After anchoring at Yelapa overnight where it was a bit rolly, Rog new he would have to get the coffee pot going before anything else happened on the boat. Grumpy would not get out of bed without that wonderful aroma to intice her.
We may not have mention but out inverter blew up when we plugged into the docks over in La Cruz, not a good thing when you smell smoke on the boat. They had wired the ground to a hot wire at the dockside power source so the moment we plugged in--pop!! Ok, we have a genset and a spare charger on the boat so no worries.
Fast forward to Yelapa. Rog gets up, turns on the genset and it has a high pitch alarm sounding!! No power on the boat. That means we have to take the forward berth apart to get to the genset and replace the relay switches. We have plenty on the boat--right?? Yes we do but where are they and where do we install them?? Better get the manuel out and start reading.
Using the snake that had been a gift from a customer Rog located the source of the problem and was able to take care of it. Yes the genset would run and we were back in business.
HOWEVER, grumpy has gotten up and pulled out another gift that had been given to her when we had the original Di's Dream--- A stainless perculator !! We still have propane so coffee is made.
We have just found out that for a price we can have a new inverter walked across the boarder and put on a plane headed to Puerta Vallarta. There is even a service that will deliver right to our marina!! I did mention that this will all be done for a price, maybe I should have flown home and picked it up myself.
