Aletta Malta





You have not heard from us for a while as we have been in hibernation for a few weeks on the way to Malta.
The boss has been busy getting ready to come over.
They found nice friends to look after the house and dog Cleo.
Lucky dog, she will be fat when they get back !!
Fortunately the pirates left us alone whilst sailing towards Suez canal, and we have reached Malta.
There was a bit of a layover here waiting for the transfer to Istanbul. But we do not want to be there early. As the shipping companies then charge "demurrage" fees. That means a charge per day for the rent of the container and it is a lot !
Better to spent that money on fuel as we are very thirsty.

The intention is that we get loaded on the Tuesday the 20th and arrive in Istanbul on Saturday 24th of April.

The boss and the first co-pilot will be leaving for Istanbul with Turkish Airlines on Sunday. Not so sure about that Airline...
remember Amsterdam airport ?
They are going to try on Monday 27th to get me released.

We are really looking forward to some fresh air and cannot wait to get roaring along again.
Wonder about that battery...... will let you now next Tuesday
