Sugar Shack is moving and shaking. We set sail to Isla Isabella in order to enjoy time exploring a new island. Everyone was up early for a 0600 departure. We motor sailed the 40nm because winds were light. However, it was a lovely day and we made it to Isabella by 1300.
A representative from Yacht Gala and an official came to do formalities and welcome us to our 3rd port of call. Per Ecuador law, we are only able to bring our big boat to San Cristobal, Santa Cruz, and Isla Isabella.
We anchored and got settled. With a little downtime, we decided to tackle the radar project. Matt opened the radar box and to our surprise, they only sent the radar dome and not the cables or the RI10 component. We were surprised, shocked, and pissed. We talked to the B&G rep several times and triple checked that they were sending the entire radar kit. All we could do is plug in the dome and hope that particular pieces is the piece that is not functioning.
With fingers and toes crossed, Matt used our old cable to plug in the radar dome at the nav station and to our surprise and great joy, it worked! Now we just need to plug it in at the spreaders and hope the cable running up the mast worked as well. We hoisted Matt up the mast with the radar dome and 45 minutes later we were installed and running. What a huge relief.

All at once, everyone started falling asleep. So, I took advantage of the down time and made jello shots and bite size cheese cake. Yum. Welcome to Isla Isabella.
