    My son who has, all of a sudden, shown much interest in the the Swedish lifestyle, told me that they have no sense of humour and a social skillset that suits him well, avoiding passersby. Well, I find it to be quite the contrary with you guys. Very humorous and entertaining!!

    Congratulations on the longest passage, and thank you for taking the time to publish videos. I am particularly curious to see how high she can point in various wind conditions. Although I agree with your strategy under these circumstances, it doesn't make the best VMG to point high always. I think the flicker is the hz on the camera, though I am not sure. Furthermore, can I humble suggest you add a multimplexer to your NMEA backbone so that you have a laptop backup for navigation, have a look at one of our recent videos why. KR. Crew of Carry on.

    • @bushpoint
      @bushpoint  2 роки тому +2

      Thank you. For the pointing we would guess that 42 apparent is good maybe down to 38 but then probably loose to much speed. But we have to try it more in different winds before we can say.
      We have been told that tacking is punishment so we try to avoid it 😃
      For the computer we have one as back up with a separate GPS and Open CPN and all the worlds charts. Kind of like it that they are not connected. And then all other phones and iPads that you can navigate with. We are also trying to learn celestial but we are not there yet. 😀
      We will have a look. Fair winds ⛵️

If you ever make your way down to the southern tip of Africa I will take you to the bush where you can enjoy Africa’s amazing abundance of wildlife.

      Our home in Sweden is on a island.
      And our house is on a pojnt on this island that probably had a lot of bushes long time a go and is called Bushpoint in Swedish.
      To day there are houses instead of bushes and we live on Bushpoint road in swedish.
      The boat is our second home and then it is Bushpoint :-) We have bean called on the VHF as Bushwacker LOL.

      Yes, so far we had no problem just the 2 of us and we write we have managed to get all the way up to Svalbard/Spitsbergen. We think we could sail single handed, it would only be difficult with "take off and landing" :-)

    Nice sail guys, she looks super comfortable in those seas and wind. Was there any slamming of the hull in the waves? She seemed pretty gentle through the waves to me. I would be happy for that doghouse too, super safe and comfortable. Dartmouth is a great place. Andy UK

    Boreal is my definite dream boat. I'm wondering about the upwind angles. You are trucking along fine on 53 AWA, but can you push it past 40 AWA or, say, 45 true?

    • @bushpoint

    • @bushpoint
      @bushpoint  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you. Even though she rides smoothly, she is "heaving" so we would not sleep in the master cabin on passage. You will probably see our sea berth in the next video, crossing the channel again.

  • @normanrubenis7283
    @normanrubenis7283 2 роки тому

    Stunning boat, just came across your channel. Screen flicker is probably due to a too fast shutter speed, dry dropping to below 1/50 as this will be below the htz of the screen

    • @bushpoint
      @bushpoint  2 роки тому

      Welcome and thank you for the input.
      We have found it on one of our cameras.
      So hopefully we will avoid it in the future but, no promises :-)

  • @MichaelMarko
    @MichaelMarko 2 роки тому

    About the flickering screen, it might the shutter speed of your camera. If it is then it’s too fast. Later when the screen was not flickering the light was lower and so your shutter speed slowed down. I guess your camera is automatic. If you can’t adjust it then you just have to live with it.

      @MichaelMarko 2 роки тому

      @@bushpoint one trick used to lower shutter speed in bright light is to use a neutral density filter. VidCams have them built in and they are easy to employ. SLRs and mirrorless cameras generally don’t have any and so you need to buy a set that screw onto the lens or use a mounting system. That is if you care that much.
