Thanks everyone for the posts, which gave me some things to try. The 'trip switch' on the pontoon kept going off, and it was only on our mooring.

Anyway put everything on gradually, and teh Kettle was the first problem, so replaced that. Next the air con went after about 20mins, but everything else was OK.

I also noticed the 'mains' light on my power panel would flicker when the aircon was on.

Anyway got out the vaseline and vaselined all the power bits on the plugs, then promptly dropped the end of the power line into the sea. Good job we had just vaselined it...

Anyway shook the water out, and re-connected it and all OK! Looks as though I must have had a dicky connection, which I suspect is at my boat end, so will sort it when we get back.

So a quick thankyou to all who responded!

We have now moved to Club Nautica in Palma, where we have been given the cheap moorings that manage to exaggerate every single passing craft....but the electrics OK
