Saturday, April 22, 1995 - Boqueron, Puerto Rico

Roy stopped at the Post Office and got his mail. Then he took the alternator back to Western Auto and got another. He wanted them to test it, but they didn't have the right equipment, so when he got back to Cabo Rojo, he found an alternator repair place and had them test it. It worked correctly, but when he mounted it in the boat, it didn't work, so then he knew the problem wasn't in the alternator but in the wiring. He checked around and found a loose connection. After he fixed that, the alternator put out 75 amps! Hooray! Now we can run the refrigerator all night and turn on lights and the TV, and when we get the inverter back, we'll be able to use the microwave again.
