30 minutes after the planned time of departure Ewald is drinking the last sip of cold morning coffee.
OFF IT GOES –
Good luck, untill we meet again,
somewhere between Triest and Ancona, so I hope.

Ewald has found a sleeping-place close before St. Veit, we are both highly pleased by the distance mastered. Unfortunately also some problems showed. Not only that the inn beside Ewalds sleeping-place is closed, we are also concerned about the Fergy. In a flash action a leaking seal of the dieselpump had been changed one hour after the departure. Working time and material had been given to us for free –THANKS- So the sometimes unsufficient supply of diesel could be repaired, but unfortunately the Fergy is also loosing a lot of oil. First diagnosis- this will work for at least another 1000 hours of running, in case it is not getting worse.

80 km before Venedig – Ewald has found a sleeping place beside a waste deposure.
Fergy is loosing 2 litres of Oil ! ! ! From two holes in the doublesump it is splashing “merrily”.
