The big news with this saga is that the insurance company said they wouldn't pay so I had to employ the services of a solicitor .He sent a mail and the next day they agreed to pay the sum arranged and it has arrived. This money issue was causing too much concern so at least that has been dealt with but it is only one of the problems . It was a major one and for that reason I am for the time being a bit happier but just need to get the old boat in the water.
Tina has been out for a visit so did a load of sights.in Cartagena ,which was as important to the Romans at the time as Rome itself. The preserved ruins in town are quite amazing and they have been displayed very considerately.
English information is a bit sparse but most of the stuff is quite obvious. I have been to the naval museum, the military museum. This was on a par with IWM but less fancy The second gun emplacement, the massive English department store Corte Inglaise and another castle at the top of the hill.
Ali and Sooz have come over again so am staying at Alis place for a few days. Their trip has included skinny dipping in hot springs ( not me obs ) because I had to take the picture. Thermal spring swim,Sea swimming, very cold .Prehistoric caves later inhabited by a Roman family. jackdaw ravine -self explanatory and hill walks.
All good distractions from boat stuff. Still got good weather though a bit colder and that's about it for now hopefully next post will be entitled .Work complete,back in the water !!
