On this particular episode of Onboard Lifestyle, we address a temporary fix that took nearly four years to correct. Our Raymarine Quantum radar was originally installed using Teal's plan "B" as we sailed down the Southern California coast. Even though plan "B" has been working fine, with the mast down, it makes sense to revert back to "plan "A". With our focus now on the electrical components of the mast, it feels good that all things are running smooth, that is, until everything literally goes to piss!
