[@billwilliams9527]

Thomas, a sailor and a chef too? Yo, 'Be Free' you are the personification of many of your subscribers, I say, "screw the politicians and the fear mongers". A pleasure to see you guys so happy in your roles as 'close friends'.

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you so much for your kind words🙏🏻 We are having a good time and enjoy our company and new location as well. Food has always been important on BE FREE along with a good bar💪🏻🍻 Cheers 🍻

[@7n8th]

Stay safe lad's.. fun fact... Freedom on Greek language is Ελευθερία which comes from ancient times which means to be able to go wherever you want. So I guess on lockdown times you get to leave Ελευθερία on its routes.. Be free my friend waiting your next video

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you so much for enlightening me in Greek sayings🙏🏻 I love Greece and hopefully I will be back there a few years from now. All the best and cheers from BE FREE. 🍻

[@wayneanderson1641]

Thomas, it takes a Macho Viking to sail that ship!😎 staycool Thomas and Kylie👌

[@SailingwithThomas]

Ha ha🤣 Thank you 💪🏻 Should ask for a Viking emoji 🤣 All the best and cheers from both of us here in paradise 🤣

[@edward6902]

a network of red /black cables run between all the lead-acid batteries might be in order…finished on the ends with clamp-on connectors

[@firstnamelastname9013]

👏👏👏👍 Good job Thomas and the drone footage is beautiful ! 🥰

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I’m happy you enjoyed this episode and the drone videos as well. Cheers 🍻

[@tomasseglaren4731]

Tack för ännu en bra video. Smart drag av er båda att flytta, man kan undra vad som är på gång igentligen med all denna Corona. Resturang Bee Free verkar vara ett bra ställe att käka. Ha det nu så bra både två. Mvh Tomas

[@SailingwithThomas]

Takk Tomas 🙏🏻De har seriøse utfordringer her nå og et ikke fungerende helsevesen. Så de har få valg nå som tallene eksploderer. Takk for at du ser på videoene🙏🏻 Skål fra BE FREE🍻

[@datcat6455]

Thomas, just ran across your channel, must say I love your outlook on life and the fact that you listen to and follow your gut feelings. As we have all seen, our initial gut reaction to some crazy news is almost always more accurate than the 'experts' who are benefiting from these crazy rules, usually they are benefiting financially it seems. Well not so much going forward....fair winds and following seas.

[@walldog1457]

BRAVO, you are spot on SIR Thomas, Wishing you both the BEST while on the same path.. Thanks again for the vid,

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 Happy you enjoyed this episode and for being here! All the best and cheers 🍻

[@brucebates1302]

Lounging around on a giant unicorn while having a beer in the Caribbean with great food and Wanderful company! Covid or not that sounds like a good time. Take care and stay safe and healthy. Thanks for the video.

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you for watching and your positive comment🙏🏻 We are having a great time here even though it’s some limitations. Better than being watched in a marina 🍻 All the best and cheers 🍻

[@jones3892]

Another good vid... you might need to start sharing the recipes too. Cheers!

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Food is important part of this adventure and to spice up our life. So I’m happy to share recipes as inspiration. I’m no professional in food or cooking just love to experiment and enjoy life. All the best 🍻

[@M-Swede]

It's Monday. Work was..oh, let's just say, less than awesome. Then Sailing with Thomas rolls out some sunshine, sailing and sushi! Yep, Monday just got a whole lot better.

[@SailingwithThomas]

Wow thank you so much for your inspiring words 🙏🏻 Make me happy to know we’re able to spread some sunshine! All the best and cheers 🍻

[@dianabentley2619]

Great drone shots ! Both of you take care , cheers 🍻⛵️

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 All the best and cheers 🍻

[@skniberg]

Congrats on having a good life in lockdown with great company! Must say, your boat really sails well , boatspeed and takes the seas very harmonic! Must be the unicorn effect, if you have one aboard all turbulence disappears in a puff of magic (fluid dynamics 411) 🤪🦄

[@SailingwithThomas]

Ha ha🤣 Thank you 🙏🏻BE FREE sails very nicely and comfortable. Perfect for me as solo sailor arriving well rested. Never underestimate the power of a unicorn 🤣 Cheers 🍻

[@zaphodbeeblebrox1153]

Cheers mate . . . very enjoyable . . . all the best for the lockdown period (you sure got the right idea) . . . love the unicorn !!

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you 🙏🏻 so much fun with the unicorn 🦄 🤣 Cheers 🍻

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Cool another episode! Stay safe Thomas dude you and Kylie always make me hungry lol. Such good food we see keep safe during this.. Kayaking unicorns backwards lol :)

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏻 We try to enjoy live make the best out of our situation. Cheers 🍻

[@enjoythecalm8743]

Thank you this made my day

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 All the best and cheers 🍻

[@MoreSplit]

Thomas, you must have 200-300A 102 switches for connection service starter battery. or extension 90-100mm2 auto start cable,need only 1 cable because negative is already connected

[@SailingwithThomas]

Yeah it’s already on my list of small upgrades. Never had a situation like this before on BE FREE. All my previous yachts have had this feature from production. Somehow this B55 don’t have it. I would had no trouble sailing in and just drop the anchor though. Been practicing in case of similar situations. But all good 💪🏻 Thnx for your advice🙏🏻 Cheers 🍻

[@MoreSplit]

@@SailingwithThomas 1 time hapen like you battery die before 30 year and after always have cable 5 meter in boat or switch 102 . one time i sail in marina Jezera Croatia (lose propeler) newer again. Not problem sail ,problem is stop boat solo. becouse be under stress i forget drop anchor in marina and late colect anchor. wind 10 knots and coming strong bora in night,but never again.

