Best Product Award


This might be long but worth it.
As boating people we find that the marine industry has made every product you will need at a price. Well we have found a product that does most of the cleaning jobs at a price of €2.75 for 750ml. The product is called Carolin Ultra Degraissant sadly it is not on sale in the uk but is in all European countries. We use it on the cloths washing to remove grease spots and hard dirt stains. On the boat it cleans black lines on the gel coat in a second. It de greases the engine in seconds all I do is spray the Carolin on the engine and gearbox wait 2 mins and then use an old spray bottle filled with warm water and rinse it of Then start the engine to dry all done in no time at all and leaves the engine room smelling lovely. On the boat we use it to clean the big windows you find on the CW's and takes seconds. In the house it will remove years of tobacco stains without any hard scrubbing and grease from the cooker the same way. Mould spots gone in seconds,garden chairs white in seconds the list goes on and on.
At a price that we can all afford FORGET all those expensive marine products and get yourselves some CAROLIN.

re supply

As we carry about 6 months food on the boat to save money we went back to Morlaix to restock the boat. After Sally had restocked for another 6 months we were ready for the off again this time heading west for L'Aberwrach and the new marina. on arrival we decided to stay on the mooring bouys for a few days as they are cheaper €14.30. Then we asked on the vhf if we could go into the new marina. The reply was a very nice polite young man in his rib who showed us to our place made sure we had all we needed and then headed off for his next coustomer. We had to move a couple of times because of the Figaro race boats but it was no bother as we were asked so nicely and helped each time. We feel that we must say that the all the staff from the harbourmaster to the girls in the office are the BEST they cant do enough for you. At the Cafe du Port you can get free internet access on either their computer or yur own laptop but as I have said before what does it cost you for a loaf of bread and a cup of coffee. We were in L'Aberwrach for a few days then left for Camaret.
