Having spent a couple of nights in the marina and had the expert Victron electrics man on board for two days, we have, we hope sorted the problems. We now also have a temperature reading for the batteries so at least we will get a warning if they heat up again. The electric alarms have also been set up which should have happened during build. Victron cannot understand why the monitor was not put where they suggest it is put which is the feed back we got from them when they were phoned.

We had a massive thunderstorm last night and this morning the bucket, which was empty, had two inches of water in it, more thunder storms expected today, it is raining on and off all day but at least it is still warm.

We plan to leave the marina this afternoon and go to anchor out in the bay. Tomorrow, all being well, we plan to sail to Fort de France and then from there back south to St. Lucia. Augusto, my nieces partner, is skipper a yacht across in the ARC, it has been a very slow crossing this year and by the time he arrives, we hope on Sunday, it will have taken him 21 days, just so many wind holes on the way across this time.

No moe news now.
