Ep33 | The Covid test that got us home
As the UK went into full lockdown we were battling to get back to Venice and our boat Fair Isle. Three covid tests within 48 hours and lots of questions from immigration officials and we made it!
So season 3 begins and Venice may be in the grips of the virus too, but it’s still a vibrant lovely place to be..
We talk to artists here on the Island of Certosa who live and work on two tug boats in the marina. And we check over an Amel Sharki for Pete & Deb, a Canadian couple who watch our videos and got in touch because they cannot get out to see the boat they are buying here in Venice, so we go and see it for them.
We shown a new deck seat in the video & people have asked for a link, so here it is… https://www.comfortseat.nl/cockpit/?lang=en
