Discover the ancient arts of traditional navigation through a unique apprenticeship, and in so doing--discover the self.
Webasto ThermoPro 90 Review.
An excellent and recommended furnace. While all brands "work" Webasto is far, far easier to service, and they all need service at about 1000-1500 hours of run time. Often this is simply a cleaning, but with other types that can be unduly complicated.

A useful piece of gear for high latitude sailors. Don't worry about fuel availability. It's not any more of a problem than oil filters, wire, rigging bits. It comes in the mail, and it's precious. Use it wisely.

Direction and the Compass: Lesson 2
Просмотров 1134 года назад
Use of the compass, as derived from the magical practice of lodestone, is essential to our view of Navigation from a Western perspective. It is worth noting that it is a relatively late addition to the toolset. Columbus himself, for example, did not use it even in 1492. The primary skill of the Navigator is is Intuition. Becoming conversant in the use of the compass can enhance our Intuition.

Learn to be familiar with the most essential navigational skill, to be in possession of an innate sense of human scale distance.
Return Line: I assume the return line from the injectors goes back into the main tank. So 2.5 gallons will last less than expected by normal engine fuel consumption rates. Return line fuel is as hot, coming from the engine. These are considerations I don't see in most sailboat day tanks.
Everything I wanted to know without wasting time. Thanks much.
Hi - thanks so much for this video. I’ve installed one but I’m getting some quite bad groaning noise from the circulation pump. No failure detected, and no loss of performance. Any tips on reducing circulation pump noise?
I want one.for my ev
Hi starpath, thanks for the informative video. I’ve got on and it’s run a less than 1000hrs but it’s been installed for 5 years, I’ve got a six flash fault, temparture sensor, at the first stage of start up. Around 6 seconds after turning on. With your experience which temperature sensor would you replace first?
Great video. Very helpful. I recently installed one of these on my boat. Very interested in what the maintenance procedure is. You mention every 1,000 hours, what do you recommend to do every 1,000 hours? How do you clean it? What spare parts do you recommend carrying?
Mostly pull the burner carefully and decoke it. Be very careful to not harm the steel felt. I often will soak the unit in diesel or even a dip in acetone will help. So can build up on the fins of the exchanger too and this can be cleaned with a vac and a spare tooth brush.
When you're lost, REALLY lost you wind up going around in circles and everything looks the same. Pass a fire circle 1 hr ago, is that the same one or a different one? Pass trail sign YOU MADE, is that mine? If you don't panic you can put the puzzle pieces together and come up with a plan.
Hey I would be really interested in how your total set up looks. I have a dickison heater at the moment and I am not happy with it and I was looking into buying this one. Could you maybe show your set up in a video or get in touch with me ?I would be super great full
This heat runs about 60 feet of registers, and easily keeps the boat(45 feet) to - 10c. Unlike the pot stoves, these can be used under sail.
Hello, can you please tell me where to connect the Power Cables? Thank you.

Are you able to swap the diesel out for kerosene to avoid the additive problem?
Yes, I often run at least mostly kerosene in the winter.
So even a to do list is a map of sorts?
It can definitely be framed that way.
Never thought of it in that sort of way. Imagine someone going to the store with no list, going by rough memory. It may so happen they'll forget to pick up something they initially intended on the outset, or buy something they already had, or maybe even just impulsively. In effect they are lost, even though they may know they layout of the store.
Is that the Viking compass you have for your photo. I think Bjork has that tattooed on one of her arms.
It is, and it is very common. It is worth looking into what it means.
Did you say the day tank is "illegal" up where you are? Why so?
Concerned that a leak will end up in the bilge and pumped overboard.
@@soulcatchercharters5008 The authorities should be more concerned with Cargo and Cruise Ships anchored a short way offshore that empty their blige's containing all sorts of nasties, which the tides then bring in to the local waters, than picking on small sailboats.

I want to say an extra thank you to you sir for imparting this knowledge I'm truly grateful to you . I'm probably 10 years older than you and I've always wanted to learn a little about navigation. I'm driving out to California early Tuesday morning and I will be mindful of my direction
I appreciate that. A lot more to follow.
Day tanks are fairly common here for yachts and other machinery, for the same reasons you talk about.
Interesting stuff. I haven't done much work on boats but i worked as a mechanic when i was young so i was able to understand this information. Thanks .
The main reason I install these on yachts is to support the bilge pump in the case of a power interrupt. It's very powerful for that purpose. UPDATE: So it's definitely functioning on spec. I am using approximately 50-60 amp hours on average running lights and furnace, and with no other power inputs such as the solar array the Efoy keeps up easily with an average daily run time of 9 hours, and .4 liter of consumption. Even if I were anchored out the whole of the winter, it would be unlikely to have 30-50 days a year that were THAT severe, with no solar input or elsewise. It looks as three m10 cartridges should run the whole of the winter with no hiccups.
How much wate+CO2 doest that pump out? Does ventilation become in issue?
@@JanEringa8k It's nearly indetectable. As it's been described, and is realistic, it's about the same a sleeping child.
Are you getting much extra heat out of it when running? While it is unlikely it would need to be run in summer. If you had to do it though, would the heat need to be ducted away?
@quasimandias So way less than a fridge, that is impressive, the energy conversion must be fairly efficient.
@quasimandias About 30 percent.
Thanks for sharing . I find this stuff very interesting.
It's how I live, simple as that!
I did this experiment in a dark room and I seem to be able to turn back to the north wall. I wasn't able to do it in a large room I will try it somewhere else if I can. I was curious if you ever looked into whether blind people have sharpened this particular skill?
This is essential for sight impaired people certainly, but also divers, pilots, sailors, etc. The reason it is easier in a small room is that you are able to use your hearing. Try to make that instinct conscious.

