HOW CRAZY IS THIS? - SwT 69 HOW WE FINALLY MET AFTER 3 YEARS!

[@bajorgensen]

If there ever was something meant to be, this is it! Met a lot of people on the same route crossing the atlantic, but this is wild.

Thank you for watching 🙏🏻 It’s for sure interesting to see how close we were so many times. Cheers 🍻

Amazing story Thomas. I have a similar experience with my girlfriend, but thousands of miles apart. In our previous life we took similar lifestyles path and life change decisions. We met 5 years ago and been moving around the world together ever since.

[@SailingwithThomas]

Cool 👍🏻 Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your story as well. Cheers 🍻

What has happened between you two is no coincidence! The timing before you both met, just wasn't right for you both to meet. Life can be as simple as that. Enjoy your time together.

Looks like you can't escape destiny! I think you are both very lucky to find each other and I am sure it makes many other jealous. Another amazing thing is that you both knew exactly where you were on each date as I would not have known or kept a record. André in Sydney

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you so much for watching and your kind words. Actually we started comparing date stamps on photos after realising we had been at similar places at more or less the same time.

Thomas, Another insightful video in your adventure in life... yes one can see the frustration with the Virus restrictions and lock downs emanating from your voice and words. I too , feel the very same as both you and Kylie do. Although the ... True and Amazing back story is the two of you , yes three years of sailing in so many of the very same locations , at the same point in time , yet not noticing each other . To finally meet after crossing wakes for three years and even the same sunset pictures . I can not help but Smile when I hear your story. Kylie looks familiar and I am wondering if she was in Waterford Harbor , when she was in Houston. Anyway Fair Winds and Safe Sea's to the both of you. Robert North Star

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! I’m so happy that you enjoyed this episode. I believe she was there so you might have seen her. All the best and cheers 🍻

[@travelingtimothy]

Your destiny is not often within your own hands. Everything is as it was meant to be, but that also means one should not read too much into meeting while on a journey common to both. It is great you meant and you both now have options that neither of your knew about before. What a fun time this must be for both of you!

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for being here! It’s for sure a weird experience but seriously fun to explore our paths in historical perspective. Cheers 🍻

Say hi to Terry for me. He did s lot of work on L’Acadienne this year and last. Perhaps we will cross paths after we return to Grenada in December. Love the time we spent at Sandy Island last May. We hope to get back to Martinique and watched you video of your passage in case we choose to sail direct from Tyrell to Le Marin to avoid covid restrictions in SVG or St Lucia

[@SailingwithThomas]

I will do so! Terry is a great guy. Im on my way towards Martinique in Desember. All the best🍻

Interesting coincidences and great graphic visualization of your journeys! Although one explanation you&Kylie have similar routes and velocity may be you’re both wise captains, making similar decisions with regards to weather, risks, covid and sunset optimization?!

Nice one - thinking statistically I wonder if you tracked proximate AIS signal data for your trip how many others will have stayed on a very similar track given that time of year will drive most cruising plans. probably a lot of other people you should get round to saying hi to :-)

[@SailingwithThomas]

A very interesting thought. We both where slightly late compared to the masses of cruisers. Arrived canaries after the ARC already left. But actually met a few sailors in the Caribbean that I also met in the med. cheers 🍻

[@MiQBohlin]

Aye m8’s, That is a play of the old gods testing you out 😄Notice that Kylie is one of your greatest follower! But now I'm worried about Kylies anchor. It looks like a Lewmar Claw. Please check this new vid out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4iVgHmkYpaol80 and consider to either sell it or modify it. An angel grinder with a flap disk should do wonders to sharpen the anchor. On the other hand the galvanizing would probably be ruined…

[@SailingwithThomas]

Ha ha🤣 Definitely lots of random things that could changed lots of things. I believe she just replaced the old one for a new one. It’s not her primary anchor. She have a beast of an anchor. But thnx for sharing. Cheers 🍻

[@davidyendoll5903]

Was Kylie's anchor the same weight as the one tested ? The guy doing the tests is pretty thorough and his site is certainly worth a look if you are buying an anchor . Wow . Pulling power ! 🤣

[@MiQBohlin]

Definitely, Steve has developed a substantial amount of test facts which in many cases are quite surprising to be honest. Like the claw anchors very bad performance, not to mention everyone’s favourite not many years ago - Rocna. Now we have a very different perspective thnx to all the work Steve have done ⚓️

[@roncanizares9966]

Great video, as usual. Questions: Did you single hand across the Atlantic and did Kylie do so twice, West to East and East to West?
