It happened when in Paraguay we tried to repair our broken shore power connection and we discovered the 110 volt battery charger which was part of the inverter was burned out. Chris the mechanic said he could order each part separately and then we found the charger half was no where to be found. So we had an inverter of no use to us. That’s because the Victron inverter includes the charger half. Keep on keeping on.
Now we wait for the inverter to arrive so the job can be finished.
We’re expecting to get on the road by next weekend and we want to take a tour around Uruguay, a small country, to test everything and make sure we’re all present and correct before we cross the border to Argentina.
With Gannet2 upgraded we’re thinking about doing one more circuit of South America before we cross back to Central America in 2028. It seems a long way away but I guess the time will fly.
This is the start of the second half of our tour of South America and we’re ready to roll. I hope the inverter gets here soon.
I went for a walk and saw some crappy roads because back roads get less attention even in wealthy Uruguay.
And after my stroll in the winter sun I still maintain this countryside you could see in the Midwest.
The prediction is for Arctic cold this coming week. Fantastic, my favorite.
Winter weather here blows north from the southern latitudes, the world turned upside down.
