such a great journey, i love to see the way to go simple and therefor reliable on the hard way sailing. My great respects and pls go on, can't wait to see next..
Yeh, thank you, there are lots more episodes of this trip in this playlist if you'd like to see loads more! th-cam.com/play/PLZCvVhEwq-eZluQHhMFWvmKpoP0lGI40f.html&si=ZAqHatABTDWJZUI6
The charging cable problem is a common one, I've seen at least one other sailor who takes a zip lock bag(!) of charging cables for his iPhone and just retires them when they fail. Keen to see the return leg.
@@contessa26-jim Oh. Had a super journey home, just short gale for 18hrs in acceleration zone. Made it back to Solent in 15 days. Pushed her harder. Learnt so much both ways. I need to think more about self care, which is why I enjoy your videos. I listen to over two stone !!
@@contessa26-jim I'll second this! Your attitude to sailing is contagious, and as Bob Bitchin said: "Attitude is the difference between an adventure and an ordeal." (I suspect it's always a bit of both.)
Great vid. I hear the sad card is the weak point in pi based systems, but hey good to get the charts out! I have an origo stove and am off to check out your bread making vid next 👍
Yes it's opencpn and I'm very happy with it. Being a basics sailor I don't have a sat phone or internet available offshore so predict wind wouldn't work for me. I get synoptic charts from short wave weatherfaxes which tells me all I need to know, and it's free!
I've decided to take the expert advice that exists and not use it as my main nav device, I'm going to try a tablet with opencpn and use an nmea to WiFi bridge on my AIS transponder, this should give me flexibility and easy redundancy
@@contessa26-jim So a generic tablet with an app trumps a purpose made "marine" chartplotter. Something is wrong with this picture. Fair winds and safe harbours.
@@garymalm I guess it depends on your point of view. For me, yes; a tough w/proof tablet can go in the cockpit when you need it, and by the bunk when you need it, or even in the heads. Also its under £200 where a proper dedicated plotter is multiples of that..
@@contessa26-jim I run two tablets. One with Navionics and one with CMAPS. I bought the second set up because (it was cheap and) I thought the second one has failed. Just a bad charging cable in the end. .My point was that a dedicated marine chartplotter should NOT FAIL!! We pay the known companies for reliability but don't get it.
@@garymalm Bad charging cable! That got me too! The "plotter" that failed wasnt a pro job, it was a homemade raspberry pi lashup I pout together myself!😅
@@contessa26-jimrpis do have an issue if they aren’t shut down ‘properly’ or if one doesn’t patch the OS so that it doesn’t continually write to the sd boot card (assuming sd for boot) as the SD cards don’t handle constant writes well. Good luck?

Sir, you are a hero. Thank you very much for sharing. Inspirational and in the true ocean going sailing fashion.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Eine tolle Reise, unglaublich, dass du das einfach so allein gemacht hast. 👍
What an accomplishment!
@@marcusscrafton535 thanks Marcus
Very enjoyable thanks, lots of chuckles watching this one. Good work getting the gopro working!
Thanks, the gopro problem should have been a no-brainer really!
Thanks very much... still the return journey to put together yet!
Fantastic job! Well done, some tough conditions but great boat and tough captain!
Yeah, such a great little boat, lion-hearted!
Well done Jim, great achievement. Thanks for sharing 🇮🇪
Thank you Ray!

Keen to see the return leg.
Yes, I think that's the way to go... it's also possible I hadn't pushed the connector in firmly enough! 😅
Great series, and I much prefer to watch than to be doing it.
Thanks! Sometimes when I'm 500 miles form anywhere on a tiny boat bouncing up and down I do think.. 'is this a good idea'!
Congratulations. Great achievement.
Thanks Stephen
Well done
Thanks David 🙂
Thank you for the inspirational video. They are excellent.
Thanks Andrew, I'm pleased you like them!
Many congratulations on finishing the Jester Challenge, a great achievement!
@@billywhizz6483 thank you, it was certainly memorable..
Very enjoyable, thank you for sharing
My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Love the cycling T shirt!! (and of course the videos)
Thanks Dean, M&S rules!
I do enjoy your content. Sorry I missed saying goodbye in Tereceria.

@@ximono Thats a goodquote, I think I'll steal it!
Awesome stuff Jim!! Thx!
Glad you liked it!
Nice one captain Jim xxx
Thanks for your support ☺️
Bravo
Thank you 👍
well done
Thanks 😊
Well done sir. She might be small, but def seaworthy.
She really is! I was pretty confident this would be the case and after all these miles I'm quite sure of it, she would go anywhere..
I was really looking forward to the beer. I feel cheated.
Oh yes, that would have made the perfect ending shot, I wish I'd thought of that! I must plan ahead better..
Great vid. I hear the sad card is the weak point in pi based systems, but hey good to get the charts out! I have an origo stove and am off to check out your bread making vid next 👍
Yes I've heard this too and I'm going to go down another road for my primary nav next time, rugged tablet and ais via WiFi..
Great Vid , might be a stupid question , but do you use Predict wind ? , i have seen other sailors use that , if not why ?
Yes it's opencpn and I'm very happy with it.
Being a basics sailor I don't have a sat phone or internet available offshore so predict wind wouldn't work for me. I get synoptic charts from short wave weatherfaxes which tells me all I need to know, and it's free!
Love your cooking, though fried Raspberry Pie is not to my taste! Well done :)
@@daverolstone5669 that made me chuckle. I have a plan to use the leftovers of the pie to create a weather fax machine..
Congrats on the successful voyage.
What is the final update on the Chartplotter?
I've decided to take the expert advice that exists and not use it as my main nav device, I'm going to try a tablet with opencpn and use an nmea to WiFi bridge on my AIS transponder, this should give me flexibility and easy redundancy

jim , that's a rassperypi computer , did you build or buy this ?
Yes it is, I built it and it was quite good till it failed, I won't be using it in future

@@joeltatham5673 Yes I appreciate that, I must have been too lazy with the setup!
@@contessa26-jim sorry to teach you how to suck eggs. 😁👍
Is that an OpenCPN/OpenMarine chart plotter? If it is, would you recommend it?
Yes it's opencpn and I do recommend it heartily.. however the raspberry pi is being retired from duty..
Well done fella, another great episode. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks, there are a couple more in the pipeline!
