This years shipment is on the way

We traveled to Miami this morning to drop off two shipping barrels of boat spares, supplies and provisions for this winter season in the Caribbean.  The trip over was fine and we arrived at the Tropical LCL Warehouse and went right up to the loading dock - no one in front of us.  Within 2 minutes a forklift and pallet were waiting by the tailgate of the truck and within 5 minutes we had paid for the shipment, picked up two new barrels for next season and were on our way back home!

While on Alligator Alley today we came upon 4 single vehicle accidents - not sure if the drivers fell asleep, were texting or what but it was roadside carnage!  This was on the roadway between the toll plazas.

Got home early so installed a shelf for two new Frigoboat compressors on an IP-38.  Put the flat plate evaporators in the boat yesterday afternoon and hope to wire and connect all refrigerant tubing tomorrow  morning and test both sides.  Still have to fabricate the divider and new doors but want to make sure everything works first.

Here is a photo of the control panel that I had made and the new digital controllers before installation on the boat.  Will post additional photos of the project within the next several days.
