Bloody British Government


We had to wait in alicante for 11 weeks as it is the drug centre of spain and we were advised by the harbourmaster that to leave without the ships papers would land us in prison and the boat arrested. (NO CHANCE) We were waiting for the SSR papers to come from the UK and 4 times we phoned them and explained the situation and they said Quote: They are in the post Sir. When Clive heard that we had'nt left and i explained the problem he said " I will have the paers with you in 3 days. Three days later we had the papers and when I asked Clive what he did he told me I did'nt want to know but involved a lot of swearing and a coule of threats. Finaly we were of. We set sail on a beautifull sunny day under full sail with the wind on the beam couldnt be better
