pantaenius never paid

My name is Pat 

My Father is an experienced sailor with more than 40 years at the sea. we have been sailing dinghies since I was a baby.

We have not big money but we managed  to buy Voodoo, is and old Mini transat Class boat

It is the end of the year and since we started out in 2008 we have covered 2000 miles in  Voodoo  I have already reviewed when things go wrong, so for balance I thought I would highlight some of the best places we have been to. I have chosen one destination in each country we have visited, though there are many other fabulous places in different  countries.

Tresco –  Cornwall

We moored on either side of Tresco. In New Grimsby Sound on passage to Ireland and in Old Grimsby Sound on the way back. I’ve heard people be a bit sniffy about Tresco because the south end of the island is so well tended. But in fact this is one of the most stunning things about it. It is an island of two extremely different halves. Of course the views everywhere are incredible. When the sun is out the beaches have the feel of a south pacific island. The moorings are a bit pricey but it is possible to anchor. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Muros – Spain

The town is absolutely lovely with its old narrow streets overlooking a nice bay. The marina is pricey, but probably the best I have ever stayed in, with the office, lounge and laundry all set in an old converted cottage. It has a great family feel about it. If you love fish Muros is certainly a top destination too and we were there for the fabulous Virgin del Carmen fiesta with its waterborne parade. Despite the comments in the pilot guide about anchoring difficulties plenty of yachts anchored in the bay with no major issues. However, our best time was away from the town, when we anchored off a beach around the corner. I could walk into Muros and we could swim or row to the beach to play for the afternoon. We even collected delicious mussels at low water, whilst some locals were picking the razor clams.

Culatra – Algarve, Portugal

People just anchor here and stay for the whole summer and I can see why. What a fantastic place. Away from the traffic children can run around in relative safety, they cannot go far because it is a small island. Many people just seem to hang around barbequing fish that have been collected by the fleet of small, often single person boats. There is also the community of catamarans in the lagoon, some of which are permanent inhabitants. Ferries to Olhao and Faro mean that you can get everything you might need, but it is fun to just stay on the island and meet the people, including sailors from all over Europe. 

 I will not give the details of the sinking of our loved boat.

As soon as posible we contact this insurance company.
they delayed everything. Asking everyday for a new paper.
After this disaster I have a complete  lack of  confidence about this fake insurance company.

This company  is  expert in offering things that they are not able to do. Keefer  Archer is at the Palma office in Spain is the responsible. They never said the truth, and were experts in delaying everything.

Dont loose your money  !!!!!!

This kind of companies suck your money.
After NINE  years with them, when I needed help, they run away.

 
Keefer Archer knows every way to ruin your boat.
Never again !!!!!!

We have posted all these problems to Cruisers forum.

I can imagine how they pressed to make the post disappear.

We  agree with this similar blog.
