View from our hotel room of Puerto Montt
After breakfast we went to the waterfront. Don and Rich visited the port captain to find out the process for checking in. Meanwhile, Rita and I checked out the many souvenir shops. Rita stopped at a small jewelry store and bought a ring with lapis lazuli. Lapis Lazuli is mined in Chile and Afghanistan.
We checked out some of the marine stores. Our charge controller got toasted when we plugged into power at Valdivia. We suspect a polarity problem. Not having a charge controller means we are unable to charge the batteries using the solar panels. So we took the opportunity to visit a solar power store to see what alternatives are available here.
More exploring tomorrow.
