Stephan, looks like the weather will break some so I'll try it tomorrow. Also looks like the valves could be some of the problem. I would love for you and the Mrs to come, however, being unemployed, savings in the tank due to stock market losses, and health insurance thru the roof, things are a little tight. However, if you happened to drop by, We could at least do dinner, maybe arrange for a cabin for a couple days. There is a repair guy nearby but he doesn't speak any english. I only know a few words and numbers in italian - but the guy from the chandlery, from hungary, speaks both italian and english, and if I can wait until he gets back from the inlaws - in China, he'll help me out too. such is cruising in foreign countries - lot of fun have a great day
