New electrical half of the generator arrives.

The electrical half of the generator went kaput while we were in Georgetown.  We found that Reggie's Express could fly a new one in and we could pick it up at customs.  When we received the paperwork they added the local 45% up charge for a 'luxury item'.   Yikes!  When we took the paperwork to customs we naturally contested the up charge, stating that we needed the generator in order to raise and lower our anchor.  Fortunately, the real reason for the charge was they though it was a stand-alone generator (like a Honda 2000) and once they understood that it was part of our boat the charge was waived.

 

I met a lady from Dive Exuma (Tamara) who had a truck and she graciously offered to take me with her…made the trip fun, needless to say rather than taking a taxi.
