The COMPLETE OCEAN CROSSING CHECKLIST - PART II

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Anything that i missed in these explanations?

[@tinytoons2517]

Like I said in the previous video . . Your the only one who tells it like it is all the others love to sugar coat things like they do in lala land . . thanks for keeping it real Jamie.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Ah, maybe I've found a niche.... No BS!

[@Eric06410]

My father was a pilot for American Airlines for forty years give or take. There are many crossovers personality traits from being a pilot and a sea captain. He has check lists for everything.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Ah does he?!...Yup there's plenty that you just dont want to forget!

As an IT Advisor for the UN, I am in two minds of this topic. I am am super pro for digital, but I am acutely aware of the failure of electronics 😅 I agree paper is sort of good, but if one spills coffee on it? Nope, the Insurance Company does not allow you to laminate. And really, to have that small scale charts when circumnavigating? You do not have enough space or money to store/purchase those detailed charts... Anyway, loved to see False Bay again! Did our shakedown cruises there and back to CapeTown!

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Correct...Paper charts for world cruising is a huge amount of money...well beyond our budget. Especially considering that i'll likely never use them. Thanks for watching.

Jamie, As a professional pilot (airplanes) , we use as "situational awareness" the IPad in flight with powerful programs that utilize live data and can keep up with my airspeed at 200 knots. This is with no external GPS but using the internal GPS. You need an IPad but with cellular capabilities and if so, it has an internal GPS. You don't need to purchase a cellular plan, but can use the GPS for any of your position needed programs including Navionics or Garmin etc. I use my two Ipads I bring on any trip and the accuracy is as accurate or better than your expensive on board GPS that is attached to your system. I recommend using it considering as both a secondary redundancy but also to give you situational awareness. I find on sails, if the boat has a connection to my ipad, I use it 90% of the time for navigating as it is capable to do so.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Yeah Cheers Mark... My old ipad2 was 3g, but would only find a position 5% of the time... No doubt the newer models would be better...

[@playb4work447]

I like your plants/garden, rarely do you see this on sailboats.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

We like our fresh herbs. They're Princess's pets...

[@eljefe1153]

As always, I am enjoying to watch your very useful videos. Thanks.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Glad you like them!

[@steveturansky9031]

Have you ever considered walkie-talkies with hands free for you and Princess? People use them on motorcycles frequently. Although wind noise may pose an issue on a boat, being able to communicate with each other from mast top to the deck, or bow anchor to the cockpit, or head sail to cockpit could be invaluable. Even from in a hull to cockpit (when troubleshooting) or from dinghy to ashore, they could be very handy. Some on Amazon are pretty cheap ($40-100). Just a thought. If I'm lucky enough to get a cruising cat, I think a set of 4-6 might be nice so there's a few spares in case you have guests or if you drop one in the water. Most of the time it would just be me and my wife.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Ya, we'd like to get a set... just gotta get somewhere where Amazon can deliver... and an address!

[@markpascual4105]

Great , very informative video for all 😊😊😊

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Thanks Maco

[@sailingvolupia]

Grate video, thank you

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Glad to hear... Cheers

[@sergest-pierre6160]

IPAD do have all have the cellular data capacity that is needed to get the GPS ship and GPS position. I use Navionics on my old IPAD and it works perfectly. I don't need external GPS.

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Serious!... My Ipad 2 (3g) would only work sporadically and that is if I put it out on the deck. Unless it had a sim card and data connection and then it was fine of course... Hence the need for the Garmin Bluetooth.

[@ATAMNocopyrightsound]

🖤

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

cheers

[@rnunezc.4575]

Excellent info , great video , gracias, one thing missing though on navigation safety, depthsounder..cheers

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Good call... Although on an ocean passage where it is miles deep it doesnt read anything... But for 70m or less..Got have at least 2!

[@rnunezc.4575]

@@SailingLifeonJupiter yep, but you will eventually arrive and need it. Cheers

[@robertlaird6746]

Question, do you have a ham radio license and if so, do you or can you run a wire up your mast for clear signal to make it all work smoothly?

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Yep. that’s all we do for the rare times that we use the HF, just run a long wire up on a halyard, and it worked welI. I do have a HAM license from long ago.
