Dinghy in for Repairs

As arranged Maria and her husband from Astilleros Sandokan arrived at CNV bang on 10:00 to collect my dinghy. I sat in the back of their pickup on the way back to the workshop.

Once there the dinghy was inflated and work started straight away.

Astilleros Sandokan repair old dinghies and build new ones. They even make their own pumps with which to inflate their dinghies.

I left them to it and they promised to have the work finished next tuesday.
