It has become a bit of a challenge getting stuff out to the boat.
Our dishwasher packed up last year so there were various options.
Usually, I would buy the one I wanted in the UK and take it with me in the trailer or car when we next go.
Alternatively, I could buy it in the UK and have it "shipped out"
But there don't seem to many suppliers who will deliver from the UK
So, in this case, I opted for a different solution.
I, initially, found it in Carefour and was thinking that we might collect one when we are out next week.
But I then researched the actual model that Carefour are selling and I found the manufacturer - even cheaper.
The result is a cheap dishwasher - about the same cost as in the UK.
No VAT issues
So, I ordered one last week and sent an email to our marina office, asking them if they would put it in JW's cockpit.
A few minutes ago, the Cockpit camera "went off" and sent this image to me:-
So I logged into the camera - panned and zoomed etc but I couldn't see it in the cockpit.
Found it!!
On the inside camera
It seems that the marina office have a key to JW that I didn't know about!!
Now that we are out of the EU, getting stuff to the boat is going to need to be something like this.
Buying locally and having it delivered seems to work.
The cameras are a good way of knowing when stuff has been delivered.
BTW
Thanks to @John100156 for keeping my old internet router working (rebooting it when it fails) until I can replace it next week.
Looks like a lovely evening out there - cant wait to get out
