Waiting with bated breath to find out about the engines, batteries, watermaker etc. We are actually quite jealous as, assuming all is well, you have a magnificent trip trip north through the canals to look forward to. We are told that we will at some point be given a 1 year extension on our "Admission Temporal" even though it expired one year ago. Assuming you will get the same. I will forward any correspondence with Aduana.
