FIRE FIRE FIRE


These must be the most frightening words ever heard on a boat at sea.

We were approaching Benalmadena marina when we had an electrical fire in the engine room . The automatic fire defence put it out but we had to get a berth. On arrival we were told they only had a berth for an 18 metre yacht so we had to take it at €35 a night. to keep the story short I will give the basic facts. We were helped by a spanish electrician called Carlos Centurian. He helped me rewire the boat completely found us new batteries and gave us his discount so we only paid 70%. for them. after being there for about 10 days we headed of for Fuengirola.

(if you would like to know more about the Benalmadena story post me your e-mail address and I will send the full story)
