Hello, my darlings!
Just watched your vlog!
It must be totally nerve-wracking having to watch out for 'ignorant' ships!
I would, however, love you to make a vlog about the absolutely disgusting plastic waste that you find in the sea
I've tried so often to persuade friends, etc, that our recycled waste doesn't necessarily end up being actually recycled, but is actually shipped off to 'foreign lands', who can't deal with it anymore!
Or have I totally misunderstood the situation?

Jamie, did I see you having a puff on aft deck,! (Sorry ex smoker) anyway, perhaps because you are a sailboat you are held in the same disdain, as other local prows, no lights, I'm ex ships crew and I get pretty savage on east coast Aus where lots don't do right thing, so often its stbd to stbd with Motor boats esp those out of the Gold Coast Surfers Paradise.

I Had a Chinese Cargo Ship at night in the Malacca Straight Alter Course to Intercept our 40 ft sailboat , He was on our starboard Bow .
It look like he was trying to Ram us . I called him on 16 and Asked him his intention ,he said he would Cross our Bow for a Port to Port Pass.
I Maintained Course , Ready to turn Right , he Crossed our Bow only 300 Meters away . I think he was Practicing to see how close he could get !

Great topic! If I may be pedantic on the 'transit principle' to ascertain if you are on a collision course with another vessel, you need two factors to confirm that's the case: 1/ the relative bearing is unchanging, AND 2/ distance between the vessels is getting closer.

A common misconception people have is that just because a ship is much bigger than your little sailing boat, then you are automatically the one who must give way. Wrong. The COLREG rules talk about classes of vessels (motor, sail, fishing boat etc) and relative headings, but say nothing about relative size.

On many occasions I have stuck to my course while sailing as the stand on vessel, and had big cargo ships alter course by a nice 20 degrees or more to avoid me, as per the rules. Of course I only trust in them seeing me and changing course when there's perfect visibility and enough distance. If on the other hand, you are the stand on vessel but the give way vessel is not taking the necessary avoidance action, then the rules also say it's then your responsibility to do everything possible to avoid collision (which tends to become pretty instinctive anyway when that 100,000 ton ship obviously does not intend to change course and is bearing down on you )

Just brilliant episode
Keeping watch at all times leads me thinking solo sailors
