I'm a Dirty Girl Ep146

We finished the freshwater manifold. It really cleaned up that area in the engine room and will make it easy to shut off each individual circuit. There are two AIS units on Isabella. One is a built-in receiver on our Icom VHF radio, and the other is the Em-trak AIS transceiver unit which is giving us quite a bit of trouble. The Em-trak was plugged into the NMEA 2000 network and for whatever reason, it wasn't displaying on the Garmin chart plotter. In addition, it is receiving information but doesn?t appear to be transmitting. Isabella's AIS signal is not received on either the ICOM VHF or the Em-trak. The VHF antenna case was cracked, old and ugly so we replaced it the a new 4200 Shakespeare antenna. It won?t solve our AIS issue, but it looks a lot nicer and will give us better receiving capabilities. Recovering from several days of being affected by a cold, we felt good enough to go to the beach for some fresh air and dancing. We?re feeling so much better, yea! Even did some boat gardening. We planted some basil seeds and bought a new mother-in-law tongue (Dracaena trifasciata) plant.
