SDA69 How Many Sailors Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb?

In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel, we cruise up the Chesapeake Bay to Annapolis. Dave polishes his stanchion at sea. We discover beautiful anchorages filled with a type of jellyfish called 'nettles'. We fly my favourite sail, our spinnaker! Until our autohelm bites it. When we get to Annapolis, our achor light fails... time to climb the mast. 00:00 Intro/This week's episode 00:34 polishing/cruising up the Chesapeake 02:04 Cockrel Creek 02:45 Spinnaker Sailing! 03:50 Autohelm FAIL 05:45 anchor light not working, up the mast 07:34 top of the mast (63'), dissasemble light fixture, check for power 11:16 test new light 12:35 back up the mast 13:10 install and test light.
