Water Tanks over Winter

I am about to leave my boat for 2 to 3 months over winter here in the south of France. There is no chance of frost.

Do I leave the tanks full, empty or somewhere in between? Any suggestions?

Re: A Shengen Update please...

Has anyone on this forum actually been nabbed for being over AND suffered any penalties?

And I'm not asking if you know of anybody I'm really wanting to hear first hand. Less room for over...

Re: Shengen Question IV

Wow. Talk about off the beaten track.

Can't you guys sort your differences out in the car park? Or DM each other?

Cheers.

Re: Shengen Question IV

Thanks heaps, but I don't have any VAT issues. It's Shengen my query is about. Sorry for any confusion.

Re: Shengen Question IV

I bought a French boat in France and registered it in Oz. I chose NOT to pay VAT with the knowledge that I must leave the EU after 18 months thereabouts.

Re: A Shengen Update please...

Now that makes a lot more sense to me. Fingers crossed.

I'd love to hear from other liveaboards as to how they get around this Shengen issue.

I was intending to sail onto Italy in the next few months. There's an Italian embassy here in Monaco. Guess where I will be visiting Monday morning.

Re: A Shengen Update please...

Still trying to get my head around this visa issue.

In simple terms. Once you've stayed the 90 days, you must leave for 90 days?

Is that correct?

Thanks Dave.

But can I further show my ignorance and ask, what do I do now?

I will eventually be heading...

A Shengen Update please...

I have been happily sailing the French Med coast since last March (2014) quite oblivious to the Shengen requirements. I have a vague memory of being advised as an Australian I was exempt from it.

Re: Oceanis 45 Bow Thruster issues...

The bow thruster was and is only used as a last resort. Not to turn the boat 180 degrees as has been suggested. And I can assure you it was and is only ever used in short bursts.

And I was really...

Winter in Antibes

I am thinking of wintering in Antibes.

Re: Running A/C At Anchor on Moorings 3900 in July

Personally I think it's just good manners to at least try and adhere to certain, if not most lines of etiquette that have been in many instances, around since the year dot.
