Presented like a true captain, captain.. The emergency services should give you some good credit for passing on all that valuable info. You could almost issue a warranty on it. Nice one, Jamie and Princess..
These prepping for a passage videos are so informative. Simple ways to be safe. And backup plans for back up plans. You have a great shipmate. Jupiter is a beautiful vessel. Thank you for doing the not so fun video. but most important so we continue to have fun.
Excellent series! I learned quite a bit. The electronic section was great and also how you manage the fresh water. When I get my boat I'll have to watch this again.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter Keep em coming, I have 2 years or so before I get a boat, by then I want to be an encyclopedia! Till then I'm an armchair captain sailing in the sailaway simulator on my desk top! I like your metal Cat a lot.
Thanks Chile... I think i'll put together a vid on building Jupiter... although it will be mostly photos... there's a few people interested in the build.
I watch multiple channels to prepare myself for the journey ahead of us and this series was one of the most informative I've seen thus far, really nice work guys...thank you so much for taking the time to do this, it is greatly appreciated by all of us I am sure.
Love your work guys, one day I will be a mumby captain. Thank you for the Chanel you are feeding my dream. Keep up the awesome work. Hope one day we will catch up for a sun downer Oxoxo
Canada here. Excellent video Captain. The most important info for both the harness and the life vest is , always use the crotch strap ! ! That way it wont, or , you wont , slide right out.
Aye m8’s, sweet summary. And as said before - probably the best way to prepare is to keep up #1 and #2. Thnx for all your efforts making this series and sharing it with us. 🙏🏽
@@SailingLifeonJupiter Were you watering them straight from the water maker? Maybe they suffered the same fate you warn against- no nutrients in the water? I heard on another channel that their water-maker water killed their plants. Had to use collected rain water. Also, bring them inside during a passage to avoid the salt spray!
Really like that tip for making the tether, definitely going to change ours. We have the tethers with the clips on both ends, and they bang around on the deck when moving around. Your design is much more simple, less chance of coming unattached, much better. We have the same Onwa MOB beacons. Onwa is a well established AIS/GPS product manufacturer.
Oh nice to hear about Onwa... I was a little skeptical about it at first.. But for $95 it was worth a try... tested in a bucket of seawater for a few hours... And continued to work.
Just found your channel and really appreciated this series as I am in the process of learning for our own big trip. Thank you so much for sharing. I look forward to catching up with the rest of your content. 😀
Jamie does an excellent job of covering any safety issues and explaining electrical issues. Particularly liked the demonstration of creating a line to tether onto. Further, disclosing the life raft update $2-3K costs every 3 years or so makes me like the Portland Pudgy hardshell dinghy because it can be used as a life raft with overhead cover and sail. Thanks. By the way, have you ever seen a two piece nesting dinghy made out of aluminum? I have never seen one.
Hey thanks for the praise UUBrahman! Appreciated... That Pudgy sounds good, so long as it has good positive buoyancy and is stable... The short 3 year service is due to the food stuffs and water replacement and flares expiry... So we will stretch ours to 5 years, and make sure to have our own food, water jerries and flares in the grab bag.... Nope never seen a nesting ally ding.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter I just realized it would be difficult to design an aluminum dinghy with adequate flotation-probably not doable as thick aluminum would be needed for welding and flotation for that weight would make challenging. I like your dinghy's looks as Highfields are ubiquitous. The Portland Pudgy has between 6 to 9 inches of internal hull airspace that store masts, sails, etc.
Great job very informative. We plan to leave Cape Town in Dec 2021 and will be following close to your routing albeit via St Helena. Thank you for the checklist and Golden rules with a bonus.
Hi Jamie. Really very cool, honest and down to earth blog for Jupiter 2. Been watching heaps, very well done. I have a question ? What made you ultimately choose a Mumby ? Are they noisy due to the aluminum construction ? Thanks Glen
Cheers Glen.. Tks for watching. I searched the 2nd hand market for a few years with a budget of about 250k usd, and for that I could only get a well used, small ex charter cat, which was 90%of the market... They are great for a holiday apartment, but not for blue water sailing. I wanted a safe, performance cruiser... An outremer would be great, but far beyond my budget. When I finally found the Mumby it ticked all the boxes and more! Being aluminium, gives us a lot of security in big seas, reefs and lightening...though hopefully not all at once! I had this built new with my own customizations for about 300k. The hulls, topsides and ceilings/decks are insulated with an inch of foam to reduce noise and extreme temperatures... So no, i don't think it's noisier than other boats.... Ill be putting out a vid on the construction of Jupiter2 shortly... Stay tuned.
Something I think is important, especially for fast multihulls is the orientation that the crew sleeps. Keeping ones feet towards the bow is a safety issue many overlook. If the boat hits an object (container, buoy, log, dead whale, another boat, reef or even heavy kelp) and has rapid deceleration, a sleeping/resting crewmember will likely slid forward in their bunk. If the head is towards the bow, the result could be a broken neck, cracked skull or a concussion. On a slower monohull, it probably doesn't make much difference but faster racing mono's and most decent multihull's can easily go over 10 kts, often much faster. Our legs are far more durable than our heads, well normally at least - Just my 2 cents.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter I just remember passing some big items on the water, for instance a huge log at least 60' long and 5' diameter more than a 1000 miles from any land. Luckily it was daylight and we were moving slow but we came within 100' of it. We were on a monohull but it was still capable of mid-teens and hitting that would have stopped the boat immediately, and most likely sunk it. With all the marine growth, it had to weigh much more than the 54' boat. A friend and I were remembering that on another race about a year later when we were doing mid-teens on my tri in the dark. We swore we'd always sleep feet first, just in case. I try to encourage others to as well, especially if they are on fast boats.
Yeah yeah we know.... With stores closed in lockdown in Cape Town and no flights delivering amazon...and same scenario in Caribbean its hard to get one... Princess has crocheted one now!

thank to share your video and your sailing experience greetings from Uruguay South America
Gday Uruguay.. Thanks for watching.
Excellent series! I learned quite a bit. The electronic section was great and also how you manage the fresh water. When I get my boat I'll have to watch this again.
Always good to see a hack or two. I like the climbing gear options on tethers and Jack lines.
Ya, I'm a hackaholic... Thanks for watching

Thank you very much for your very useful and beautiful explanation and application. may your wind be easy, stay safe
I watched all 4 parts. Great Job! I learned some really good safety things which I will share.
Best cruiser’s video
Thanks so much Ruben
The most important part on all the topics. Safety gears and procedures! Nice vid guys. Keep up the great work 👍👏
Tks Melody
Thank you for your help and taking time to explain all the 10 tools of safety at sea thank you
No worries Ben.. Cheers

Gotta get your greens...tks Brissy girl
How does she keep them alive in such a salt environment?
Not very well actually Denise... They only lasted a few months.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter perhaps you could make her a teeny tiny greenhouse 💝
