I have just caught up with your videos again - KZbin did not tell me when the new videos were out but today I wondered what you were up to. I see that today you are well on your way to the Canaries! Look forward to seeing your new videos Thanks, as always for taking the time to make the English versions of your videos for us

[@mjambo697]

Thank you very much and kind regards 😀⛵⛵

[@smquaii]

Welcome back (in English). I look forward to your journey!

[@mjambo697]

Thank you 😀⛵️⛵️

Hello Martin, have watched everyone of your videos, they are all very professionally done, good narration and filming. You are a very skilled sailor and an electrician as well. Can't wait for your next adventure to begin!

[@mjambo697]

Thank you very much 😀⛵⛵

[@jameschen9099]

Well done Martin on the Windlass installation. I can understand the personal satisfaction from your smiles. Safe travels and fair winds.

[@mjambo697]

Thank you and best regards 😀⛵⛵

[@tonyhalsall3170]

I am just AMAZED that you did your big trip without a windlass. My back problems started in the 1990's pulling an anchor up by hand just occasionally.

[@mjambo697]

Now, it is much easier and safer as well 😀⛵️⛵️

[@Lofranscom]

Dear M Jambo, Thank you for trusting Lofrans’, now you will have the “original” windlass on board :) Great video! Best Regards, Lofrans’ Team

[@mjambo697]

Thank you 😀⛵️⛵️

Kia-Ora Martin Just found you again after your last series. Thanks for sharing you upgrades and explanations on the why and how. Really lookng forward to catching up on your travels this weekend binge watching. See you when you get to New Zealand Cheers 🍻 Nick.

[@mjambo697]

Thank you very much and see you in New Zealand 😀⛵⛵

[@Ed-uj4bc]

Love your videos Martin. Seen all of them. Love watching solo sailors. Perhaps you can do an episode on how your boat is set up for solo sailing and the most important equipment you rely on because you solo sail. Thanks for the videos!

[@mjambo697]

I try on the sailing cruises. Thank you 😀⛵⛵

[@pcb1962]

Always a pleasure to watch one of your videos Martin

[@mjambo697]

Thank you! I will 😀⛵⛵

[@theartofwanderlust]

Hello Martin, always look forward to your next video, I have watched a number of them many times. Especially the long distance crossings, you make it feel like we are all along for the ride.

[@mjambo697]

Thank you and best regards 😀⛵️⛵️

[@mch979]

The key to electrical work...12V, 110V or 220V....is to keep the smoke inside the wires...:-)

[@TomChame]

Excellent, thanks.

[@mjambo697]

My pleasure 😀⛵⛵

[@chrisc5275]

Always like your videos, Martin. Good luck on your next cruise.

[@mjambo697]

[@billyrusk5645]

[@mjambo697]

Thank you 😀⛵⛵

[@kurtklein8240]

Martin, when comes the follow-up on Emden-Fuengirola, please? I´m looking forward to watching it! Thanks a lot!!

[@mjambo697]

That is the next and will come in September. 😀⛵⛵

[@hansstoop5381]

Great video again Martin... I noticed that you almost lost your glasses at 6:14.... but you dodged that bullet. You have an anchor swivel that is hold together by a screw that is glued in. I had the same. Specifically saying HAD. Lost my anchor mid ocean due to the fact that the glue came apart and thus my anchor went for a dive. Didn't notice until that night when I wanted to anchor in 25knts of wind (heart beat went up a few clicks). Please look into a mechanism to secure the bolt as you don't want to have the same surprised look on your face as happend to me. Love your channel and good travels...

[@mjambo697]

Thank you, Hans, that's a pitty with your anchor. When cruising I have the anchor always secured with some ropes, better might be a little chain. Kind regards 😀⛵⛵

[@darren5472]

Another great video Martin. I look forwards to following your next adventure. Call into the Solent in the UK on the way and I will buy you a beer! Good luck 👍 😀

[@mjambo697]

Thank s alot. I hope I make at some point of time to the Solent 😀⛵⛵

[@ksmcgloin]

Hi Martin, when do you plan to set off on your next voyage? Looking forward to it!

[@mjambo697]

Hi Kevin, I have sailed to Portugal and working on the videos. Today, the next video (German version) is going to be published, only a few final things to do. Kind regards 😀⛵⛵

[@ksmcgloin]

@@mjambo697 Thank you for the reply!! Enjoy your trip and stay safe!

[@twentyrothmans7308]

I laughed when I heard the German siren in the background. It makes me homesick in a strange way. I wonder - whenever I put a cable through a conduit, I leave a mouse cord too so that I can use it again just in case. Perhaps someone more experienced could tell me if this is a good idea or not. An excellent addition to your boat, Martin. Fair winds to you and Olli.

[@mjambo697]

Thank you and kind regards 😀⛵⛵

[@hheinsius]

Hi Martin! Like your style: one remark: Bav 34 at 7 Tons?: I don,t think so: my Bav 37 is 6900 tons..

[@mjambo697]

Hi Hans, according to the CE-certificate max. weight is 7.3 t, empty 5.5 t. I think with all the load, modifications and full tanks Jambo is around 7 t. Thank you 😀⛵️⛵️

[@sailingeastcoast]

Hi there Martin verry interesting video again. I was wondering if you plan on using the Honda generator again on your next passage or have you plan another way to create electricity?

[@mjambo697]

Hi Marco, thank you. Yes, the Honda-Genset is still part of the energy concept, now coupled with an 100A-charger making it more efficient. 😀⛵️⛵️

[@richardbuckley4187]

What do you think of the old SEAdog

[@mjambo697]

Nice guy

[@FiZc]

Hope you don't lose the magic of the adventure by making it too easy for yourself.

[@mjambo697]

Adventures can be more challenging 😀⛵️⛵️

[@M.Redsky]

In addition to your boat, what kind of monthly income do you think is necessary to engage in full year ocean cruising? I am trying to plan for this with about a 35 year horizon.

[@mjambo697]

Ist depends on the number of people, number of home flights, anchoring versus marina mooring, restaurants versus cooking, insurances (boat, health). But as best guestimate for the solo sailor 1,5-3k Euro/month.

[@georgecumming760]

Always interests me why someone would give a good video like this the thumbs down. Maybe Ollie ! 😉

[@solitaire475]

I really for sorry for losing her my friend.
