We have been in Boqueron Bay for about a week now and really like this place. It is very protected, good holding and close to town and all the action.
Today I finally got the Victron charger/inverter cables to be able to modify the charge rate of the 80 amp charger. From the factory it is programmed to charge at only 75% of rated capacity. So we were having to run the genset longer than we should charging at typically 50-60amps . Tomorrow morning when the batteries will be down to the 60% or so level, it should go into bulk charge and be somewhere close to 80amps. I'm sure the Blue Sky panel will show something a little less than 80 but hopefully over 70.
The upcoming weather is forecast to be good Friday and Saturday for traversing the South coast of Puerto Rico which is a beat into head seas and headwind so with lighter forecast winds - we may decide to leave Boqueron Friday morning - but then, maybe not. We can do that - we dont have to be to work on Monday morning!!!
