Приєднався 30 жов 2014
Welcome to Out Chasing Stars! We're Admiral Amy and Captain David and we're currently sailing the world on s/v Starry Horizons, our Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 catamaran. This channel has been a labor of love for almost 9 years as we documented our entire world circumnavigation. It's been so much fun to share our adventures and we love reading all the comments and support!
July 22, 2023 Update: We're taking a step back from making videos to focus on other projects. We're still out sailing though, so keep an eye out for Starry Horizons and stop in to say hi!

It's Time to Say Goodbye...
For almost nine years, we've made videos documenting our sail around the world. Having you along with us for the adventures, the challenges and all the MANY things we've learned made the journey infinitely more meaningful.
But all good things come to an end. So with heavy hearts, we're announcing that this is the end of the Out Chasing Stars UA-cam channel.
It takes an immense amount of time and effort to produce these videos. More and more, we found ourselves wanting to devote that time to other projects. Something had to give.
We're not done yet with a life on the water. We still have a passion for exploring this beautiful world and meeting so many incredible people. Keep an eye out for Starry Horizons and be sure to stop in and say hi!
The love and support we've received over the years has meant more than you could ever know. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of our journey.
Farewell and Fair Winds,
David & Amy

From the moment we moved aboard Starry Horizons, I've always felt like there had to be a better way of identifying and tracking all the maintenance and work needed to keep her sailing safely. My spreadsheets were good, but they could only do so much. So together with my brother, we've finally built a better solution.

