Tessie got a new eye! Testing the Raymarine FLIR M300C lowlight and zoom camera.

Check out the Tessie's new enhanced vision as Raymarine let me test their FLIR M300C low light and 30 x zoom camera. This is a big lift for my singlehanded navigation. The camera sits 4 meter up the mast on its Scanstrut support bracket, and is connected to my 3 x Axiom chartplotters. The camera is gyro stabilised, meaning keep the camera lens still while the boat is moving around in the waves.
It is able to keep a clear vision, even in very low light conditions. A 30 x zoom lets me see obsticles, ships and other objects far away to chart the surroundings while navigating.

This will be a very cntral part when closing into the ice of Greenland in a few weeks. I also hope to detect polarbears and whales as I enter the icy, cold coast.

Getting prepared for departure in just a few days now!

I am new to sailing and I bought my first sailboat last year, a small 25ft, 50 years old boat that I have since working to restore. Doing most of the work on my boat alone as well, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the effort and extra planning involved when working by yourself! Congratulations on the new equipment

Erik, stort tack för att du delar med dig av dina äventyr! :)
