Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: Today the water heater was fixed but a lot of water was wasted to do that (testing and fixing), that’s the reason that today we have just 100 Gallons of water; please, we will need a refill of this. During the towing process the jumping cables were broke, We need a new pair of this.

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: I’m calculating that the level of the water tank (static) will need a refill in 3 days, but if this could be done asap it would be great given that in the coming days the climatic conditions could complicate this task.
The water heater is not working. It shows a message that said: E3. I’m attaching a picture of that.

Summary of health and safety issues: Given the presence of clouds during the morning and with little possibility of charging the battery of the solar panels, adding to this the small amount of diesel, the crew decided to follow protocols to save electricity for the night.
However, we received a diesel refill on time and the solar panels got the light from the sun sufficient to let the batteries be charged.
Questions, concerns, and requests to Mission Support: We are looking for a small buzzer to use as an alarm for the level sensor of the water tank. Any idea where to find it?
