One member asked that I share Marina costs and rather than just numbers, I decided to add info/comments on those items that are important to me. I'll separate by Country
Boat Size - If You have a 8, 9, 10 or 11 meter boat - good on You. For those who go beyond 12 meters especially 12.499 BEWARE or your beam is beyond
3.99 -BEWARE because You might be subjected to arbitrary pricing or at least be bumped up to much higher often 15m pricing. Some marinas ask but most take measurements off your documents that are requested probably 90%.
Low Season Rate Changes - some are Sept 1, More Oct 1 but others Nov 1
so check and often not noted on their web page if they have one
My usual preference is to anchor out however this trip was unique so using marinas became usual.
Hopefully, it will be of use to others.

Return? - Sure - “staff”was a guy (info on boat) who arrived on motorcycle w/name tag. Spoke english but struggled at times with reasoning - always wondered if he was the “proper” person. He offered and in my tired state I agreed to him being a Clearance agent - 20 mins and 110 euros later, I had my Transit Log. He also arranged fuel delivery
