Looking for Help - long shot

[emandvee44]

I have to send my liferaft to Southampton next week for servicing, which has already been arranged. I am looking for someone coming this way (Porto) who could collect it and bring it back some time after 2nd. May (when it would be ready) Remuneration to be agreed, but generous.
It is 62 Kgs., canister type.

Living in hope,

Michael.

Why don't you have it done in Portugal? OREY ANTUNES will do it for you to the highest standard and it will take less than a week.

The excess baggage on that would be more than the cost of a new one.

Not to mention that airlines don't like carrying things with gas canisters in. I think the OP wants a car or boat transfer.

Yes, of course I was looking for someone heading this way by road. It is going to UK by road.
Unfortunately, as our boat is coded, the liferaft can only be serviced by the manufacturer/supplier - Ocean Safety. There is a service centre in Gibraltar but transport to there would be more problematical.
I am hoping that someone will be driving this way, crossing from Portsmouth to Spain, and would like to have their motorway tolls paid plus a very large handful of beer tokens.
