THE LAST 2 YEARS OR SO SEEM TO BE AN ENDURANCE TEST IN PAPER WORK OF COURSE ENDING IT WOULD SEEM NOW IN A GRAVE YARD OF SHIP WRECKS IN IBIZA-ST EULALIA TO BE PRECISE.
THE LOCALS KNOW THE PROBLEM-- IF THEY SPEND TIME QUOTING FOR REPAIRS AND THE BOAT SEEMS UNREPAIRABLE ,THEY KNOW THERE TIME SPENT ON SUCH AN EXERCISE WILL BE WASTED.RESULT NO ONE WANTS TO QUOT THE INSURANCE COMPANY WONT ACCEPT THE BOAT AS BEING UNREPAIRABLE - SO THEY ROT IN DRY DOCK. DESPITE OFFERS TO PAY FOR THERE TIME NOT ONE COMPANY HAS COME FORWARD. THE INSURANCE COMPANY PANTAENIUS UK LTD DID MANAGE TO GET THE BOAT "LU LU BELLE" A BRIGAND 36 MADE BY CAMPER NICHOLSON ON TO DRY DOCK IN ST EULALIA BUT THATS AS FAR AS IT GOES NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW ME OR THE BOAT,CANT GET PRICE FOR REPAIRS CANT GET DEFINATE WRITTEN CONFORMATION THAT THE BOAT IS UNREPAIRABLE--I HAVE TRIED BELIEVE ME --TRIED TRIED I AM EXHAUSTED WITH THIS ENDLESS STORM I HAVE LOST SIGHT OF LAND AND ALL HOPES OF RESCUE ARE FADING IF YOU CAN GET A FIX ON ME PLEASE HELP.

Is that - with a quote?

I think you might need it in writing

after two years I would consider getting a solicitor involved, the insurance company will probably settle a lot quicker when they realise you have had enough and it could cost them a lot more.

Is there a middle road? Would Pantaenius agree to advance the amount of the survey?

Could you advance it and include it in the final amount of the claim?

AS THIS IS THERE BILL FOR BEING INVOLVED WITH THE BOAT UP TO DATE-I SAID I WOULD PAY WHEN WE GO TO IBIZA END JULY / AUGUST THEY HAVE AGREED THAT BUT BESIDES SAYING THE BOAT IS UNREPAIRABLE ARE RELUCTANT TO GIVE QUOTATION AND SUBMIT DETAILS.
THE SPANISH MARINE COMPANIES SAY THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME -THE AREA AROUND ST EULALIA IS GRAVEYARD FOR PENDING INSURANCE CLAIMS .

I have every sympathy with your predicament and would suggest you get a solicitor to gee up your insurance company, as already suggested. Oh, and...

COULD YOU STOP SHOUTING IT'S GIVING ME A HEADACHE
