Photo: A hard daybreak emergency haulout...

Our grateful thanks to Ollie and his boys, the marina staff of Vista Mar and to Jacqui for saving Sänna from a near-sinking disaster, when a suddenly leaking thru-hull fitting threatened to flood the main cabin bilges and the whole boat. Ollie's keen eyes and quick thinking with extra pumps, a diver and a wooden bung graciously supplied by our good friend Bob onboard Singularity saved the day. Jacqui and Cesar arranged to quickly haul Sänna out of the water, a precarious high-tide crack-of-dawn exercise fraught with problems given Sänna's fifty-foot length.

Meanwhile, back in covid-ridden authoritarian misgoverned England, we ourselves were totally powerless to intervene...

Thanks to everyone involved.
