"Terysa Technical Tuesday" needs to be a regular thing! 🙂 Great info that I am very appreciative for...will be asking my wife to watch this as we discuss our Travel Plans After Retirement. Be well.
my wife and I took courses every year at the big boat shows. Also boaters university has great courses on everything from planning, maintenance, and the most useful How to be rescued, how they search for you and what you can do to help them find you. Literally saved my wife's life!
Surprised you didn’t mention navionics. I’ve loved it for the relief shading option. Great for finding wrecks if a scuba diver. But like you said. Some apps are better in certain parts of the world.
Enjoyed the video. The information gave me a some things to think about in my passage planning as well as reinforced the belief that I am covering essentially all the ings I need to be considering. Kepp the technical vidoes coming Treysa!
Another option to check the weather is windwuru, I use it more than windy to check surf spots because i found that, at least for Spain north shore, is works better for waves forecast than windy, that works better to check wind forecast.
Another interesting commentary which gives me more confidence to get into sailing. Looking forward to watching the Seawind Regatta on Pittwater next month.
Don't apologize for not being Nick. Even Nick gets tired of Nick. But here is a good suggestion for a Tech Tuesday, What sails should a cruising monohull or cat have in the sail locker for general cruising? How many sails do you really need (can you do it on just a main and jib)?
Good video as always, though as a very new sailor (partly inspired by this channel) it would have been nice to see a step-by-step example. Here's what we do to get from A to B, here are all the things we check or consider etc. starting from nothing and finishing with a planned route.
Dave, if you do a TH-cam search for "how to plan a passage" you will get results. There are several video's that go into detail. Also check the sailboat shows they will often have courses on how to passage plan. Next, if you do a Google search "course on passage planning" you will get lots of online options. I also the ASA has a course (ASA 108) called offshore passage making that will include planning the passage.
@@MarkLawrenceKiefer Thanks :) I'm planning on doing a bunch of ASA courses over the next couple of years, so that should do the job. Just think the (original) video title implied a run-through. Would have loved to hear about it from my favorite sailors. (Don't tell the Jason & Nikki ;))
Armchair sailor here, It would have been useful when there would have been an explanation of how you plan a passage by starting with distance and speed so if you plan a sail in new territory how far you can and want to go in a certain time frame. I think that is how you start planning? Then you look weather and other things to do. Back to my chair ;)
:) The obvious omission was TH-cam. Next week, I am headed to St. Martin to join a boat and so, out of curiosity, Googled "Sailing St. Martin" and got several videos. For example, the first was labeled "St. Martin's Best Anchorage." And think about all the videos you made sailing down the ICW - the places you stopped, the things you saw, the challenges you faced, etc. So, TH-cam. Oops - guess I should have waited to post until the very end... :)
I am a book and chart fellow. I do use internet but mostly for weather through PredictWind whom I find fantastic... their customer service is second to none. (I use Windy as well) Paper charts are perfect for planning but also as a back up... Nice video... good information and yes, you could do a series!
Thanks again! Hard to concentrate on what you said. Looking at the green vegetation and short sleeves! It is -6 F and we had 5 inches of snow yesterday. I'd go pretty much anywhere it was warm! There is only so much tea....
Good tips Thanks. Ordering the Pacific Crossing book right now. Something I learned about tour guides (Lonely Planet, Rough Guides) is the digital version can be a real pain in the butt to use, but the book-book, you can highlight, turn over the corner of a page, skip ahead 4-6 pages knowing that's all the 4&5 star places and restaurants you're not interested in... Sure you can bookmark and highlight the digital copy what's a page number in Kindle? It's meaningless. (I once copy-photographed about 100 pages of the Rough Guide to Scotland and then flipped through the images on my iPad - it actually worked better than Kindle.) On the flip side guide books are heavy - but on a boat this isn't as much of an issue as it is when everything is on your back. Also thinking about East Africa in a year or two? Get an out of date Lonely Planet or Rough Guide. Dirt cheap. The prices for things are off, but only a bit, some places are closed, others just opened (and everyplace is never in the guides anyway) but the itineraries, best places to visit, etc are all there.
Hi, May I ask which company your having your yacht built with over in Vietnam. Obviously there the best quality and least expensive. Great information!
Great video that was very informative. My only constructive feedback is the background music was to loud. It felt like we were in a bar where a band was playing and we were trying to carry on a conversation.
Great episode, but I suggest either purely instrumental music while talking or even no music at all. Especially at the beginning the vocals are quite distracting.
Sorry Nick. We rather like Terysa doing the show! Good presentation. I was surprised that you didn't know about the Australian cruising grounds. I, rather stupidly, assumed that being Australian you would. Clearly it is a rather large place, way bigger than us Brits can comprehend. The insight into your research was very interesting.
Research and planning. Failing to plan is planning to fail. 1st you need to know what question to ask; then be able to find the reference material to find the answer. The less than romantic part of sailing.
There is NO Internet based app, group, webpage, etc... that can replace the knowledge you can gain from a book. What if your boat's internet isn't working? What is the power is out in the area your in? What if satellites are down? Solar activity? Storms? Etc... Books are the best!
Hi guys, I watch all your videos, but this one has brought up an issue that I think about all the time. You see on a lot of sailing channels about books that are invaluable or resources that you should have and read. I am dsylexic and I struggle with reading, I have to translate most of what I read so that it makes sense to me and therefore I struggle with technical or material that is in depth. When I do read items and manage to stay on course, I find that most of the effort was spent on translating and therefore I can Recber a word of what I read which is really frustrating. Do you see this as a problem for me in learning to sail or advanced sailing/navigating and getting resources that are helpful for me?
Hey Phil- it sounds like you’re more a practical learner, and sailing is all about the practical, so I think you’ll be fine! You may need to spend extra time on the theory if you’re doing a sailing course, and it is important to do navigation and tidal calculations but it may simply be that you do better learning that theory onboard rather than in a classroom- which is far better anyway. I’m sure you’ll be fine! Get out on that water 😊😊
@@sailingrubyrose Maybe have a look at Deckee... I use it in WA, but not sure how it compares with what you guys have used elsewhere. Probably a bit late now that you're heading off to Vietnam, but you may cruise back to Australia with the new boat...
Great video. The only point I would make regards the BOM. You will get a much more accurate forecast by licking your finger, sticking it in the air and having a look outside.
Can't be safe cruising the big bad world's angry oceans, hostile environs & distant & dangerous lands where hazards exist round every corner in a flimsy little plastic sailboat with a 55 hp diesel and some solar panels. The average sailor is doomed. Stay home & watch videos.
In a world where everything is online, IMHO, books will never be replaced. The look, feel. and smell of a 📖 is unmatched. Nice blog, thanks.
I very much enjoy your insight and advice, even that of the sunning seal you mentioned at the start: very smart and realistic. Best of the best!
"Terysa Technical Tuesday" needs to be a regular thing! 🙂

