Yes....Still Waiting

Preveza Marina, Greece

Our dock lines it seems, are stuck fast.  Needless to say, it has to do with a simple part for an American engine.  In Europe they don't take kindly to importing such spares and not only must we wait for it to be sent (to Greece - and all the complications that involves) but also be slugged 23% VAT then add 50 something % import duty.  And we complain about 10% GST!!! We are on rations of bread & water (almost).

To add insult to injury, we've also had to attend to the main engine, replacing a corroded "something" and the starter (or stopper) on Bruce's outboard.  It's a late start for the 7 year itch. Technical Terminology to be provided by our Cap'n who has developed quite the swear word vocabulary.

Oh well, life could be worse, but our float plan is decidedly more like that famed Australian Boating Event, Henley on the Todd Regatta. 

Mmm, well, this might just do...no mechanical parts involved

Although this has just a little more character....
