Back in the water

Been a busy day today. This morning we woke (a few times, it's the jet lag) in the hotel and then went for a walk to go and pick up the car we had hired from the airport. Drove to Monfalcone and picked up a couple of Vodafone SIMs on the way. On our way up we heard from Gregor that we had an electrical problem on the boat. This thing takes the 12 volts generated by the alternator and the 12 volts made by the 12V battery charger and works out which one to use and then delivers it to the house battery OR the engine battery OR the bow thruster battery. Needless to say that black gooey stuff coming out is not supposed to be like that.

Also, the house battery and the engine battery are way down on what they should be (7 volts and 4 volts). I guess this is what happens when you leave stuff for 2 and a half years. Anyway, today we hired a car, droved about 130 kms, got two SIMs with data and phone numbers, order 2 batteries and got SunChi back in to the water. Tomorrow is another day.
