Sailing Saoirse - what happened to our chartplotter? ???

We are going nuts! ?? What happened to our chartplotter? We are still in Brazil. It seems brazil is not wanting us to leave at the moment. We were meant to leave about 3 weeks ago. We were going to be leaving with two other yachts from Marina Jacare Village. We ran around 3 days prior to leaving making sure the yacht was ready and we were provisioned. The day before we were meant to leave we noticed that the chartplotter had a funny colour to it. We took pictures, posted them on Facebook sailing groups and emailed Raymarine. The longer the screen was left on the faster it was fading. We had the chart plotter on the day before and it was working perfectly. We were still able to mirror the chartplotter to our phones and when it was mirrored to our phone the display on the phone was perfect so we are hoping it is just an LCD screen problem. We had an old iPad as back up for navionics and when we tried to get it up and running it didn't seem to want to work. We think the software is too outdated. We then opened the wall on which the tv is on, the wiring for the chart player is in the wall behind the tv. While we were checking all the wiring the tv was damaged. That was our third option for mirroring the chart plotter to that was now broken. After all of this happening in the space of 3 hours we were ready to give up. ?Our chartplotter was on the blink ?We had smashed our TV ?Our back up IPad was not working And the tensions were running high. We decided to postpone our trip by a day and sort out buying a new Samsung tablet that would be able to mirror the chart plotter and work our navionics. That same evening Robin started getting very sick with covid like symptoms. We went and bought the Samsung tablet and the second evening Karen got sick. We didn't want to start our trip up the coast of Brazil with two very sick people on board so we took each day as it came and figured when they started getting a bit better we would leave. After 4 days of being bedridden we had missed our weather window. It is now Brazils windy and rainy season and it's come in with a force. There is big winds up and around the north east of Brazil. For now we are looking for the best possible gap to take. It's not going to be the perfect weather window like we had hoped for but we will choose a safe enough one. After a week in bed we decided to take a walk down to the beach, find some coconuts and spend some time in the sun. We are feeling so frustrated with everything that seems to go wrong on Saoirse, financially it's cutting into our cruising budget immensely. But, we are also seeing these set backs as signs from the universe because if we had left with the two other yachts there would have been 2 very sick people on board to worry about. ???????

Chop the onion up into quarters , add to eggplant for 5 minutes and then use a blender to blend the onion up. When blending the eggplant I used a few pulses on the blender. I didn't want the eggplant to become pasty I just wanted the chunks to be smaller. Let ingredients cool to room temperature. Add the eggplant and onion to a bowl, add the coriander, garlic, dry herbs. Mix all together. The. Start adding your bread crumbs a quarter cup at a time and stirring in-between until you reach a consistency that you can roll into a ball and it holds its shape. Whisk your two eggs in a bowl. Add the bread crumbs, tapioca starch and all purpose flour to a separate bowl to the eggs. Dunk each ball into the egg mixture then the dry mixture. Fry the balls in shallow oil until each side is golden and crispy. Remove from pan, place on paper towel to absorb excess oil and serve. ?We had a few left over so we made burgers with them the following night, they were delicious!
