The main reason for our extended visit to the marina was to get our battery problem fixed. We hired a local guy called Tim from Marine Services who was very experienced and knowledgable in this field. He managed to squeeze us in between his other scheduled jobs and spent the best part of 3 days working on our yacht. We plied him with Coca Cola and beers at the end of the day to keep him energised in the hot and humid conditions. We ended up having to replace all our main batteries which proved to be necessary but quite costly. This is a photo of Tim leaving Faraway with all his gear after finishing the job. We really hoped it was the last of our battery problems and that we could finally get back to our adventure. Friday morning we planned to leave the marina and head down to Norman Island for some well earned relaxation and diving over the weekend. It would also be a good test for the batteries before finally leaving the BVI's and heading south.
