SAILING 628 MILES WITH ONLY ONE WORKING SAIL - SwT 187 - I FINALLY MADE IT TO BALI

628 nautical miles is a long sail with only one sail left that's working!
Sailing nonstop from Timor Leste to Bali Indonesia with strong ocean currents and not many sails left after my eventful sail earlier this year. Hopefully, there is a sail loft in Bali that can help me fix one of my main sails and even my genoa. Bali the island of Gods has been on my top 10 list for a long time and I can't wait to explore. But also this time I was delayed by customs and immigration due to some errors from last time in Indonesia. The bureaucracy for yachts entering or leaving Indonesia is quite a task and I really recommend using an agent.
With great assistance from my friends here and even in Jakarta everything finally worked out smoothly and I can now enjoy Indonesia for a long time.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I'm a sailor with a KZfaq channel and not a KZfaqr. Sailing around the world in a Bavaria 55 Cruiser mostly solo, making videos whenever we have time for it.
Comfortable at sea with 4 decades of sailing experience and hundreds of thousands of miles behind me.
Even though this is season 6 on KZfaq I did not make that many videos in the beginning, and obviously not from my entire sailing life. Before full-time sailing 6 years ago, I sailed several seasons in the Mediterranean, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing and racing ever since. Also, more than 10 years of experience as a captain in Search and Rescue at sea in Norway.

So many remarkable moments in this video when you arrive Bali. The dinghi sailor at the sunset, the guy laughing hard when you told him he will be in the next video. And obviously the pollution at sea, once more a reminder to all of us. Thanks for sharing Thomas 👋

Great video! My husband and i are cruisors also but just starting out. You mentioned not using your water maker and instead getting water delivered locally. My question is how do you ensure the delivered water is ok to drink? Thanks Thomas and fair winds and following seas in your travels. Maybe some day we will catch up to you! SV Dulcinea

Thank you so much for watching and for being here. I have filters on my water systems but still don’t trust the delivered water. Only use this for shower and cooking. Drinking water is so cheap here so are buying big (19 liters) bottles to be on the safe side. Enjoy your sailing and cruising life⛵️ Warm greetings from Bali

Hi mate from Brisbane Australia…….black dust could be graphene oxide ..comes from chemtrails…..use a magnet over the dust and see if it sticks to it There are videos on line where people are using magnet and picking up black dust on our white beach sand…..

Hi there! Yeah you could be right, I didn’t think about this. I do know there is lots of crazy experiments going on. Even mainstream media back home are telling its viewers that within 10 years the companies where even Norway are involved will be able to reduce the global temperature chemically enhancing the clouds. As a sailor living in touch with the nature and understanding a bit about weather I believe it’s extremely dangerous when humans trying to play God.

I imagine you only have 23000 subscriptions as you dont use boobs and sex shots in your lead photo. God Bless you. Your channel is a breath of fresh air in a world of fantasized reality. As you have stated... "this was a real storm not a youtube storm" Annoying how the third world countries invent endless rules for people like you but they clearly have you at a disadvantage. Anyone that shows up there on a yacht is rich. might as well take some of their money. I would rather see poor countries taking advantage of you than rich corporations extorting the poor for things they need... which happens every day. Loved the boat shots of sailing. Breath taking.

Thank you so much for being here and for your kind words as well. Sadly I believe you are correct even though I also know I have a huge potential to improve. But for sure trying to stay away from BS and drama etc is not the formula for fast growth of a channel. The interesting fact is now and then even I receive click bait drama accusations, but I guess it’s mostly from viewers not familiar with this channel. My goal is always to surprise my friends here with more and better content than the thumbs and titles promise. Not always I succeed but this is what I try to do. Sometimes even the most boring thumbs can have the best videos. All the best

I used to watch numerous sailing channels but they just got worse and worse for naked women and stupid content as it gets hits. You are now one of two sailing channels I watch. Your travels of the last six month have changed my perspective on that part of the world. cheers.

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 It’s sad that the strategy from the music videos in the 80s still works on KZfaq. I remember when the formula was more bikini and sexual approach to camouflage and take focus away from poor performance and lack of talents. The more bikinis the less interesting content, but it still sells. I don’t judge those who still follow this formula. Whatever works, but it’s not my style. It’s all about what audience you want to attract, and only by reading all the comments on my channel here it’s obvious that Im blessed with attracting more intelligent viewers. To me this is much more interesting. Thank you so much for being here

@@SailingwithThomas Flattered you reply. One thing I believe will be different for you as apposed to the bikini channels is that no matter where you go in the world the people that know you are coming and watch your channel will go above and beyond to help you with anything you need. Not to mention the people are not going to be 30 and fun they are going to be 50 and capable. Your average viewer would be much more practical and mature than the average bikini channel viewer. thanks for posting. I have learned so much about so many things from you.
