The Italians really can not buy new boats now, because they can not find mooring for them. Forget the 10% transito rule (the French pretty much do that). On the west coast of Italy, stay out in the islands, on the east coast, well, go to Croatia, on the foot, go fast! VBR, Ed, Thistle
What can I say. You are damn right, mate. And with the death in my heart I'll admit that my country is not made for cruisers . But that's also the reason why I am made my plan to sail away...
