Ep 252 | How We Feel Safe. Coastal Navigation in Dangerous Places, Sailing Nutshell, Australia
February 03, 2022 by Life in a Nutshell | Language: EN Play Time: 00:46:37 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We leave Portland Roads and get ready for three ‘big’ days of sailing on our way to Seisha.
The gearbox is failing, yet again, so we are gingerly making our way, using the wind as much as possible.
Magnus has a chat about the Raspberry Pi which he has been learning about for quite some time now. He also goes into great depth about navigation, how it has changed over the years and what systems we use on Nutshell to stay safe and to know where we are.
He also demonstrates how to make a vhf antenna.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time.
Wendy and Magnus

After exploring the stunning Aboriginal rock art on Stanley Island we set off to take a peek at the camping area.
The available facilities are great but the discarded aluminium cans and rubbish are a little upsetting.
We then plan our sailing route for the next few days. It’s tricky territory with reefs all around us and plenty of things to hit!
After a few sailing days we eventually end up at Portland Roads and head to the famous cafe to sample coffee and cake, but alas, it’s closed!
