I feel your pain Joe. I’ve had 3 boats over the years. Each and everyone left me adrift at least once. Certainly boat ownership is not for the faint of heart. Hopefully the repairs go well and the holiday continues without incident.

Hopefully you will be covered by good decision making with the insurance policy. But I feel your pain. I have 3 boats now, plus a motorhome.

Good Luck with the repairs, Joe.

Your photos are amazing!

I’m looking forward to you continuing your vacation & allowing us to join you (virtually).

Seems like my previous post disappeared. I try again. Psrts: you can delete if it comes double.

Got the boat up from the water. The reason for the problem is that the sterndrive came loose. Only hanging in the hydraulic hosed. The idiot at the workshop that mounted the Sterndrive forgot to screw in a couple of lock screws. Anticipate an unpleasant discussion with about who should pay for this.

Since we are holidaying at home we opted to be tourists in our own city.

Here are a few pictures from the mainstreet with the castle at the end. The King lives there. The mainstreet goes past the parliament. Every autumn the king drives in an open car from the castle to the parliament to open the autumn session. Very formal. The King has no public political view and is non political. Still the government hold meetings with him at the castle every Friday. This is according to the constitution which is the world's second oldest constitution, after the US constitution.

The castle was built in 1849 and the park has been open to the public since. This is unique in Europe.

Last part is a few pictures from the old fortress. The fortress was built around year 1300.

Here's a link to it's history for those who are interested:

It's doing weird things when I try to quote or copy the first pics that can't be seen and none since then.

I see something like in OUP's post - only the BB code for the images. I have to copy & paste the URLs from that code into a browser window to see the pictures (which are very good).
Joe, do you have BBCode On when posting? :dont:

I've always used Tapatalk when posting.

I have posted a few pictures from the parliament and the castle again here. Can you see these?[img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210702/8c2fc131ff79fa949294a80fe0042a9d.jpg[/img][img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210702/d231344a71e5fdc8b3931869a7b3e85c.jpg[/img][img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210702/0b65b215f0a097b27b3d62242e0c7850.jpg[/img][img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210702/1c6098617d8f556603988a616d215817.jpg[/img][img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210702/7a3e5f983319b0b682e7742d398d0a79.jpg[/img]
