Will This DIY Starlink Mount Survive at Sea? - SailingHelios S03E16
In this episode, we wrap up a few long-overdue boat projects while waiting to sail into the Maddalena National Park. First up is finally mounting our Gen3 Starlink dish—a job that’s been on hold since we bought it almost a year ago in Greece. After sitting on the coachroof all this time, it’s time to give it a proper home on our solar arch. That means cutting the cable, feeding it through the arch and conduits, and joining it back together—fingers crossed it still works!
Meanwhile, Jude brings out her trusty sewing machine to tackle a few smaller jobs, including a Velcro retaining strap for our swim platform ladder. Just another week of life aboard Helios, making sure everything is ready for the adventures ahead.
