SAILING SAOIRSE - We're stuck in a country with no solar power or money!💰☀️

Stuck in Brazil without money and solar power Arriving in Brazil we were faced with what seemed to be a mountain of issues - we lost both of our mppt charge controllers on the passage, one before getting to Fernando de Noronha and the second, shortly after arriving in Brazil. I had locked up my bank account, a week after getting here and with what seemed like no way to fix the issue remotely, we were beginning to think we were going to have to fly back to South Africa to sort it out. Which in itself was an issue because we couldn??t access money to buy the air ticket 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️. The list of issues just went on and on - needing to replace one of the propellers and find a new one, our crash lockers in the front of the boat had filled with water during the crossing and needed investigating, we cracked the bottom portion of one of the fuel/water seperators and need to repair it until we could get a new one because with no solar power, due to not having mppt controllers, we were having to run our engines daily to top up the batteries. Finding affordable charge controllers was an absolute mission! So this episode serves as a warning to some and just shows a portion of the fact that yachting life is not all cocktails and bikinis but comes with a huge amount of stress also.