5 Things I Wish I'd Known BEFORE Cruising
Gosh, I really wish you two would start up this channel again. Your videos are stand-out exceptional information. No one else documents like this.. no one else puts out this kind of information - It’s all click-bait!
Great video. Is it possible to export a route or waypoint to a plotter with wireless capability, without using an SD, I.e. wirelessly using wifi or blue tooth ?
Can you help me how to insert circle border 500m zone sir?
Incredibly useful video - thanks
Yal are living my dream. I'm still young. One day I will do this.
Where did you swim with dolphins
some keep bungs stringed to their seacocks…
Thank you for posting this!
Maybe a short 1 year update on the 12V A/c conversion?
Fantastic. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks alot, i have been looking for the game type o video. 🙂
Fantastic intro. Thanks
Don't watch if you use a Mac....
Very helpful. Thx.
What else can we plug in
Wakatobi Island is Beautiful ❤
We replaced our DST-800 with an 810 a couple of years ago after we were hit by lightning and the transducer quit working (along with just about everything else electronic on the boat.) The new app is nice and well-appreciated due to the pain of trying to set offsets on multiple displays. Calibrating the data source only once is better. The new water wheel seems to foul a lot quicker and easier than the old style. That's a pain but the excellent water stopper gate makes pulling the transducer for cleaning super easy and low stress. Changing the transducer creates about a half quart of.water inside the boat. We rarely pull or.change ours until the wheel is fouled or we are hauling out. Installing the plug before hauling out is a good idea. Definitely make sure there is no water in there above the O-ring(s) if you expect freezing temperatures as any moisture in there could freeze and damage the plastic thru-hull. On our transducer the water temp stopped working almost immediately but we never used it anyhow.
According to an Airmar install video, the black seal is actually mean for retrofitting the new transducer to the older thru-hull fitting (if you already have one in place).
Sooo good videos! Thank you! I am trying to figure out IF rumours are true regarding using an iPad with OpenCPN in our cockpit? What is the latest regarding works or will nots on iPads?
great installation video. I have taken the inspiration and got a zen 50. Can I ask where did you get the TDS senor and solenoid?
Unless your using a dingy, for the love of God use 24v
Sailing around the world 🌎 the best education and expiration, learning culture and language. Thank you for sharing.
Im into backups, OpenCPN is my fourth chartplotter as I lost mine crossing the Atlantic and had to use an iPad only
me salvaste la vida chico me toca dar un clase de cartas nauticas y asi se puede obtener cartas mas actualizadas que en navionics o garmin mucho amor chico
donde puedo donar ?
Is there a plugin to see my night vision camera? It has cvbs output or HDMI. Thanks
Ask your insurance company and Lloyds first
It’s not that they won’t work but expansion of plastic and it cracks you sink , can’t tighten like bronze
how to put some dummy target? so i can practice my navigational skills?
"Just sitting on it for purposes of making this video..." it's OK buddy, I get all my great ideas while using the head too 😂
great features, thanks
Great stuff
I've used it, or more precisely, tried to use it. Anything but intuitive or user friendly. Pass.
Can you import navonic charts in to open CPN
Looks like you started quite the debate on bronze vs Marlon and a sub debate on whether your old fittings were brass or bronze. Great video! I recall that you all are moving away from UA-cam and have other irons in the fire you are tending. Good luck on those new endeavors and thank you for all the great content. One question concerning your project, I noticed you took all the paint and barrier coat off when replacing fittings...required for bedding compounds to mate to gelcoat and not paint. But then you put strainers over the through hull fittings leaving bare gelcoat exposed under the strainer...or so it would appear. Are you concerned at all with this little bit of gelcoat being exposed under the strainer w/out any barrier coat and/or ablative paint? I will be doing this same project this fall and am trying to learn all I can from those who have already done it. Again, thank you!
If you walk around a room that means its a sphere? Sailing should prove the opposite. You wouldn't be able to use the stars as a reliable navigation if we were hurting and spinning through space while the sun and the galaxy was spinning and hurtling through space. There would be no fixed north star in the center
Sir how come to know my chart is update or not in open cpn Or pls send me link of update chart
Awesome video. Thanks
A chisel would of made that hole easily.
I am pretty sure if an advanced alien race come here on earth it would do something similar to what colonisers did. There is a possibility that they find us primitive and do nasty things.
I just stumbled on this video and really appreciate the making of it, I will definitely subscribe to pick up all of your videos on this subject. I haven’t got my head around OpenCPN as yet, but wish to learn as we have as our boat is fitted with a lot of legacy equipment Raytheon/Raymarine RL70 displays, radar, wind and depth/speed/temp transducers. I have recently installed a Raymarine AIS700 and connected this via an NMEA 2000 backbone, which, in turn, I have linked into a Digital Yacht IKommunicate NMEA 0183/2000 to Signal K Gateway, this I have connected to a wireless router on Cloud Nine, I have taken NMEA 0183 data from the back of the Raymarine Tridata instrument, and can see most of our data on Navionics loaded onto iPads, this is picking up the AIS data via our WiFi on board (just using a domestic old router). We also use a laptop as a back up to the RL70 chartplotters, using a product called PCPlotter, this has Navionics charts loaded as well. So OpenCPN seems a sensible way to go to give us an alternative chart software, at the moment we have to buy Navionics licences for each device. One question, ahead of looking at your other videos, where I may well find the answer!, will OpenCPN pick up and work with Signal K data?
You are true naturals... Honest and informative videos, not out just for the clicks. Thanks so much and good luck with your new ventures!
Thanks for the video. I just received my DST 810. I applied marine grease to the o-rings and was trying the fitting of the plug and transducer in the housing and it is so tight that I can barely remove them by hand. Did you experience the same? Are those easier to remove once the boat is in the water? Thanks.
stooooppppp
A minor correction perhaps. I think of amperage more as “volume” when compared to the water analogy. “Speed” is more related to velocity with water.
I did the download on Mac and all I got was 1file and preview content no file to preview. what now?
Thank you for the great videos, watched your Top 10 series during Covid, then got a boat. We saw you all in Georgetown Exumas in winter 22, and just now bought a FP Helia 44 and you came up again on google, so now I’m rewatching all your videos to know what to expect and see if there’s any hidden tips/tricks. We are currently circumnavigating, had to pause to deliver our daughter and swap boats for the expanded family, but these videos from years ago are still relevant.
If UK bought the land, they own it and can do what they want. They ex-slaves should be compensated, but that’s it.
I followed this tutorial by downloading the programs and installing them as you do. But at 8:55 your map menu shows more choices than I have in SASPlanet. Specifically I don't have Marine Maps as a choice and I can't find Navionics Marine Charts like you have. Do I need to change a setting or do anything else to get these charts like you show? This is a great tutorial for step-by-step instructions on how to make charts for OpenCPN, well done!
Nevermind, I figured it out. I pressed the N hotkey and the Navionics Chart appeared in the viewer and it created the Marine Maps directory as you show in the video. Not sure why it didn't show after the installation.
you put your life on plastic vs bronze. "kind of stupid"
Water dissipated heat is an unnecessary mess. 8000 BTU's is way too large for most boats. A good video should tell how to budget wattage and how to make cooling effective and not waste it.
