Travemünde

We read the weather forecast for Monday carefully and decided to sail to Travemünde on Sunday.

Travemünde is located at the mouth of the River Trave and is Germany's largest Baltic Sea port with ferry connections to Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia and Lithuania.

It was here that Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks family had their summer residence. The town still seems like a fashionable resort town with a nice beach, patricia villas, restaurants, jewelry stores, clothing stores and hotels.

We easily found Boebs Werft, an old reputable boatyard with its own harbor.

Hardly we had the duck before a fishing boat with Danish national flag and German visitor team sailed into the harbor.

Not only was it Danish. It was also from Humlebæk.

Strange

The boat turned out to belong to Søren. He has been with his boat in Humlebæk for a couple of years without us noticing each other. Now he was on his way home, after sailing for almost 4 months on the canals of Germany, Holland, Belgium and France.

We had good talks, tips on canal sailing, had dinner together and were allowed to borrow his maps and pilot books of the canal areas.

Tuesday morning we said goodbye to Søren, were visited by a journeyman and an apprentice who had to make the fridge and while they started the work, we sailed over to the crane, where 3 young men started the branching.

There were now 5 people besides us on board. Although it all reminded me a bit of the scene “Crowded Cabin” in Marx Brothers movie “a Night at the Opera” there was system in things.

However, the cleaning went a lot easier than repairing the fridge.

The journeyman could not find the fault, scratched his neck, tested wiring, thermostat and relay, called the mobile phone, sent the apprentice away for tools and once in a while stuck his head up in the cockpit to ask about something.

Eventually, he managed to locate the error. The problem was the switch on the main panel. When he had mast a little with it, the compressor ran again. A new switch cannot be obtained until in a week. It's a little long to stay here because of it. We are therefore trying to find an electrician further down the route.

The 3 young men got rid of the mast and spent a couple of hours packing the rig together.

In the early morning we will visit a mechanic who will give the engine a quick check.

And then we are ready for the channels.

 

Thank you for reading the report 

We love hearing from readers.

Ah, yes, I've also had mysterious problems with electrical equipment, all of which have come from bad connections in the main panel. Everything obviously corrodes on a boat, so you have to be plugged in and change your contacts (I switched the main panel with 12 contacts last year and suddenly everything seems impeccable.) Good luck 🙂

It is not very easy to pay the Tepai tax online. The official manual was last updated in May 2019. Since then, quite a few changes have been made.

Here's what worked on August 16, 2022 and May 15, 2023

Start to apply on https://www1.aade.gr/aadeapps2/etepai/

You can check whether your application has been approved by going to the front page (Where you started)

Your new application is now at the bottom of the list. Scroll to the right. The last column now says `New'.

After a few minutes (sometimes a few hours) you will receive an email with two attachments. The one 'Application form' is your application. The second 'ePavorolo' is your payment information. Take a printout of the last one and take it to a post office or bank if you prefer to pay your Tepai there. 

If you don't want to spend your time finding a post office or a bank and que up for a couple of hours, you can pay online.

Log in to your online bank. 

Now fill in the payment request like this

Recipient

IBAN:

GR1201000230000000481090510

Name:

International Authority for Public Revenue (AADE)

Address:

Sina 2-4

City and Postcode:

106 72 Athens

Remittance to receiver 

The 20 digit 'Administrative fee code' which you will find in the ePavorolo file. It is important that you do not insert anything other than the 20 digits.

Recipients bank

The Bank's Bank Code:

BNGRGRAA

Remember to indicate that you want to pay in EURO.

Payment is made at 15.00:XNUMX CET.

Log in after an hour or two https://www1.aade.gr/aadeapps2/etepai/

At the bottom right it now says 'Paid'.

...Voila

You can save the file in Pdf format. Then show it on your mobile phone, tablet or PC if you need to document that you have paid your TEPAI. You can of course also make a print of it.

PS

If for some reason you do not receive an email with the application and payment information or receive your payment back, you can try to complete the payment with the code that begins with RF and is followed by 23 digits.

It is on the web form in the column to the left of the column where it says 'New'.
