Time to dust down those sextants! It's well worth investing in a celestial navigation course. A bit mind bending at times, but a worthwhile and essential skill to acquire.

UK government advises maritime sector to plan for GNSS navigation disruption and to practice using alternatives to GPS for safety

Thank you everyone who has supported my Kickstarter so far. I'm excited to get the Cookbook laid out and on its way. I've even been adding some extra recipes to all the content already written.

The Cookbook is now over a third of the way to the target - without reaching this Kickstarter won't take any money and it won't happen. So if you know of anyone that might be interested, do forward them a link.

How I sail WITHOUT Starlink, gasp! ☺ Part of the joy of is the digital detox, but we all want as much weather info as we can get. Especially in a climate of increasing extremes. How to balance these needs? Have a look at the short video I made explaining how I do it.

Despite the many upsides Starlink can offer cruisers and others, they do generally suck (rocket debris, night sky pollution, fascist megolamania) and are currently hiking their tariffs for cruisers so reliable alternatives are worth looking into.

I really like not having internet onboard when I'm sailing offshore...

Buntline hitch

An ideal knot for permanent applications, like a halyard. You would have to cut it undone though. Used here for a clip on the end of my new dinghy painter line. Pre-tightened on a winch.

I can't believe how few views this has got, but essential viewing!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Anyone interested in sailing with me from the Azores to the Algarve leaving mid August? About 7-10 days depending on wind, or possibly lack of wind to start with in the Azores. Maybe some Azores sailing first.

Standfast 40 yacht, well equipped, veggie/vegan boat (do what you like ashore!). Shared costs on food and fuel, and a contribution to the boat welcome. Sailing experience not essential. Looking at week starting 17 August, weather dependent.

DM me. If I don't already know you, let me know why you'd like to join on this trip and something about you. If you don't know me, have a look at www.coopskipper.org/about

Thanks!
