13) Second attempt at Still Bodø

I wrote this yesterday evening, and thought I had posted it, but it just dissappeared, so I will try and recreate it.

Taken at about 21:45. Not really sunset either. If the clouds do not shut it out, the sun is shining when I go to bed, and when I wake up. Eyeshade very needed!

In an earlier incarnation, (it must have been a less intelligent one), documentation of solutions was not a priority. I could remember it all, right? Ha! So I spent just as much time finding out which cable was which and where it went, as it took to install the new antenne and create a better layout. The feared acrobatic rummaging about in the cockpit lockers to find old cables and install new ones turned out to be not so strenuous after all, and I experienced a bit of physiotherapy too. The knees survived. Extracted and used the bicycle too, to go to to the boatbits shops again. You always need some other bracket, or connector or somesuch. Bodø has excellent bicycle tracks. The sun shone and the wind blew, so going one way was a pleasure.

New cables have legible tags on both ends, so Josin is now VHF legal. We can proceed on our way. Not so sure about the AIS and MarineTraffic though. Tomorrow will tell.
