Well, I am back at the Nandi, Fiji Airport, and will be flying back to the U.S. tonight. Taking the inverter apart for shipping proved to be a disaster as had been suggested. (Adventure is bad planning) Some of the boxes shipped out never arrived there, or at least did not before I departed from the island. What boxes did arrive were really smashed up, it looked like they were used as rugby balls. I pictured some guy stomping on a pile of boxes into a ships hold saying 'I think we can get another two on the boat'. How much force does it take to break the aluminum case of a well built outback inverter? Still most of the critical parts arrived, and we found or made substitutes for others. The panels, and the second 'back up' inverter made it OK, and are mounted and in place. The new lap top computers are there and the printer we picked up as well. I will post a big write up like last years as soon as I get home and recuperate from the travel a bit. Ben is on his way back to Sydney Airport already. All in all, it was a fun adventure. Rich
