better safe than sorry

On the seventeenth, we wanted to go to Leba.
If we made it by two o'clock, we could still go to the Lontzkedune, one of the largest moving dunes in Europe, on the same day. The dune was part of the Słowiński National Park and could only be reached on foot.
Unfortunately, Gary gave us a little extra task that pushed our arrival to five o'clock. The fuses for the low beam, which Sebb had just replaced a few days ago, had melted again. But it wasn't the melting wires themselves that had burned out - as is typical for a fuse - but the plastic bodies of the so-called torpedo fuses had melted. The problem wasn't due to excessive currents, but it was an issue of contact resistance at the fuse terminals. Gary's electrical contacts had oxidized and corroded over the many years of operation, but how could they corrode to the extent that the fuses melted?
Sebb equipped all the connections with new terminal ends. We had wisely brought cable connectors, terminal lugs, and of course, the crimping tool, which proved to be the right decision. The fuses were also replaced, and the contacts were cleaned again with cotton swabs and contact spray.
In the end, everything worked again.
So we had already spent an hour in the parking lot of a restaurant on the road to Leba, so it was only fair that we at least had a cappuccino and a small snack there. They served typical Polish cuisine, sausage soup, and salad with beets, delicious!
After we reached our target campsite in the late afternoon, we went on a long walk along the sea and had the great luck of encountering a few deer at the forest's edge on our way back.
