    • @DangarMarine
      @DangarMarine  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks mate. I do think it is the perfect size for a work boat, which is what it will spend the bulk of ours life being. A little small for a cruising boat though, but it is great that it is possible to live aboard for periods of time in relative comfort.

    The joys of coastal cruising. My Dad and his mates brought a 50ft Ocean Alexander down from Port of Brisbane to Fenwicks and they had to spend time in some ports waiting for the weather to improve. So it must be a wonderful voyage for you to make Stu. Wishing you all the best for the rest of the voyage mate

    Wise move not to leave Coffs that week. We saw a 35’ yacht get smash broadside on the bar off the southern break wall at Yamba that week. He nearly capsized twice, eventually making it back out and following the exact line you were given by marine rescue. A very lucky sailor!

    Great video Stu. I really like seeing the route planning and all that goes with it. I live near the 🇨🇦Great Lakes🇨🇦 so don’t have to worry about tides and all the challenges that come with them.
    Saw you scooter post earlier. Really smart choice for sure. But...you’ve been keeping secrets from us. Your own personal helicopter. You sly dog you😎

      Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the vid. I find the planning part of the trip quite interesting and enjoyable, and it certainly takes some of the stress out of it when you do get out there. The scooter has been really handy but I don't like to talk much about my helicopter. ;)

    Thanks for taking us along in the trip...suggestion. if you can find a free audio analyser app for your phone you might be able to figure out your rpm from the exhaust note...frequency divided by number of cylinders would give r per sec....then multiply by 60 for to minutes.
    Hope you find that doable and useful.

      Well now I'm confused. Since it's a two stroke, you would only hear one discharg note for two revolutions, so wouldn't you multiply by 2...hope someone will come straighten us out

    • @DangarMarine
      @DangarMarine  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Audio might be a good way to go, optical is also very good for diesel engines. No need to divide with a two stroke. A four stroke is divide by two as each cylinder only fires once every two rotations of the crankshaft, with a two stroke (up and down are the strokes) each cylinder fires once before revolution of the crankshaft.

      @@DangarMarine I'm in the same kind of space with our flying club airplane; two years after a new GPS and transponder meeting the ADS-B (think "AIS for airplanes") requirements, we're removing the pneumatically-powered mechanical gyro flight instruments (and associated plumbing) and replacing them with modern solid-state touchscreen devices that have the same form-factor. This means retiring the primitive 1970s-era analog electronic autopilot with a modern one too.

      After I finish my next phase of flight training and the new systems ae on board, it'll be time to think about making videos again.
      The parallels between aviation and seamanship are very strong. And we flyers should do more to integrate video with the aircraft systems...seeing GPS and AIS data overlaid on live video is awesome.
