Ep 60 Sailing 'North' in my new boat

- Опубликовано: 23 апр 2023
- I provide a tour of my new boat, an RM 890+ named 'Jenna' after my two daughters. I cast off lines for destinations North, and cross some AIS equipped fishing buoys along the way, before reaching my first intermediate destination of Dingle Ireland.
Welcome back Patrick, we’ve missed you! Your adventures are an inspiration to us all
Much appreciated Alastair. Fair winds.
Dito! So good to see you Patrick. Beautiful new ride too. ❤
Fantastic to see you back out on the water, Patrick. Love the new boat!
And a lovely ship she is! Good to see you back Patrick. Fair winds to you and Jenna!
Welcome back Henk. Thanks.
What a beautiful vessel. I think the size suits a single handed sailor much better than the old one. I hope it makes life easy and safe.
Welcome back Patrick. I have missed "our" adventures together. I guess we are all looking forward to the next episode. 😊
Glad to see you back... In 2021 you inspired me to go sailing again and I can now proudly say that I have got 5,000 miles solo under the belt.. So thanks again!
You've made my day Hans. Bravo, and thanks.
Very impressive Hans!
Hey - what a treat. One of the few "real" sailors is back at it!
You have a lovely new boat, Patrick. Great visibility, esp for single-handed sailing.
Many thanks Helen. My first impressions on this boat are very favorable. I'll give more feedback later.
Of all the sailing channels on RUclips, yours is my favorite! Inspiring and calm. Thank you!
Far too kind Eric. Many thanks.
Wonderful to see you back. Looking forward to this next adventure and the observations and reflections in this new boat.
Thanks Paul. I'll give updates on the experience as I put a few more miles under the keel.
I was beginning to worry about you and almost called search and rescue! Great to have you back!!
A cross-laminated plywood boat. At least here in Finland there have been such boats since 1970. Today they are rare. There is only 1 flaw in the construction material that is worth remembering, never break the frame either by yourself or because of someone else. Repairing cross-laminated plywood is really laborious, or even impossible. Fortunately, you are sailing in deep waters and not here in the Finnish archipelago. it is worth coming here, the archipelago is absolutely wonderful and there are plenty of service ports, but there are also natural ports if you want to be at peace. The sea freezes in winter, so we docked the boats, but from May to September there is great sailing weather
Finland is on my bucket list. Perhaps adfter the war......
Beautiful yacht. She looks sporty.
A man who flew carrier deck landings at night in combat is nervous of the TSS shipping in the dark. Tells you all you need to know about paying attention at sea.
The way I see it, any venture with risk, that can lead to one’s demise, is enough to make me nervous
@@ianb4801 for sure. I think far too many people are far too casual about such things.
Yeah, the sea can be quite unforgiving if you take things for granted.... Cheers Nick.
@@patricklaine6958 As we all learned early in our NavAir careers (USMC here) is that complacency kills.
@@williamdykes2750 Especially if you flew Harriers Bill. AF here. All wingmen have checked in. Now lets see where our leader will take us.
Happy sailing! Always a pleasure to follow your adventures.
Great to see you back Patrick.
When the title said "North", I got excited and thought you're coming north, as in Finland. I assume you know Laine is a Finnish surname. If you ever have the chance to experience the Finnish Archipelago between Åland and Turku in the summer, you should. It comprises thousands of islands, small island communities - a world of its own, unlike anything you'll see anywhere else in the world. Completely unique.
I was tempted to go there, but due to the conflicts in the region decided to wait until a calmer period. Maybe next year ! :-) In the meantime, I was entertained by Norway's 325,000 islands.
What a wonderful surprise! I seriously missed your videos. Thank you for adding another one to the collection. Your journeys definitely helped me to decide that I will buy a sailing boat after retiring. Unfortunately in Germany we work until 67, so for me it is another five years to wait.
