Well, here we are on day 6 of our travels, still
not travelling. The alternators are now scheduled to be fitted on Monday
morning, so hopefully we can set off in the afternoon.
The weather should be better on Monday. At
the moment the Tramontane is howling outside, as it has been for the
past three days. Anastasia is weaving around trying to break away
from her moorings. Yesterday we left her for just one hour to do some
shopping and in that time she managed to break one of the bow lines. We
came back to find the port hull barging into the pontoon. Fortunately
Catana have plastic floats on their pontoon, so there was no damage done.
We now have two bow lines on each side just to be
safe.
We were just visited by three French customs
officers who went over all our papers. Fortunately everything was in
order. Andrea thinks they were after the guy who owned Anastasia before
us, who she reckons was Russian mafia. But then she also doesn't think
anyone has landed on the moon yet. |
