LITHIUM INSTALL: The upgrade that SCARES him!

We have 8 weeks left to leave Rio Dulce, and we just realised we bought the WRONG parts for our Lithium install. The entire electrical system is in jeopardy, and now we are going backwards.
In this episode of Sailing SV Cordelia, the reality of a DIY boat refit hits hard. Steve discovers that the critical components for our new LiFePO4 system simply do not fit. With custom delays common in Guatemala and our weather window closing fast, this mistake could cost us weeks of delay! Is there a Plan B, or are we stuck here for another season?

Watch our liveaboard life and what it's really like to live full-time on a 1984 46ft Venus Ketch. We sail from anchorage to anchorage, country to country living off-grid almost all the time.
We are a real genuine couple that are not out to impress. We are who we are and enjoy life to the full.
Follow us each Friday to find out where we are and what we’ve been up to.
Our videos are no more than 2 weeks behind real time.
We intend to SAIL AS FAR AS WE CAN FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN.
Thanks for watching, The Cordelians Steve, Annette & Gus 🥰 ⛵️ 🐾
