Friday 8th March Mourne Park Northern Ireland

However this was not the end of the saga, on Tuesday, having booked my flight back to Ireland, leaving San Juan Puerto Rico on Thursday 7^th I received a phone call from the Coast Guard informing me they were going to serve me with a removal order to be fulfilled within seven days, after which followed a number of frantic phone calls to underwriters and local representatives, who affirmed the insurance would pay any costs. The order was finally issued to me on Wednesday at 3.30pm and stated that all fuel and oil must be removed from the vessel within ten days, so the boat could stay where she was! More phone calls and assurances that all was in hand (if the order was not fulfilled I as the registered owner was, in the eyes of the Coast Guard, liable and would be billed or fined or both. After an early supper I retired and turned on the TV which was on the weather channel, and talking about a major storm bringing high winds and snow to the New York area where planes were already being delayed and cancelled (my flight plan involved a change of planes in New York). After not allot of sleep I left the hotel at 1am on Thursday for my 6am flight expecting the worst, in the event there I encountered no delays and got into Dublin at 5.40 am on Friday 8^th although I left Puerto Rico at 21°C New York at 0° and Dublin at 2°C and raining, however when my suitcase arrived I noticed there was no lock on it, on opening it I found a card from the US Transportation Security Administration, informing me that my bag had been selected for physical inspection, fearing the worst I left a thorough check until I reached Mourne Park, where I found the only thing missing was an elderly computer and its battery, which I had used as my course computer on Snow White, another link with her lost.
