He sauntered down the pontoon with a shopping trolley with his toolkit in it. He then peered at the batteries, verified that they had no charge, looked at the alternator and then took it off for testing. So far we haven't seen him though all his tools are still here so we are hopeful that we may be back on the go this evening. Watch this space.
Update 18:50
He has come back with the news that our alternator is knackered. He had a "new" one with him which we tried and it works. We have agreed to buy it as it has a bigger capacity than the old one. We are going to stick with it as more capacity is a good thing anyway. The relief of having a functioning engine is fantastic. Now, we are going to go to Vilagarcia tomorrow to try and get more charts and then anchor over on the other side of the ria before heading further south.
Hoorah!
