What this video covers

Pablo Berrus spends day 21 of his round-the-world sailing preparation working on the mast of his boat while a new Garcia keel is being manufactured at the factory.0:03 The main task is replacing the VHF radio antenna cable: after several hours of work, he threads a guide wire through a small white tube running the full length of the mast, feeding it in at the base and pulling it out at the top, then attaches the new antenna cable to the guide to pull it through.0:29 He also removes the old masthead light, which had filled with water and needs replacement.1:16 The video covers only the early stages of this mast work; the cable pull-through and light installation are not yet complete.
