Installing A Quantum Radome on my Axiom System
Our radar breaks down and we decide to upgrade to a Raymarine Quantum radome. An installation in paridise.
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.

    As they say , ' it's not always smooth sailing '. You can't deter me , Norm . When we're kids we paid for thrills at country shows in side show alley , just like this ride . Although 2mins as opposed to 5-8hrs. However, money invested , you're getting your moneys worth. 🦘🇭🇲👍

    Hey Norm I have just recently come across your channel and have been hooked ever since. I’m in the process of doing up a boat to cruise the east coast of Australia like you are. Your information in invaluable. Thanks very much much

  • @philgray3443
    @philgray3443 3 дні тому

    Sound stuff Norm, we all need reminding of it. One thing you can do is choose the best model and the worst then see how they converge. And we all know which way that goes. A word of caution when using Willy weather. I love that app but I found that as we were going into Musgrave, the tide forecast put the dunnies underwater by about a metre and a half. I contacted them and they replied pretty quickly, explaining that back then they were using Gladstone tides. If you use their app for tides click on the little 'i' on the bottom left corner to see about the data. Sourced from the BOM and ANTT.

    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!

    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.

  • @tonyf7997
    @tonyf7997 4 дні тому

    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. 🎉

    • @MotorSailingforOldDudes
      @MotorSailingforOldDudes 4 дні тому

      Harsh...but wonder sometimes

    • @philgray3443
      @philgray3443 3 дні тому

      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, 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 😃
