    Cartagena, doing your own work?

    Just a quickie, I think Ascar only have to pay the marina (as does Rojo) if they do work on the marina site. We had a job done by them in the summer and we sat in their hoist bay at the yard all day whilst they worked. The bill came from them direct, so I don't think YPC took a cut. BTW, if you...

    Cartagena, doing your own work?

    Hi Graham, Jon Snow may me available for 'odd jobs' but he has officially retired from working here, so you have to find someone who knows his number as it is not available from the marina office. (There are a couple of boats who know him) Regards engine work, there are three possible options...

    Cartagena, doing your own work?

    Not sure about RCRC, but YPC network is average-to-good depending where you are located (in relation to aerials).

    Cartagena, doing your own work?

    Hi, You have two options in Cartagena, neither of which are associated with Yacht Port Cartagena (YPC). Firstly RCRC (yacht club) will lift and hold in a crane (15t) for below the waterline work, they have short loan of cradles (I think) for you to go on the hard for longer jobs, but not for...

    Dona Barca, Portimao

    Whilst on the yard in Portimao/Parchal, we ventured across the road bridge into Portimao itself and succumbed to the aroma of grilled fish eminating from somewhere under the arches. There are three restaurants in a little courtyard there, we chose 'Dona Barca' because of the charming waitress...

    Flares in Portimao

    Probably true that Ondanautica can't be bothered with the bureacracy, but not sure about the legal requirement to have flares on a leisure craft, my (albeit limited) understanding is that IF you have flares they HAVE to be in date, ie 'out of date' flares are illegal and liable to get you fined...
