GOZO,,,!!!

After our quick exit from Sicily anticipation was high
with the next planned port being our goal of Gozo,
with a favourable wind and slight sea all was well,
hmmm, too good to be true, by sunset a wild vibration
had formed from the prop shaft,,
few hours of inspection and we had narrowed it down
to being something cought around the prop,,,bugger,,
we limped into the nearby port of
Empolducle for a first light inspection with snorkel and mask,
a mucky comercial port and murky water was not the most inviting.
Still needs must but luckily as we moored this
orange python looking thing appeared from the stern,
quickly wrestled by Malcolm and myself we
pulled around 15 meters of this 4 inch diameter
rope from under the boat,
with some testing all seemed fine and we were again out and on our way,,
loosing just 4/5 hours.

Our new eta to Mgarr, the port of Gozo was looking like 18.30 perfect for a celebration beer or two. Anticipation was once again high as we arrived as expected all showered shaved and ready for a few cold ones,,,,,nice.....
