THOSE OF US WITH BOATS IN THE MED

[Portofino]

Sounds great .
The marina in Savona is next to the Azimut factory .Feels a bit industrial on entry , but worth it as the city is really nice and a short walk .You are right in the centre .
On the way in on the RHS are plenty of yards you will pass them, the marinas are right in the corner .

Varrazzi a few miles E is a nice marina if Savona does not happen .Baglietto factory here , more eye candy .

You will like Loano well worth a visit .

spot the boat anyone ? ......it’s in there .

We arrived yesterday via LHR had a form locator thrusted on us in the plane from BA and completed it as you do!
Then got off plane and could not give the form away! no one would take it, the passport guys did not want to know!
I had a quick fix on my passerelle and now tomorrow i am in San Remo, I then go to Imperia and Loano and Savona although cant find a website for them so may need to-hone, I am booked in to Genoa old port and will take a look at the marina at the airport as this is favourite for leaving it over winter as they have a massive cheap offer!
I am going down Pisa next week and then back up to finish in Genoa.
I should have done more than 14 days in Italy so hopefully will be ok with flying back or driving via Germany and non stoping to the tunnel!
I am looking for some guadinage for Genoa Marina at the airport marina so if anyone has any contacts that would be good.

Truro - I am based in the airport marina in Genoa, I've sent you a PM

Didn't work

A brush......I have to use a paint scrapper, a good 2 hours each time.

Just another day on the Med

2 of us doing 3 props takes about that, wire brush or brown teak pad in the summer.

Assuming they've been polished in the yard, that is

I’ve found that if you’re happy at six knots you can get away with an annual scrub
