Could have gone either way.

Tremendous.
Just when things were going too well it appears that the Isuzu tour bus didn't want to come.
Chief mechanic and engine blagger Marko has a quick tweak and perhaps a bit of gentle adjustment with a micro-adjuster and there she is. Running sweet!

So we leave sunny Vassiliki today at 1600. Ferry leaves port of Igoumenitsa at 2300 which give us what would be plenty of time to convince Minoan Lines (ferrys) that
they in fact are sponsoring us and we can get on the ship.

If that works then we arrive Ancona at 1400 and then hoof it up past Milan(o) to Lake Como, erect tent. Bingo.
Have to get boat sorted and on start line by 1300
Sunday for race 1 Italian Nationals. Super

So now we set off not really knowing what is to come. I could go either way, and probably will.
