Congratulations! We did it last year starting in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with our Nordhavn N52-72 "Fortuna Star" and are currently in Opua, New Zealand getting ready to head out back north to Fiji and beyond ........... Hope to meet you somewhere - the world is small. Enjoy your cruising life! Cheers
Fantastic! What specifically is the Microsoft Navigation Computer? Is it a special hardware unit custom made to run the applications that support your navigation interface? A TimeZero product?
The computer is built specifically on Microsoft OS for using as a navigation unit. It has multiple USB ports, for the various connections, plus HDMI, serial ports. It is made in Florida but not a TimeZero product, it just runs TimeZero. But I had the electronics guy add Open CPN on it as well. It does not have a connection to the web or internet.
Great video, interesting and informative. I did not realize all that was involved when traveling by ship. I look forward to seeing more educational videos of your adventures and travel. Thank You and Be Safe!
Great Video. If you don't mine saying what did the fuel bladders and associated fittings and hose cost you? What was the total gallons of fuel onboard up departure?
@@MVKariwaN62Thanks. That is way more than I would have guessed. In one of your other videos you thought you would arrived with about 1100 gallons on board. So how many gallons did you use on the trip?
