We motored out of Barra this morning in calm water and hot still air. It’s only a thirteen mile jaunt around the corner to Tenacatita so it should have been simple enough, but halfway I realized that the batteries weren’t charging. Scratch that, they were charging, but slowly. And while the amps were going in the voltage wasn’t rising, it was stuck at 12.0. A peek inside the engine compartment confirmed that it was a loose belt, or actually two loose belts. The engine driven fridge belt assembly had practically worked it’s way off the mount which also explained why the fridge was taking so long to cool. Anyway, once settled in I climbed down, tightened everything back up, and we seem to be running good again.
