At anchor in Ste Anne
One early morning we woke up from what sounded like a shot. There was no reasonable source on board, so we thought it must have come from ashore. After a short while there was another «shot». We got up and started the generator to put the washing machine and the dishwasher to work, brew coffee, produce water and charge the batteries that gives us 12Volt. This is essencial as light, freezer, fridge, water pressure, toilet flushing and all navigational equipment takes 12 volt. NO CHARGING! Both our 70 amp chargers were out of use. They were only 4 years old, but could not be repared. Another 2000 euros after the 2500 we spent on the generator!
