With more than one week before my flight back to the U.S., the passage to Crete allowed for leisurely cruising and some days left over for touring in Crete.
However.....an electrical problem and subsequent inability to charge the extensive battery bank on Moonbeam interfered. Not good.
From Tilos, it was still 160 miles to Crete, but only 48 back to Marmaris, Turkey, where we know good technicians were available. Hence instead of continuing west, we turned east to the marina we had left 4 days earlier. We did have favorable winds and were no longer headed into the prevailing westerlies, but instead were treated with a following breeze. With 14 - 22 kts, the sails were unfurled and it was a perfect day!
Now back at Yacht Haven Marina and waiting for the electrician.
It is a good day no difference where you are in the Dodecanese or Marmaris.
ReplyDeleteWithout looking at the Electrical system it is difficult to know the reason for your problem but if none of your chargers work? It is usually a problem with the main Ground cable assuming that you checked the Fuses near the Battery Banks.
