We had been about to half firm with Julia and Konstantin when a big cloud of white steam issued from underneath the hood.
We struggled to determine the place the fluid was coming from however in the long run we known as a tow truck with Gabriel’s assist, the custodian of the seaside.
GANNET2 it turned out was too huge for the mattress of the truck, so after that scary interlude making an attempt to load onto the truck we settled on…
…on a tow.
With entrance wheel drive you may’t tie far or quick so at a sedate 15 mph we trundled the ten miles down the PanAmerican to Caldera.
What a terrific Sunday afternoon. The mechanic took out the radiator and on Monday Konstantin and I’ll go to the radiator store in Copiapò and see what we will do.
If it may well’t be repaired we must order a substitute from the States or Mexico. The radiator is a Promaster particular half and after I broke it in Belize we needed to order a brand new one so we could also be right here for a few weeks.
It may very well be worse. It may very well be higher too. We’d have a brand new radiator for $139 in two days if we had been in the US. Alternatively nobody would have torn down our radiator on a Sunday within the US.
I’m not feeling fortunate however you by no means know. We will see. And we now have our pals with us in order that feels good.
