Would you like me to courier my new Henchman Ladders, Jeff, then you can wash them, rather than relying on the rain ...9
Can you please send some of that rain over here Roger, we have only seen 2 hours of light rain since we have been here and my solar panels need a good washing
We stayed there both ways..
Tbh Graham we didn’t even know we had set sail! The queue to board was manic but once we were on board it was great. The signs said to leave your vehicle and go upstairs but nobody moved, everyone just sat in their cars, so did we. The first we knew about landing was when the bow lifted up and people were starting their engines. It was a stroke of luck that we managed to bring the crossing forward from Good Friday. Arriving on the Thursday meant that we could get a pitch, ahead of the Easter rat race. We are staying here until Tuesday before venturing round the island. We have developed a whine when we get to 85 km/h. Not sure if it’s a wheel bearing or something more serious, it stops when we go round a long right hand bend but then returns when we straighten up. I feel sure it’s a result of the problem with pot holes over here. The surface has been abysmal since the Mont Blanc Tunnel, I find it very distressing having to swerve about just to avoid them. It takes the pleasure out of driving because you can’t check out the scenery. I have a piece of tyre missing from my near side front wheel meaning I shall probably have to replace the tyres when we get home.
Lol, I thought the same when I read the post, tempting fate!You've been on this earth long enough Rog to know that your earlier post [IIRC, the gist, if not verbatim], '2006 M/Home just keeps chugging along, never misses a beat, don't know how it does it', was inviting the 'Kiss of Death' from life ...

Only if you know where you are going! We parked up on a little car park, next door to the boarding point, thinking we could just slip round in the morning and board. How wrong can you be?
If you are travelling from Messina back to the mainland the signage is non-existent until you get very very close, or at least it was in 2017. Basically head through town till you get to the seafront and turn left!! Keep going and you will come to the boarding lanes, if it is still the same you need to get out and buy a ticket from the booking office, cost around €55 in 2017.
You should try the road from Badajoz to Pomarao, surprised nothing had dropped off and the suspension not wrecked - never again!
'Earth to Earth,
Know what you mean! Been there, quite horrifying, but over here you get a bit of speed up, just start to relax and BANG you run over a huge pothole, lumps missing out of the tyres, serious stuff.
