Wanted: A Honda man

As mentioned before I have to go and do the compulsory 3-year-check of my boat in August. Which I've managed to ignore quite successfully until now. But when computer man was fiddling about with my pink Dell I thought I'd give it a go. Especially since he doesn't speak German, and I'm not fond of publicly displaying my inability. Any inability actually, except for maybe my "technical skills". Anyway. Called the company who did the renovation of the boat last year. They asked which engine I have (at which time I said "don't you have it, you renovated it last year?"). Why am I supposed to know this? Well, it turned out it was stated on the boat-license. Ok, Honda it is. Honda BABE to be exact. Which is quite intriguing. For an engine. Turns out this company doesn't do Honda's. So he recommended a "one-man-company", which I'm sure is his cousin or something. Never mind. He didn't answer today, so will try tomorrow. I just hope he can come to Zürich, because I cannot see how I would transport the boat just to have the "Honda" checked.