Sounds good!
here here 👍🏼
Terysa, Very Nice Job at filling for your man. Superb advice on cruising. Thanks Jim Rodgers.
Excellent video! Thank you Terysa!! Fair winds to you both!!
AWESOME Job Terysa Nick Could NOT Have done it Better THANK you for Sharing

Forever beautiful capture
What a nice video my dear. It’s just superb.
Excellent background view with your super post.
Technical Tuesday's that I can understand, Ha! Thanks for taking me along guys.
Excellent video!
Well Done T!! Use um all Brother!! Good Advice!!
Well done Teryse. That was very well done with lots of great info. You rock.

Thank you - This is super useful, I have only sailed locally but I would like to start cruising further afield 🙏

Another informative "Terysa Technical Tuesday". Thanks for all the great tips on planning passages. Fair winds and following seas Ruby Rose.

Thanks Mark- we’re definitely going to be doing some sail-based TT’s this year. Thanks!
Tech Tuesday on Monday. lol.. Happy Nude Year, that's for the relaxer.
Hehe it’s a Tuesday here in Australia! 😊
Excellent job... Thank you
Windy, Predictwind, MetBob in the Pacific 👍

It's fun reading comments before you watch a video. I'm really wondering how cryptocurrency and being pregnant relates to passage planning.
Lol I know 🤨

Interesting vid T ...answered several queries I had.....cheers and Happy New Year to you and the boy Nick 👍🍸
Cheers Arthur
Very well thought out and enjoyable video. Keep it up.
Thanks again!

Looking at the green vegetation and short sleeves!
It is -6 F and we had 5 inches of snow yesterday.
I'd go pretty much anywhere it was warm!

Oh dear! Keep warm if you can 😊
Good resource video! Happy New Year!

Awesome video. Thank you.
navily is so gorgeous - I used it a lot in the med and can highly recommend it.

I totally agree. I always buy the hard copies.
Great video! You do an excellent job with tech Tuesday.
🙏
Nice video. Long intro. Starts at 2:30
Happy New Year!! Great video. I am always looking for some good reads! Thanks for the suggestions.
Thanks mate!
Happy 2022 🥂🥂
🥂
A simple "Thank You". Most useful information. A question on money, When cruising which is the cost effective way to get money from your bank account?
Prepaid cash card. We use FairFX but there are thousands of others
Hi, May I ask which company your having your yacht built with over in Vietnam. Obviously there the best quality and least expensive. Great information!
Hi Ruby Rose!
Where do you purchase paper charts?
And cruising guides?
Is it generally online or local shops?
good info
Great video that was very informative. My only constructive feedback is the background music was to loud. It felt like we were in a bar where a band was playing and we were trying to carry on a conversation.
Thanks mate
That photo of Sauzon was taken in winter from the look of it, I've never seen this little boats in there during sailing season.
Yep, it’s a lot busier in summer for sure!
Great episode, but I suggest either purely instrumental music while talking or even no music at all. Especially at the beginning the vocals are quite distracting.
Sorry Nick. We rather like Terysa doing the show!

Maybe on of these days you can sail RR2 into the Gulf of Thailand. We live in Hua Hin right near the coast...... :)

How much do you guys spend on anchorage fees per a year?
Being that you're in Vietnam, I thought you were doing this episode because Nick was camping at the doors of the Seawind factory.😂
Hahah we’re still waiting to get to Vietnam mate. Hopefully within a couple of weeks!
@@sailingrubyrose I must've misunderstood Terysa. Still time to get some camping gear.

I hate upfront comments...... I really do....
BUT. Happy New Year!!!!
HNY!
@@sailingrubyrose HNYEEEE to you 2 (talk like a pirate new year)
book works offline and should always be at least a backup...
So, have you found an equivalent to Active Captain for cruising in Australia and Asia?
You can still use it but it’s not as useful. No, I haven’t found anything in AU.
@@sailingrubyrose Maybe have a look at Deckee... I use it in WA, but not sure how it compares with what you guys have used elsewhere. Probably a bit late now that you're heading off to Vietnam, but you may cruise back to Australia with the new boat...
put the boat on the hard and never leave :DDDDDDDD
Congrats on the Baby. Its a boy.
"Tech Ukelele" next Tuesday ?
😆
Great video. The only point I would make regards the BOM. You will get a much more accurate forecast by licking your finger, sticking it in the air and having a look outside.
Looool
I use Bom forecasts multiple times a day, and find them to be reliable in this area down to about 30 mins accuracy
