Have had a few ask about planning coastal passages. So here is how I go about it.
We cruise extensively along the East Australian Coast on our 13 meter catamaran. Join us as we explore new cruising grounds, cross bars, fix all kinds of problems, ride out rough weather and live aboard for extended periods.
We even have a playlist that gets us on other peoples boats.
We hope that our videos encourage others to get on board and experience this fantastic lifestyle.

Thanks Norm looking forward to catching up one day when we get out there

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 3 месяца назад

You bet dude.

That one way to upload a longer video 😂

Hi Norm, I think you posted the same video twice, back to back, but helpful, so thanks.

@MotorSailingforOldDudes Месяц назад

I think it was on two different channels mark. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks Norm. You’ve just reinforced our rules. No fixed timeframes. We have the premium version of windy that we use in the computer- feed in your boat speed and we’ve found passage planning to be quite simple. If only the weather was actually what the models say!

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 2 месяца назад

Yep. Sometimes they're a bit out, but usually OK. Thanks for watching.

Having the same tech as the big boys makes a difference, and not just in boating.

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 3 месяца назад

Yep. Tech advances sooo quickly.

Hi Norm, another informative video although I'm not sure what happened to the editing. Initially it ran for 11:43, then there is a blank until you arrive at 17:15 and the video starts to repeat itself. Also, what happened to Episode 2 of How Far North Can We Go? In it you provided details of a website that gave information on mooring locations. Would sure love to know what that website was. Regards, Peter.

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 2 месяца назад

Yeah Thanks Peter. A bit of an edit bugger up. The website is called Zulu Waterways. Lots of info on anchorages from people who have visited. Thanks for watching Dude.

Hey Norm, I don’t know if anyone else has pointed this out, but vid finishes at 12 minutes, then there’s about 4 minutes of black followed by a short repeat of the video at the end.

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 3 месяца назад

Yeah sorry dude. My bugger up.

Good vid Norm and great spot on GK. Windy obviously is NOT taking any information from our meteorologists in Brisbane as they cannot get a day right if they tried! 😂 - the only job I know that pays for continued failed information. 🎉

Harsh...but wonder sometimes

@philgray3443 3 месяца назад

Yet they use the same source of data. A thing to bear in mind from BOM forecasts is that they are covering a large area. The granularity of Windy and Predict Wind is that they are much more focussed. For example I can be sitting off Green Island with 20kts Easterly and Brisbane Airport can be reporting 10kts Northerly. So the best Jenny is going to tell you is 15kts Noreaster. Which is wrong in both places but the average between them. I do shake my head and wonder how the airport can be so different from Hopes Banks, but ATIS tells no lies. Banana bank currently has 18kts gusts to 24. Brisbane has 3kts and the airport has 7. The BOM forecast for Brisbane is 8-10kts which is about (24 + 3 + 7)/3. I don't think they use this formula at all. The sailors would just use the crocodile jaw method, then throw a dice for the gusts.

Thanks Norm very interesting - looking forward to seeing the new radar etc in action. - Cheers

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 3 месяца назад

Yep...Will get some work soon

@DaveAdams308 3 месяца назад

Thanks for watching dude.

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 2 месяца назад

No probs Richard

@DaveAdams308 3 месяца назад

Senior moment Normie? 😂

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 3 месяца назад

Yep...Bit of a bugger up.

@Harrybollox 3 месяца назад

Thanks Norm, I must have deleted Windy , maybe got it confused with PredictWind which is not very accurate for Australia I think, it’s back installed now, did you notice your video has a big gap then loops back to the start , a bit like staying in the cinema to watch the start of a good movie again 😃

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 3 месяца назад

Thanks for info Dude.

@thatsshowbiz6438 3 месяца назад

Hey Norm It'd be good to see some coverage on the prevailing winds throughout the year especially on say the east coast of NSW & Qld - Cheers

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 3 месяца назад

I'll try to cover it. Thanks for the comment.

@mattclark1341 3 месяца назад

Great bumping into you both at GKI. It’d be interesting to hear how you find the radar on night passages.

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 3 месяца назад

Yeah mate. One coming up soon.

@alanbutterworth4219 3 месяца назад

Cheers Norm, great info for a newbie like myself.

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching dude. Glad it helps.

@trevorcronin9249 3 месяца назад

Thx for the info however No info on choosing anchorages?

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the comment. Getting in the Lee of the land is the trick, but take swell into account too.

@Fwdking 3 месяца назад

Wow , very noticeable the weight loss . Maybe camera angle. Love this episode content , especially seeing Mon doing the dream . Spurs me on with my goal , now 18months away. 🦘🇭🇲👍
