Middle of July 2014- Paradise Village Marina in Banderas Bay Mexico
Once again Debbie's in the Lazarett. It is not even 7:30 AM yet and she is at work! Well it is cooler at this time of day 😃
Debbie had to look at the solar panel wires to find the size so we can order solderless terminal ends. We need these for the new Blue Sea Systems blade fuse panel we will be installing. We will remove the Blue seas buss that is currently there. hen we can control which panels we want to use by removing fuses. For instance now we get too much sun and could cook the batteries so we are using the Xantrex 2000 watt battery charger instead of the solar BlueSky Energy inc Solar Boost 3024iL DUO to charge the batteries. We are on shore power at the dock.
We are currently cruising our Islander Freeport 36 sailboat in Mexico. We have been extensively documenting our outfitting for this adventure. Also, what works and what is not of value.

Air Breeze - inside - field repair?
July 2014- Paradise Village Marina in Banderas Bay Mexico
We somewhat dismantled our Air Breeze wind generator. Our thoughts were to fix it.
It has the "spin up spin down" syndrome. We were thinking of replacing the "Control Board".
Our Air Breeze flunked test 1 and test 2 so we decided to skip test 3 and call for support.

Recharging the Mermaid Marine Air - 2014

We had Fresco Refrigeration (322 297 1684) come by and re-charge Mermaid Marine Air our 12000 BTU AC unit in the salon. He (Don) did a fine job and it now freezes your out! This was in May 2014. He is listed in the Vallarta Nautica magazine.
