Update June 9, 2021 (Update from Mary):
The fridge now works great!! A couple shots of freon, a new o-ring and cooling fan and its good to go. And It only costs $60, for which we are very thankful! Next repair is the autopilot. We opened up the steering compartment today to check and make sure the new pump motor was the correct one. It is, thank you God! We will work on bleeding the hydraulics and put in the new pump and new steering fluid. 2 quarts at $25 each, youch!! But grateful we were even able to find it here. We are slowly getting the hang of the local currency. A bit confusing at first but everyone has been very patient, kind and helpful. We are buying from the local grocery boats which come by a couple a days as week. Diesel is easy access by dingy and we are using our Jerry cans to fill the tank. Its grand central station in our anchorage with various small boats zooming here and there without regard to speed or direction. Pretty crazy and we may move to a quieter spot in due course but for now, everything is close and accessible so we feel peaceful direction to hang here for a bit till our repairs are finished.
