Pablo, sailing solo around the world aboard Sofia VI, spends several weeks delayed in Malaysia waiting for a warranty-replacement radar antenna from B&G Australia. The antenna arrives after three weeks but fails to fix the problem; by process of elimination, a faulty coaxial cable inside the mast proves to be the actual cause.45:44 With help from a marina contact named Terry, Pablo feeds a new cable through the mast and the radar resumes working.50:30 While waiting, he completes a full engine service on Sofia VI: replacing the diesel pre-filter, diesel filter, oil and oil filter, drive belt at 600 hours, and flushing the coolant and gearbox oil.23:04 He also removes the boom to swap worn Teflon washers for stainless ones at the gooseneck, inspects and re-tapes chafe points on the mainsail and genoa halyards, lubricates the mast track, and applies Loctite to loosening mast profile bolts.2:18 A diesel tank bacterial contamination is resolved by removing and cleaning the tank.21:33 Two family visitors — his sister and cousin — arrive for Christmas, bringing spare engine parts, Dacron sail repair ink, and a Bimini zipper.1:57 The group tours Johor Bahru, Malacca City, and Singapore.9:59 Provisioning for the next leg costs €130.36:34 The radar fault diagnosis confirms that a warranty antenna swap is not sufficient when the cable itself has degraded.
