Ile de Groix

Ahoy,
the Ol' Girl and me are in the island of Groix. We have arrived as a boat show for racing types is about to kick off. The Captain of the Port has given me a sweet deal so I can stay long enough to sort out some vital post. As I approached Groix and saw a very large ferry coming out of the Port it struck me as strange that my NASA AIS did not alert me to its presence, I soon discovered that's because its stuffed, kaput, knackered and definitely not working. I may well encounter many more large vessels (not beer, boo hoo) in the area and a heads up, the likes of which the AIS should give, feels important as I am on my own, any assistance looking out helps dramatically. I immediately called the supplier who is going to take a look, I hope the UK postal service does not let me down. The Ol'Girl and me are still having problems with insurance, if I have to take on crew to counter this I will, finding them will be the tricky bit.