[@SailingwithThomas]

Yeah sailing into a marina solo is hard core! And Bora is no joke in the Adriatic Sea😅 I have never sailed into a marina with this boat. Did it many times with previous boats. A 36 foot I had for years sailing in and out of my yacht club without engine onboard. But this is different. Anchorage is zero stress though. Cheers 🍻

[@larryhill7563]

Thanks love your work

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you so much🙏🏻 Cheers 🍻

[@roncanizares9966]

I keep a set of "jumper cables" on board (the type to start a car from another car when one's battery is dead) that are long enough to go from the house bank to my starter battery, just in case. I hope I never need them.

[@SailingwithThomas]

Yeah that’s clever and a good emergency solution. I’m gonna add a switch and make a solution similar to my previous boat had. All the best and thank you for your input and for watching! Cheers 🍻

[@manuelgarrido3087]

Hi Thomas! There are a lot of things that doesn't make any sense in this "corona-shit". On the other hand, being trapped i Grenada is not that bad, is it? And "your secret anchorage!!! Man, I definitely can think about a couple of worse places to be on a lockdown! Believe man, I fully understand "your" meaning of "be free" and I thing it's the right choice! Take care and good winds!

[@SailingwithThomas]

The beauty of the island and the friendly people are the same. Hopefully this will not last for long! Still love Grenada and it’s people! Being in a marina where the tell you what you can an not is a different story and it was time to leave. Cheers 🍻

[@billhanna8838]

@@SailingwithThomas 2 week lockdown should see us on top of this 'Virus' = 18 months ago ? Your doing the right thing - BE FREE ( You couldnt just switch over to the house batteries ?) between 10 & 12 knots NICE.

[@SailingwithThomas]

Somehow my boat doesn’t have the features of switching between batteries. I’m for sure gonna arrange something. However I’m not at all worried about sailing into an anchorage alone and drop my anchor alone. Looks like it’s just gonna get worse here in terms of virus and measurements... I love Grenada but if it gets worse might run to another island

[@markuskoarmani1364]

Good run! Thomas, what are the essentials rig on your sailboat to make it single handed ? I love your life style!

[@SailingwithThomas]

It’s really nothing changed from original setup except from autopilot. Everything is accessible from cockpits in most modern yachts today. Thank you for watching! Cheers 🍻

[@joelw2023]

Be Free!

[@SailingwithThomas]

Hell Yeah!!! Cheers mate 🍻

[@ronthibeau2862]

You to are a cute couple to watch

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Cheers from both boats 🍻

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

I know exactly where that bay is. You think Kylie would do a boat tour of her beautiful vessel? Cheers 🍻 🍺

[@SailingwithThomas]

Yeah it’s not that secret but surprisingly no one stays here. Love this calm place! I will ask her if we can do a tour of her boat as well! Cheers 🍻

[@NoBullshitJustGaming]

Stay safe brother, cheers 🍷🧉🥂

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you! Cheers 🍻

[@IcyMidnight]

I'd be interested to see your heave to technique!

[@SailingwithThomas]

I will make some more sailing tech videos in the future along with different strategies and how I do things alone on a modern yacht. Just need some more sailing time with camera rolling 💪🏻 Cheers 🍻

[@MiQBohlin]

Aye m8’s, I think I owe you a beer ‘til we share the same anchorage. 😉

[@SailingwithThomas]

Thank you my friend! Can’t wait to share the beers somewhere soon. All the best and cheers 🍻

[@jthompsoniii]

What caused the battery malfunction?

[@SailingwithThomas]

I have not yet found out why. I have had no issues before my 1 month stay in marina on shore power. So I’m checking the power on my alternator and this seems to be correct. I will start up my generator and see how much the 223V chargers kicks in and also a few other things. I’m gonna check the logg on my Victron system as well

[@jthompsoniii]

@@SailingwithThomas Thank you for the quick response. A working battery will get warm after normal operation, due to engine heat and carrying a charge load. If your battery gets very hot, though, it may indicate that your charging system has some problems. On a weak battery the alternator may be working harder than normal to keep it charged. This constant charging will cause the battery to heat up. A faulty alternator can also cause the battery to heat up as well. An alternator with a bad voltage regulator can lead to overcharging the battery, and may damage both components. Root cause analysis is oddly important me :(

Hei Thomas. Ser at du har slått ut håret😃 - etter mange år i "velklipt og kortklipt" . Føles det frigjørende?😉😜

[@SailingwithThomas]

Ja nå er det mer hippie style🤣 Skål gamle nabo🍻

[@paulpaul9914]

The flag has fallen off & the spare / standby / switchable dual purpose / starting & house battery has gone on holiday?

[@SailingwithThomas]

Yeah somehow this boat dont have the feature with switch to channel power from household to start. Had that in previous boats. Thank you for watching🙏🏻 Cheers 🍻

[@Lawiah0]

You will not scare the children if you don't wear your mask(s), no one would know there's a plan, imagine a plan so deadly you need a "patent test" to know you have it; once your told you have the plan you need "patent chemical(s)"; also note the corporations with the "plan" will tell you when you can stop using their patents.

[@SailingwithThomas]

It’s all fucked up for sure! Starting to get tired of this shitt! Cheers 🍻
