As we had a leaking propeller shaft when arriving to Monastir we put the boat on the hard and changed the sealings and was happy that we solved the problem. But we hadn't! when crossing to Sardinia it started to leak even worse, then the electric bilge pump failed, the Navionics charts stopped working and the forestay to the main mast broke.. We pumped manually and navigated with 15 years old charts but finally we reached Olbia where we bought a new bilgepump and a lot of grease for the propeller shaft. We contiued up along the east coast of Sardinia and Corse and crossed to Ile de Porquerolles and reached Port St Louis where we once againg put the boat on the hard. The men driving the travel lift remembered us from 2010!! - they dropped us accidately.
Now we bought a new stuffing box and took down the masts. The Navionics charts started to work after a new release of the app.
Everything was back in good order again.
