    Trouble with power

    Nathan continues trek around Bahamas

    Alison from minimus team central reports…

    Hello All,

    John Curis and I had a great session at the B and G Club in Kingston tonight, what wonderful kids!

    Nathan is having difficulty with power that unfortunately was not resolved over the course of today. Currently, he does not have enough power to use the auto-helm. After a variety of phone calls two plans have been developed:

    Plan A: After talking with Rick from Quantum Energy, tomorrow once it gets light, Nathan will try to bypass the charge controller into the main battery which (fingers crossed) could solve the problem and then he will be able to continue sailing.

    Plan B: If Plan A doesn’t work, Nathan will go into Arthur’s Town on Cat Island for assistance/parts/problems solving.

    Nathan is in very good spirits. There is only a whisper of wind so he does not have any sails up and is using this opportunity to study charts, enter coordinates etc. Despite this latest challenge, his is feeling relaxed and optimistic.

    Thanks for your ongoing support!
    Alison
