When as there even a time mine or your chart table isn't full of tools or bit?
Hope you sorted out the mast problem.

Now! The broken mast bits are too large for the table ? ?

Not sorted yet, but looks like it can be done with the mast in place. Need to get parts somehow now. Just got to Porto Brandinghi, south of Olbia, to sit out the Mistral. Figured getting parts shipped to a marina is more likely to succeed (with DHL, not Poste Italiane!). Just need an answer from the supplier now.

Meanwhile the heatwave is peaking, but at least the water is still a cool 21, so very refreshing. Not too crowded yet, school holidays about to start though.

This may help , the other year the chandlers in the boat yard just before Oibia Quay on the right just as you go in was very helpful they took in several parcel for us and SMS us as each one arrived .Sandra Nautical.
We give then a very bottles of wines .
Good luck
Oh and they charge on the Quay now and they move you if you anchor in the middle where we done for years, but here a tip , go pass the Quay towards the bridge take care it start to shallow , you see some old boat tied back to the road ,Drop your anchor and tie onto the road side , need long lined as it shallow off by the road , you be ok there as your not anchored .
