Cutting the Cord: Bye-Bye HF Radio! | Sailing with the James's (Ep. 82)

This week's episode is a transformative journey! Join us as we bid farewell to our battery mates and welcome aboard new battery chargers. We're also saying goodbye to our HF radio, opting to sell it on the marketplace while we are in a marina and it is easy to get on and off the boat. Join us as we carefully remove the HF radio and make a fun discovery along the way! ________________ Welcome to Sailing with the James's! We are the James Family; we purchased an unfinished aluminum catamaran and are fixing her up as we sail around the world. Come onboard our boat and join this sailing family aboard on our floating home! ________________________________________________________ If you missed last week's episode, watch it here: https://youtu.be/Y0QjkYZjU6w Boat tour of our project boat, an Aluminum Catamaran: https://youtu.be/RhyaasimV9M ________________________________________________________ You can support us making sailing videos by: Become a virtual crew member by becoming a PATREON! - YOU are making these videos possible! https://patreon.com/Sailingwiththejamess You can make a once off donation for the price of a cup of coffee! https://ko-fi.com/sailingwiththejamess _________________________________________________________ SOCIAL MEDIA https://www.facebook.com/SailingWithTheJamess https://www.instagram.com/SailingWithTheJamess/ Chapter Content: 00:00 - Start 00:24 - Battery Mates 03:35 - Engine Wiring 10:18 - HF Antenna 13:43 - Hailer 16:19 - Longer than expected 17:42 - Off to the Post Office --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT US: We are a family of three sailing around the world and sharing our adventures in family-friendly episodes every week!
