Sergio: We just got to Luperon. Scoudrel's Lady is looking good! We're here for maybe 5 or 6 days. When are you coming back? Is there anything we can look into for you?
Hi Larry, we intend to go in the end of May.
We have a problem with the battery banks that are draining during the night.
The guy that is taking care is "15" (Quinse) and the name of the Marine manager is Freddy.
Please take a look if the bottom boat is clean. By the dock, or ask 15.
I found an electrician by internet but I don't know if he could help us.
If you have time, ask Freddy for a rental car (you just find an used car) and go to Cabaret, is a beautiful place to windsurf and Kite surf.
It's very difficult to make contact with the marine or 15, if they want to talk to me, please let me know.
Thank you

Another thing, can you ask to Freddy or "15" to look inside the dingy if has water and to cover it.

Hi Larry, I have to arrive in Trinidad in the end of June, because will start the hurricane season.
Can I make this trip in a month? Do you know a marine there that you can indicate? any advice?

Thank you. I didn't find Sam's Club or any other big store close Luperon. In Puerto Plata has just one nautical store and with a few parts.
I'll need to buy 2 big deep cycle batteries and I'm afraid if I can find them

Hi Larry,
Both of my battery bank are draining with the inverter during the night. I know that I have to change the two service batteries, but its wrong the engine batteries drained by the inverter.
I don't know if I'll could find an electrician guy in Luperon or close to solve this problem.

I don't know. When I turn off the engine batteries, I can see their voltage in the panel. Despite that, the inverter consume all the service batteries in minutes. I think something something is stealing batteries charge.
It's not clear to me as to (1) Is the boat on a mooring or in a slip connected to shore power? (2) Why is the inverter on when you are not there?I don't know.

It's good idea if our boat was a sailing boat. We need fuel and our range is about 1,000 miles, that's why we have to go to Trinidad first.
