Med boaters - will you get to your boat this year?

[julians]

You could sail up to any of those superyachts and they will think you are a tender from another superyacht and invite you aboard

We were moored next to something fairly tasty that night, I put my blue deck lights on, then a short while later he put his massive underwater blue lights on.

Nobody likes a showoff!

That’s a SY etiquette faux pas .
You don,t turn up uninvited unless you are paparazzi.

@julians
What in the can ? Powerful stuff .

If it’s any consolation I ve got a son equally useful on board .What is it about young uns theses days they turn up , eat+ drink you out , house , home and boat and empty the fridge and just flop down .
When does the the bank of mum + dad close the account?.

Boat looks nice btw .Perfect .

MrGoogler could say he was there to pick up the trash

Nice wide foredeck for throwing bin bags on….good idea ??

 

[Portofino]

Actually guys one of these used to turn up at the mothership SY to pick up the king of Saudi Arabia .
He had one made .
This ones got triple engines btw .Something like 3 x Isotta Franchini 700 Hp in a 45 back in the 80 s . it’s beam is near 4.5 M on a 14 M with a monster dead-rise hull It’s still alive and running .
One of the Italian SY builders Admiral approached Amarti and ask them to knock one up , rumours have it to sweeten the deal , you know Arabic business culture back then they expect a gift for a cousin or son , something like that when placing the order .

Admittedly yes it probably was used to move trash off the mothership …..rather quickly.

[Portofino]

Steady on Mr G , if the Saudi Royal family see this you will be getting a invite to the local embassy, and we may never see or hear from you again .We will miss your wit .

A load of small back plastic bin bags will be driven away by a back entrance an hour later

 

[Mr Googler]

They would need a lot of bin bags! ?

Can someone turn off the wind, enough already!

Is a rapid anti gen test now accepted for entry into Spain?

Spain to also accept travellers with cheaper rapid antigen tests

and

spth.gob.es

states "a diagnostic test [NAAT (nucleic acid amplification test, e.g. RT-PCR, RT-LAMP, TMA) /RAT (rapid antigen test)] has been performed and the result was negative."

Looks like you could be right...

 

[mcanderson]

Booked Eurotunnel this am for Med Boating part deaux. Will be back at end of August

 

[TonyR123]

its the spth.gob.es article which makes me believe that could be right. The news article is a little old

 

[Peterlewis321]

The news article is out of date but the spth site kind of suggests RAT is OK……but that has been the case for several weeks but only for returning Spanish residents…..all tourists needed a PCR or LAMP TYPE test……so not sure if things have changed or it says somewhere else in the small print that RAT is only for certain people…..it is a full time job trying to keep up with all this stuff!!

If you’re fully vaccinated more than 14 days ago, you don’t need any tests.

 

[Peterlewis321]

Yes, pretty much how I assumed it would work. I'll try and contact a marina there to see if they're aware of the situation regarding anchoring. I'm fully vaccinated now (2nd was last week) but my girlfriend has only had the 1 dose so far....

Did you make it to the Balearics? We are currently in Mallorca and so far not been asked to show any additional health forms or covid test results at all.

 

[TonyR123]

I am double jabbed but a few others going have only had one. Also not sure if you fill in the spth form how they know what type of test you have taken.
