He's back again, but hot sure how far he'll get this year (like the rest of us).

He's got a new boat:

As I said in the comments, that is not a choice I'd make.

Patrick has hinted in past videos that he won't be making too many long passages in future, I suspect the planned 2020 trip to Nova Scotia was going to be his longest and last major trip, perhaps he wants something to zoom about the bay in.

As long as he doesn't just bore us all stiff by talking to the camera.

I want to see some sailing and boats, not some chap I don't know talking to the camera incessantly.

Oh you can't acuse him of that. Unlike the thousands of YouTube rats he does not do cap in hand and focuses on sailing. He just had picked a new boat up. He was not even showing it off just talking.

I think he can be interesting. The problem for me is that he often says things which are not quite right but, hey, he will learn maybe. For example, a drogue to steer the boat. No way. And his experiment was flawed as he had not lost his rudder. Doh!

In your opinion!

Indeed...I am quite sure having nerves of steel is an essential attribute for fighter pilots!

I don't presume to have much knowledge of aviation matters, but...

...is not an operational ceiling of 50,000 ft+ sufficient to enable jets to fly above Thunderheads? I thought commercial airliners routinely do this when e.g. crossing the ITCZ??? And fighters have anti-icing, yes?...and when all else fails, ejector seats?

No enmity here Achosenman: I am honestly, simply, curious...

All the best

You should have left it at that.
