There is a major problem with the electric system. Less than two weeks ago I had to change the start battery - today it was dead again. This time completely dead, the volt meter showed zero. I planned to go in to Ulvöhamn, an old fishing village at noon today. Nothing happened when I turned the key, control lamps all black.

In Ulvöhamn there was no help to get so I continued under sail 11 miles to the little town Köpmanholmen on the mainland. The local boat mechanic there happened to be Italian and authorised by Lombardini. But also very busy, this midsummer week is when many boat owners put their boats on the water. I have no idea how long this will take so for now I am stuck here.
