also option of turning off the lamps facing down. Thank you for watching and being here! Cheers 🍻

Hei Thomas, kan ikke tror at du er faktisk norsk når jeg ser hvor utrolig bra du har laget denne switchboard. Vi jobber med båter og dette er den første hjemmelaget proff utsende bryter panelet jeg har sett! Du er ansatt! ;-) Om du skal lage noe størrere en gang, sjekk bluesea.com, her kan du designe din egen og få det ferdig tilsend. Men dem er ganske dyrt også..

Hei og takk for hyggelig kommentar! Jeg er så norsk det går å bli😊Men jobbtilbudet kan jo bli fristende en gang når jeg er blitt blakk😊 Hadde jeg vist at jeg kom til å bli her så lenge hadde jeg nok bestilt noe ferdig eller leitet litt mer etter brytere osv. Men nå var det bare å få satt sammen noe raskt og enkelt. Takk for at du så denne videoen 🍻

Can l ask what program did you draw up your design,l think you may use it also for some of the schematics in your videos perhaps Very nice job on switchboard Thank you
