Trying out my Starlink MINI at anchor - Sailing on a Budget 26

Hello from SV Sea Lili, it's the OldMan here coming to you from out on the water in Green Cove Springs ! Yep, this entire video was shot, edited and uploaded from onboard the boat, courtesy of my GoPro 8, and old Toshiba laptop and my new Starlink Mini.

I am happy to report that everything worked pretty darn good. Although I could use a better laptop it did the job, as did the Starlink Mini. The finished video was 1.09GB and it uploaded in about 17 minutes. So all in all I'm pretty happy and I think it will all do the job in the Bahamas.

I am having a problem with one of the flexible solar panels - the built in MPPT controller seems to be failing. But that should be an easy fix as I do have a spare Victron unit.

Also, you will see that I am using an inflatable dinghy rather than the Walker Bay 8. That is a bit of a sad story and will be the subject of my next video.

Thanks for watching !
