Someone has to take care of the fish - I guess :/ (Patreon)

Hi Guys! 

Here is this week's video :) I've uploaded a separate version for Patreon because apparently, you can't post a link to a video that is a YouTube premiere. Please don't share the link :) 

I was surprised to become seasick. Not a pleasant surprise by any stretch of the imagination ;) I was sure I had figured out what I needed to do to avoid seasickness. My rules were: 1) eat breakfast, 2) hand steer for the first couple of hours, 3) Don't be nervous. I did kind of break rule number three. It was our first overnight sail, and I wanted Ava to have a good experience. That plan didn't work out, but the good news is that Ava handled it like a champ. While I was feeding the fish, she kept us on course and kept an eye out for traffic around us. Good job, Ava! I'm a little shaken up over the fact that I got seasick mainly because the sea state wasn't even that bad. I really hope this is not going to become a regular thing! Anywho we're still pushing on towards Ireland :) 

We have more or less been constantly moving this week, so I haven't gotten deeper into the long-range cellular adventure. I have noticed a couple of things. The Yacht Router does a good job of getting signal when we are up to 20 miles offshore. The internet speed we're getting here (near Falmouth) in the UK is better than in France (1-2 Mbps vs. 18-20 Mbps). When testing on the same provider (Vodafone) with my iPhone 12, I'm getting slightly slower speeds than we're seeing on the YR. So no big conclusion yet, but it seems like my installation is OK (no coax issues, etc.)

Ava is making Chicken pot pie, and the smell is too distracting. I need to go pay attention to what's in the oven! ;) I hope you're having a good week :) Thank you so much for your support! Stay safe :)