Interesting phenomenon, I hadn't heard of it before.Will see if I can observe it. And if it is possible to see it in the sky, does it also occur looking at water?
Probably, but generally water is a pretty bright and dynamic surface and would be hard to see against.
Previous experience with marching drills certainly makes this easier. Surprising how close it is possible to get.
I just got done doing this experiment it was hard to find a big open space. I found one on the way to my next job .I missed my quarter by only 6 feet. I'll do it again at the weekend if it's not snowing. very interesting experiment
Nice! Making progress! How does it feel? Be sure to think about that.
@@soulcatchercharters5008 I did not have my compass with me but I did know what direction North is. I was pretty happy with myself
@@soulcatchercharters5008 I was surprised to see how large a 50 Paces by 50 Paces square is .
Expect this exercise to be difficult.
Thanks Quasi. I will do this exercise tonight.
This one is hard. It will take some time. But without training it you'd just go in circles in the dark on a sailboat..
Very interesting. I've never counted my steps before. I do, however, know that I consistently walk 1km every 10 minutes, usually down to the minute or minute in a half. I counted today, based on the ballpark of 1.6km to a mile on the map, about 915 strides unladen and 943 strides back, laden with a knapsack full of groceries. It's also a bit snowy and fairly icy, so my stride length wasn't consistent. I'll definitely keep doing it to get a better average.
That is interesting to know. There is a stretch I walk to work that is ~800m, I have done it twice and both times got around 460 strides, so about 920 for a mile. I thought that I might have the distance wrong to get that low, but if you are doing around the same then probably not. Cheers.
That's not a crazy number by any stretch if you're on the tallish side especially, and not carrying much. I've walked probably 5000 miles or so carrying a pack so one gets a really grind gate established after a while, but experience can teach one how to factor a bit.
@@leo169 Good to know... especially that I didn't miscount twice in a row! I'm definitely a power walker at an average height of about 5'10" ~ 5'11". After this a mile seems even shorter.
The compass tells you nothing about where you are going. Man that line is fantastic.
These perspectives work both externally and internally.
I Went walking again this morning
This was going to prove a little harder for me to measure my steps over a mile. I live remotely in a mountainous region and far from a road with markers. I do have a zigzag cutting that has been partially cleared down the side of the mountain i live on. It takes you from the top where my house is into the valley bellow. It was going to be the best terrain in regard to even strides and a reasonable pace. I knew from past experience my pace of 5km/h. I have walked heaps in my life and this pace I am very familiar with. So with the steep incline and decline of the zigzag and it not being one mile i would have to go up and down a few times to reach the mile. There is a bit of undergrowth in this area too which would slow me down. So I calculated a pace of around 4.5 km/h taking into consideration the terrain. As such to reach the 1.6km or one mile i set my timer for 21.5 minutes to have a rough indication of distance. Going down the zigzag took 200 steps and to retrace those steps coming back up took 240. The timer of 21.5 minutes ran out when i had taken 1044 steps in total. I am curious for the rest of the week to do this and see the variation from today's results. This wasn't exact but I am confident i would be within a 10% tolerance and maybe even as close as 5%. This can be verified later with the assistance of the GPS. In regard to the count I was OK with that. My mind did not wander too much. Every time i got too 100 steps i would restart at one and lifted a finger to keep the 100 counts already counted.
That sort of thing will give you similar results, and any of these exercises can be adapted to get the desired end result, which is a conscious connection between distance and stride.
@@soulcatchercharters5008 As a side note. It was bloody nice to get some air pumping through the lungs again.
@@Bb2b75 That's a deliberate part the practice too...
Virgil is about to guide us through the Inferno boys. This series is going to be fantastic.
Better Virgil than Charon as the boatman!
I will set out on my mile in the morning. :)
Ohh man you nailed it, I couldn't keep track of the count . I did buy a good hand held compass during the summer a Suunto MC-2
Yes, many with that, and it's scary to discover, because that lack of attention obviously bleeds over in other domains. You'll fix it here. That's a great compass. Good choice.
@@soulcatchercharters5008 Thanks , I'll go out first thing in the morning and try again.
@@kwaichangcaine8234 This is why the ancients beat drums and chant.
@@soulcatchercharters5008 Yes and the funny thing is I bought a bodrán back in October and I've been having trouble keeping time .
I'm looking forward to this
Thanks, I hope to pass it on. It's been huge for me.
