We also had problems with our aircon 1 serving the saloon and pilothouse. When engaged the compressor was running but not the fan. Faultsearch revealed a burned capacitor and as expected the major problem was to find a replacement of 5 micro Farage. We found it in a small electric shop in the middle of nowhere and once installed the aircon was up working.

After more than a week working with the boat often in bad working positions and not being used to the heat, the effort takes it´s toll. No wonder gearing up a boat is often referred to as "bilge yoga" among cruisers.

With all major systems working we departed Varadero Aruba Marina and relocated to Renaissance Marina which is centrally located in Oranjestad.

Still having some work to be done we started monitoring weather and hurricane trackers closely.
