Marina Rubicon
Today was spent doing maintenance. The starboard navigation light had failed after a period of functioning intermittently. This was traced to faulty wiring. Replacement involved feeding the new wire into the pulpit tubing and down to a junction box in the forepeak. It was very fiddly and took a couple of hours. The old wire had chafed through on the rough edges where it entered the railing and water had wicked down to the junction box.
Our two 100A/H house batteries were no longer holding any charge and needed replacing. We drove into Arrecife and purchased two Vetus Marine108 A/H sealed batteries at a cost of €320 from Duque Hermanos, Calle Augustin de la Hoz 14-24. Not my first choice as I want to install Trojan golf cart batteries but these cannot be easily obtained here.
On the way back to Marina Rubicon I spotted these unusual houses designed by Antonio Padron. Unfortunately there was no time to have a closer look.
