At one point, we noticed the anchor light wasn’t working. Apparently, after six years the battery was dead. We were able to buy a spare anchor light, and I went up the mast to replace it. The first time, we thought it would be easy—just replace the light or the battery—but it turned out that more work was needed. The anchor light had to be unscrewed and the two wires had to be reconnected in the terminal block. And all of that at 22 meters up, right on top of the mast. After some instructions from Gilles, I went up the mast again, this time bringing tools along in the side pockets of the “chair” (bosun’s chair) in which you’re hoisted up. It worked, and the anchor light was shining brightly again at the top of the mast!
Upgrading Our Boat's Windlass System We are a New Sailing Couple upgrading our windlass system on our sailboat. This short video shows the beginning of how we are upgrading. Here Chris made a template and then using various hole saws, cut holes through our 5" deck! Then he applied epoxy and gets ready for the next step. If you dig our journey, we would love you to join us on our blog: https://gypseaexplorer.com/ Or on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/writerjacks/ Cheers!
