Sunbeam 42DS just to add another make into the mix

I have my boat in Kremik as do a couple of other forumites. There is a restaurant on site, food is okay, not great.....okay. There is in season a fruit market from about May time and also a shop on site that you can get most things in but it is expensive. Alternatively there is a Lidl or Aldi...
