Fridgeless in Fiji

Then Richard the Refrigerator showed up. I went off into town to buy some more Internet time and on the way back to the yacht club bumped into him. As expected, the electronics attached to the fridge compressor had been 'fritzed', but the really bad news was a pipe between the compressor and the holding plate had become detached in the 'reef encounter', and after the gas had got out the water got in. Bugger. Both compressor and holding plate shot. So, having checked out some prices online, I will be leaving Fiji with a chunk of ice in the new 'fridge', unless we can build a unit from parts in Fiji. Second-hand compressors (from car aircon units) can be had, but not too sure about a holding plate. A conference is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Like I said, bollocks.
