THE PERFECT SETUP FOR A FUN LIFE - SwT 114 - THE SOCIAL SIDE OF BE FREE

It's not always boat work and sailing! Sometimes it's just time to be social a bit crazy and has some fun. And while trying to remake the lost episode about how to understand a mass production yacht I'm now showing you the social side of BE FREE. Unfortunately, some individuals with access to a keyboard and wifi can not behave so I had to block quite a lot of accounts before uploading this re-made episode again. One of the reasons I wanted a fairly new boat was to not spend all the time between sailing only doing maintenance and upgrades. BE FREE certainly has delivered as a pretty trouble-free boat taking into consideration the number of miles sailed and years of the full-time liveaboard.
Also, I might be among the most social solo sailor out here on the seven seas and enjoy spending time with new and old friends. It's quite amazing how quickly it's possible to establish a social network even on a tiny island where the minority speaks English. But then again Columbians are among the sweetest and friendliest people you can encounter and The BE FREE bar always delivers. I believe you need time to understand a new destination's culture and people and what's going on under the surface. Making local friends is the fastest way to this and also enriches your stay on so many levels.
I'm also saying see you later to the Sophisticated Lady crew but will soon meet up again in Bocas Del Toro - Panama. Meanwhile, I hope to have my MackBook rescued but don't have too high hopes after it was drenched in water. The costs of running a youtube channel are sometimes almost making me question why I'm doing this.
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 like to consider my returning viewers as friends. Rude comments and bad behavior equals banning from this channel. I'm more in for quality viewers than volume. 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 might not work 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.
Discussions around topics designs and sailing are always welcome. Personal attacks are from my perspective so low it qualifies for being kicked out of my Chanel permanently without warnings.

    Thomas you speak English very well. Don't let a few people bother you. They are miserable people. Most people can only speak 1 language and they have no idea how hard it is to learn another language. We all really enjoy your videos and content that you share with us. Thank you again for sharing your experiences with us.

    I couldn’t agree more. Trying to run everything through a mental translator, making sure you have the vocabulary and the grammar to say what you want to say, all before opening your mouth, especially in the middle of a conversation when you have milliseconds to do all of that is no easy feat. I speak English as my primary language, and I very poorly speak Dutch. I know this struggle first hand. Anybody who teases or makes fun of someone for trying to speak another language, no matter how well or poorly should check their attitude by comparing their ability to speak the other person’s language. If they can’t do it flawlessly without errors or accent, then they need to shut their pie hole and recognize the effort of the other person for even attempting to speak another language.

You are a good human being, helping others ... don't let naysayers direct your rudder. And, if you can dig deep into your soul, "...love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike."

I have to say it would be much harder for me to watch if you produced all your videos in Norwegian! lol :) So I give to you many thanks for catering to those of us that only speak English. :) I hope you find a way to deal with the trolls. Perhaps someday you'll have enough resources to find some folks to help you with the comments behind the scenes on your behalf. :)

    Thomas i very seldom write any comments but in this case I must. You are by far the best and most interesting as you so well put it yourself "sailor with a KZread channel" out there! And it is exactly that, you are not a youtuber sailing and that is great. I also appreciate your explanation on how you sail, anchor, look at weather and so on. Keep up the good work and keep giving the haters the finger. Greetings from Sweden

    Dear Thomas! As you im not native speaker and for me your english is perfect, your videos are a great motivation and a example. Please go ahead !!! One of the reason that push me to change my life and go sailing is the people and their rumors, i live in a small town. You are the number one!!!!

    I had to stop the video, after this intro... to write this comment. I was blown away by what you said. If there are people that criticize your posts, language skills, and/or friends for any reason, need to get a life. What is wrong with their brains? The level of your professionalism, the years of experience, the loving circle of friends, the positiveness and incredibly wonderful and honest lifestyle... and the list goes on... from where many should take as a positive example, is abundant. You are certainly a generous person, caring, and straightforward, and anyone that has you as a friend is very fortunate! Please dismiss the negative comments, keep up the good work and life, don't stop giving us your best through your fantastic videos, as it is an example to follow. Be well, and cheers to you, Thomas, and Be Free!!

    Being in the airline industry for 26 years working with 140+ nationalities (including 6 years with Norwegian Airlines 😉) i know that we all have an "accent" in another language, but never was that ever a problem with intelligent people. Who cares - its about what you say, apart from the fact that your english is top notch anyhow! Keep the good vibes - we have only one life to be lived , it better be a positive and happy one ;-)

    Hey Thomas first thank you for your video they are instructive funny and refeshing, well in regards of your funny accent and very good English its the trademark of your also interesting channel, I know what you can feel about idiots like this, as I am in the same boat, and I would not worry about it, those people only speak one language in the most cases and don't even speak and write it properly, it is often their trademark to lower themselves in this kind of comments. Can't wait for the next episode, all the best on the water.

Jeg tåler det meste men ikke slibrige kommentarer og angrep på mine venner. Da setter jeg ned foten og drar ut pluggen for å si det pent. Kos dere i Valencia! Fantastisk hyggelig by, og god fingermat (tapas) i gamlebyen. Cheers 🍻

    People don't understand what language is. Sure, there is syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics. But, language is about communication, and includes body language, tone of voice, and yes, even clothing! My point is, a KZread channel is about communication, and it's something you do exceptionally well, Thomas! We, your friends, have respect for you, and if you choose some lucky person as a friend, then that person is covered by our respect for you. I believe that if you can't add something positive to the conversation, or if you can't criticise politely, then it is best to keep silent. That's all.

A bit like cities who's occupants dont care about leaving dogs mess in the street (yes you Paris & Milan!). best place for that is rear view mirror. Keep up the great positive content. Cheers
