These things are sent to try us!

As expected, things don’t always go to plan.

Tonight finds us sitting in semi-darkness after the battery system on the Mobi decided to throw in the towel. I’ve checked every fuse I can find, but once I start following the wiring, it quickly turns into what looks like a bowl of spaghetti — and about as easy to understand.

The end result? No fridge, no water pump, and only half our lights. The good news is that we still have air-conditioning and cooking facilities, so we’re hardly roughing it and will survive the night quite comfortably.

Tomorrow will be spent hunting down an auto electrician, though being this close to Christmas doesn’t exactly improve our odds. Still, this is all part of the adventure — plans change, patience gets tested, and stories get written.
