Frying More Than Eggs
14 February 2010 | Panamarina, Panama
February 14
In organizing (there's that ugly work again) and labeling all electrical connectors, chargers, bits and pieces, managed to attach an identical 12v charger (for DVD player) to new 5v Sealife camera. Oopsie! She be completely dead. Didn't smell, feel or see anything untoward, so hope damage is minor and does not require unit be shipped back to Eastern Slobovia via donkey train at cost only slightly more than original cost of camera.
Despite light wind and solar panels retracted by proprietor, Jean-Paul, after my departure from Panamarina two weeks ago, batteries kept frig frosty and food same general color and flavor. This in no way implies any plan to forgo Silvie's cooking in favor of choking down on-board cuisine. Period of calm to finally end Thursday accompanied by 9 foot seas for expected sail to Shelter Bay Marina at Canal mouth on Friday. In future will have to work on timing.
SSB propagation has been less than optimal for sending these things, but don't look for a reprieve. Have managed to get them out eventually.
