What&#8217;s going on?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Sunday. Marko has contacted the manufacturer of the pontoons, an Italian company&#8230; but of course everything is closed in Catania today. First we have to find out why the pontoon is losing air; there is no visible leak \u2013 a leaky valve, a micro-crack? I also ask Massimo, the god-like harbour master in Catania (everyone knows him, he knows everyone, he is the undisputed boss here), but even he waves his hand dismissively. There&#8217;s no way to determine the cause; we would have to take the boat out. But even he doesn&#8217;t know anyone who could investigate and fix it immediately.<\/p>\n<p>The valves are tight. I already found that out with Marko&#8217;s remote assistance. So now I&#8217;m off to the city \u2013 into the alleys and past countless restaurants with their delicacies. A gourmet paradise! I stock up on fresh fruit, buy a few gourmet treats &#8230; It&#8217;s good to eat well, especially when no one knows what will happen next.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, nothing really new is discovered, except that the manufacturer is too far away, but has a branch in Malta \u2013 perfect, that&#8217;s on my route. So I enjoy another day in the alleys and markets of Catania before setting off for Syracuse.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4007,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-begegnungen-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
