Sailing OFF THE CHART - Finding Isolated Islands - Ep.87

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 19 лис 2020
  • Sailing in a poorly charted area of Indonesia not mentioned in guide books means finding a new way to navigate. Our ability to seek out and find remote isolated anchorages has been transformed by the use of satellite images for navigation. In this episode we share how using satellite images and eyeball navigation makes it possible to find remote un-spoilt locations to explore on the edge of the Indian Ocean. Destinations which are not in any travel guides and quite possibly have never been visited by sailing yachts before.
    How to navigate without charts: Using satellite images to navigate instead of a chart is becoming more common in the cruising world. Navigating via a photo and what you can see with your eyes may sound daunting at first to those used to well charted waters, but once you get used to this new navigation method it opens up whole new areas for exploration.
    We are a British couple who set off from England in 2016 to fulfill our dream of sailing around the world on our 37ft sail boat, Florence. Along the way we share the live aboard lifestyle with the highs and lows of travelling around the world by boat, our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean and off the grid.

    FINALLY! I have caught up! I've had your videos playing during lockdown whilst I've been working from home for the past 6 months. It's very soothing to have on in the background. What a joy it has been watching you both. You're English and in your 30's which has been a big draw for me as it's like watching myself do this. You're not 'over-produced' like some of the other sailing vlogs (LaVagabond/ Delos). You're very chilled and it's all about sailing which is great! Keep it up guys. I really feel like I should pay you for allowing me to live vicariously through your videos - I'll visit your patreon page now!

      We hope to sail the West Coast of Scotland on our return. It's definitely not cold here but it does rain a lot here too (that's what has made it possible for us to survive off rain water for the last 8 months). We try to choose the best weather to get out and explore but be aware there is a lot of time (like right now) where we are sheltering from the wind and rain too.

    Wow - you are up late! I'd just finished watching your last vid when this popped up about 3:00am Singapore time!
    I often think of you there in isolation bay, wondering if the storms and lightning I watch approaching us here on the 15th floor end up unloading on you a few hours later. They are pretty dramatic here, when we are insde our nice solid apartment, but I remember bein woken up by an overhead storm in a 35 footer in Greece and that was pretty exciting so hats off to you. At least you aren't going to run out of drinking water!
    Glad to see you seem to be enjoying things again, with a slightly different focus - make the best of it, the rest of the world is a mad at the moment. We went back home to the UK in March for one week, but got stuck there staying with the mother-in-law (who was very kindl!) for 3 months. Except you couldn't see any friends or travel or go out - at leas the weather was nice. We got back to Singapore in July and had to isolate in a hotel room for 2 weeks, and only left the room once to go for a covid swab.
    So - enjoy yourselves there on those lovely beaches, enjoying the best that mother nature has to offer, and hopefully being able to still keep moving around now and keep exploring!
    Fair winds and thanks for the hugely enjoyable escapism of your travelogue for those like me that don't get out on the water enough!

    • @SailingYachtFlorence
      @SailingYachtFlorence  3 роки тому +1

      You are right, lightening is the stuff of sailors nightmares! We are lucky that we don't get as much of it here as there is in Singapore. We are also lucky that UA-cam lets us schedule videos as we don't have good internet often enough to keep our posting regular so it allows us to post at the same time every two weeks. We hope all is well with you in Singapore and you are able to get out on the water yourself soon.

  • @kenamick
    @kenamick 2 роки тому +1

    Rolling seas at anchor...I have eliminated that situation on my vessel. Typically, when the current has me heading north, hanging behind my anchor and the wind and swells might be coming from the east or west, it becomes rolling. But, using a nylon bridle to absorb the shock of the anchor is good. Pulling the bridle towards the lee side of my vessel with an additional line to a midship cleat causes my bow to head more into the swells and dampens most, if not all, of the rolling from side to side. Give it a try!

    Plenty of 'Wow!' moments again guys, good work! Of course it's all well and good having satellite imagery to help find where to go but, unless I'm missing something, you're not able to map your GPS position on those images. I'm guessing you still have to do some creative navigation to make sure your position is where you think you are on the satellite pictures? However you do it, you're pretty accomplished sailors :)

      Hi Dean, The Ovital app does allow us to show our GPS position over the satellite images, these days we never enter an anchorage without using this technique. So we are perhaps not as accomplished as you think, just cheating by using technology! ;-)

    Beautiful photography! You guys are blessed. I was watching a friend´s channel called "Sailing Into Freedom", who has unfortunately been struck by lightning and is actually fighting to get his boat to safety. Great channel, check it out! I hope you guys are prepared for such circumstance. All the best!

      We had some very close lightening a couple of nights ago. There is very little you can do unfortunately, it's the stuff of sailors nightmares.

    Hi Guys. Lovely video. Thank you. Do you know the make and model of the catamaran that you sailed in company with? We have a Grainger 40 and I can’t quite tell if that’s one too. Cheers. Simon.

    @18:30; Hi guys. I’m very curious as to which programme you’re using for your satellite images, (Google maps, or some other?) And also, you mentioned earlier in this episode, that you can overlay the satellite images over the top of your charts. Is this straightforward to do? Also, which navigation software package are you primarily relying on for your chart plotters? (Navionics, etc...) and do you have a secondary, independent navigation software suite?
    I am still enthralled by your channel and absolutely crave all of the sailing footage!!! I’m heading back to sea in a couple of weeks, but unfortunately due to COVID, it will only be on domestic voyages and not through Indonesia.
    I look forward to your response, until then, take care and enjoy the cruise in company! ;-) Cheers, Mike

    I know cost is an issue but I feel like you could greatly benefit from a small engine for your dinghy. If you were in any kind of hazardous conditions it would be such a struggle for you to make it safely to land. I realize things can happen when there is no land in sight, and engines increase fuel needs but still, maybe something to consider? Also, you guys make an awesome couple. Love your videos and sending hugs from the US!

      Thanks, we do actually have a little 2.5Hp dinghy engine which we use when travelling greater distances or carrying fuel/water for Florence. If the distances are short though we just prefer to row.
