As the boat was in the shed for the 1000 hour jet unit service I also changed out the AIS Antennae as I think that may be contributing to the problem with the AIS as the outer jacket of the coax was nicked slightly. So I used a trick an electrician friend of mine taught me. Remove the inner wire/plastic and put a 3mm line through the center then put the plastic cover back on and tape it all together. This meant I could mouse out the old antennae and only remove two panels of the liner in the cab.

My lunch time was over at the hydro again in the sun looking out across the bay. What a stunning sunny day.

Matt was on boat driving duty so he spent the morning taking the government officers to krill boats, reefers and Antarctic Bay to leave off Andy. As you can see it was a stunning day for a bit of boating.

The internal anode in the jet unit needed changing and the best way is to remove the screen from the hull and then reach up inside and swap with a new one.

The movie tonight was Quantum of Solace. When ever we have Bond on most people on station come to watch it is a pretty safe choice for the movie chooser!
