VOLVO FIXED!!!(?)

So - Anthony Hopkins came this morning with the turbo, or so i thought. When he spoke I realised that it was his Portuguese twin. In any case, he was a dab hand with a wrench and we now have a new turbo.
I am not quite sure how the Volvo parts and labour warranty works as I still had a bill of €200 to pay. I shall pick that up with someone else later though.
After lunch Carlos from NautiRadar - (great name eh!) will come and we will fit and calibrate the replacement "smart"pilot autohelm from Raymarine.
Its good to be getting some items off the list.
Still very hot - not a cloud in the sky. Bunks are nice and dry now.
I need to find a solution to the mosquitoes - for some reason they particularly enjoy eating my elbows. Very strange.
