The insurance comes from a big pot. It’s impossible for insurance companies to bear the brunt so they all put into a big one , I think CSS or something like that. My car was fully comp but the contents aren’t covered. We have “ExPats” insurance and it turns out it doesn’t cover you for the country you live in, so if I decide to have a holiday in San Sebastián or Cadiz or Mallorca I’m not covered, so only my car and maybe the cost of getting home. The go fund me has been amazing and friends, family and customers have raised a lot to replace some of my tools. Should cover all of my lost Dewalt battery stuff. I’m blown away by people’s generosity at helping out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will hopefully be venturing out Wednesday, not sure what for yet. I have one possible crew have room for 1 more. Post here, drop me a message or call me if interested

We have Electric, water is from a water tank up on the hill a (Pozo) don' know till we arrive. This is devastating for the area, you and I know from experience in this Country this sort of multi agency stuff takes for ever to finalise. The longer term financial effects will be more than they can afford and will scar the area for decades, they will be approaching the EU for monetary help. Flood defences will cost millions and the rise in water retained may proof too much for the Dry River bed divert scheme in place, so even more preventative defences required. A bit like Holes bay flood defence scheme, it will take decades to build. This is just a matter of time before it reaches Blighty.

Hi Mal. It seems it was literally luck of the draw. The diverted river did indeed save the city centre. We got home yesterday via bus. It took a winding route through the paddy fields area. That area seems to have been ok ish as it’s designed for water. The A7 will remain closed for weeks. The people of Valencia, especially the young are out in there thousands with brooms and buckets, and the farmers are all there with tractors and diggers. Many places don’t have water and internet. The city itself is business as usual. It’s good your friends have checked. Find out about power and water before you go if you can. Today, Monday, I’ll begin the ballache of cars , clothes, tools etc, but it’s not lost on me how devastating this is for Spain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We are leaving this Thursday Arrive Saturday morning, we heard about your ordeal on TV and tried to offer you our place for refuge, but we could not contact you. We believe our Bungalow is ok, our friends have been there and said it looks ok except for some external stuff. I have been watching all our Local places like Bonaire shopping center with an underground carpark on you tube, it is 6ft deep in there and likely some tragedies. The whole thing is overwhelming and likely to be an ongoing scenario for months to come. The shopping arcade one of Europe's largest when built is trashed. Along with 4 local villages at least, completely trashed and buried in mud and cars. Lots of facilities still not available so taking lots of provisions. So glad your both okay and so sorry for all you losses.

We’ve had some good times on Doombar , Andy. I’ll be sorry to see her go . But needs must. If you need my boat trailer to move her we might be able to work it round a trip somehow.

Hope things work out for you andy, best of luck 👍

Good luck with the sale mate. very stable fishing boats and a great engine.
