In the latest Sailing Intermission episode, Steve and Karen tackle an AIS setup challenge on their sailboat while dealing with a broken VHF antenna. They replace the old antenna with a new one and head out to enjoy some fresh air at the beach after recovering from colds.
VHF Antenna Replacement
The couple initially faces issues with their AIS setup on board, realizing that they need a proper VHF antenna to make it work correctly. Their current VHF antenna has cracks at the top and is letting water in through its cable. This water issue seems to be causing some problems with their AIS unit.
In order to fix this issue, Steve and Karen decide to replace the old VHF antenna with a new one. They choose the Shakespeare 4200 Mariner which is a 3db antenna taking in the pl259 connector they already have installed.
AIS Setup Challenges
Throughout the episode, Steve and Karen attempt to troubleshoot their AIS setup. Their MTR B923 has been acting up with its LEDs flashing, searching for GPS signal but not transmitting properly.
In order to test this further, they try matching up data received on their trusted MTR unit compared to the Icom with an AIS receiver built in. While the diagnostics software for MTR shows all green lights, Isabella’s boat still doesn’t show up on their AIS receiver.
Fresh Air and Relaxation
As they navigate through these challenges, Steve and Karen mention how both of them had been under the weather with common cold. After recovering slowly, they decide it’s time for some fresh air.
Hoping to get back 100%, they head out to enjoy a relaxing day at the beach together, sharing their thoughts about gardening and needing to get dirty while being ill. Their love for each other is evident even during such mundane yet fulfilling activities.
Conclusion
This Sailing Intermission episode wraps up by showcasing the couple’s determination in solving issues related to their boat technology, while also reminding viewers of the simple pleasures and happiness found even after recovering from illness. With a mix of humor, vulnerability, and technical problem-solving, Steve and Karen continue to inspire sailing enthusiasts with their adventurous spirits.