I happily will add another word for the "white caps" encyclopedia: in German language they're called foam crowns (Schaumkronen).
I wish you a nice trip and happy return.
Foam crowns. Love it. In Sweden it is geese, and in Bulgaria, rabbits. :-)
Nice to see you back Patrick. Fair winds.
"Things don't naturally roll off the back of the boat there," said the sailor who had to replace his vanished bottle of priming diesel. ; -)
Good to have you back, sir! And thanks so much for taking us on your new adventure!
Great to see you back and your adventures Patrick. Lovely new boat too. Fair winds.
Nice to see you back at sea. Congratulations with the new boat. She looks great.
Welcome back Mads. I am still amazed by your epic journey at the start of Covid. Fair winds to you.
@@patricklaine6958 Thank you - also for continuing to be such an inspiration.
Great to see you back on the water. Thanks for having us on board again.
Thank you for sharing this here. I always enjoy tuning into your newest post. 🌞🌴⛵️
You've got a another new boat!
You're going through boats faster than my dad goes through wives.
Absolutely love that. When I was working in finance, it was often said (and statistically very true) that people changed spouses more often than they changed banks. :-)
Too funny AA!
You’ve got a whole lot of energy and confidence. Single handing I wouldn’t want running back stays that need adjusting.
Yeah, im not a big fan of running back stays either, but most of the racing boats have them now due to sail shape.
Good to see you again Patrick and hello to your new friend, Jenna 😊.
She's looking clean and sleek.
Great tour around your new friend.
Looks like you are heading in for a Guiness or two. 🍺🤝👍
Ahh, the Guiness...... let's not go there. ;-)
Twin keel reminiscent of the westerly Tempest , orca chewable rudders and sans Bidet🦤more cracking videos from the Maestro🐬🐬🐬🤠
Great to see you again Patrick! Hopefully, those wings remain unbroken so that you can continue to sail North unimpeded!!!
Well spotted GP (my wife couldn't understand what I said). Macca would chuckle at that. Fair winds my friend.
Welcome back Patrick, your a great inspiration to me. I had the pleasure of bumping into you 4 years ago at Pwfellhi just as I was about to start the Baltimore Jester Challenge. I’m also heading North to 61.50N this summer so hopefully paths will cross again. Fair winds.
I remember meeting you there (at the club restaurant), but you modestly did not tell me you were about to do the challenge. I wanted to participate also, but the boat I had at time was 40', so didn't really meet the criteria. Bravo to you.
The American French fast jet pilot is sailing again on insane adventures in the most sensible way. Bon Voyage Patrick.
And having a great time doing it! Many thanks.
Boat looks clean! Congrats
good to have you back
Great new boat -- glad you decided to bring your camera on this voyage, and as a result added us as crew. Glad to be aboard. I had not heard of AIS on fishing lines ... sounds like a great idea. I have seen AIS targets on bridges and buoys so it's no surprise that additional uses are being found for them.
While discussing AIS I thought I'd tell you something I found out a few years ago, and have confirmed that it is still the case. Raymarine MFD's (we have an Axiom Pro) have a limit of 100 targets -- displaying the closest 100 it detects. On San Francisco Bay there are many AIS units and easily more than 100 near me. I listen to VTS (vessel traffic service) while in the central Bay and if I hear of a ship that might be an issue for me I look for it on the AIS. Sometimes they don't show up because there are more than 100 AIS targets nearer to me. But large ships travel fast and .... anyway, on my latest communications with Raymarine a couple weeks ago they did say that they are looking at increasing that limit. Couldn't be soon enough for me. Apparently other systems also have limits, read of one that is 240 targets.
You very likely know of this limit, but thought I'd mention it in case you hadn't run into it yet. The mention is buried in the middle of the Lighthouse manual.
I was not aware of the ais limit. Thanks. An important consideration if you sail in very dense maritime waters. Cheers.
Great to see you back!
Love the colour of your boat!
So pleased to see you back.
