Does anyone know a place for trailer storage at lake Garda? Ideally to the west or south of the lake, but beggers can't be choosers so I be happy with anywhere!
I got myself in a pickle. I have guaranteed a buoy and trailer storage bar two days of my holiday. I could book a marina berth for the whole holiday but they can't store the trailer and my campground doesn't have the storage either.
Please help with ideas.

The place is near Manerba.
J think that in this place they have trailer storage ;-)
Many thanks. I actually spoke to them several weeks ago, and they only do monthly storage. There has been a further mistake by our travel agent such that our extra days weren't booked even though I paid for them. Anyway I got my refund and now don't have a boat/trailer shortage problem. But unfortunately also less time in my favourite place :-(
keep an eye out for Boomerang end of July til early august. Are you on VHF mark? I could pm you my mmsi etc.
i have been in Pacengo in the beginning of June. The campside "Camping le Palme".
100 meters from that, there is a very clean marina. It is the marina of Pacengo.
A very comfortable slip and also a lift .
The bouys are to rent from the campground. The trailer could be stored on campground for something around 5 euros the day, or just 100 meters from the marina, on the way to it, there is an open parking space , where the trailer could be stored.
Ahh but it is Italy - do they actually check people's speed?
O yes they do. I have been there several times over period of two summers on a yacht, 300hp Corvette speed boat and a 40hp rental boat. Attn: You can only "drive" 40hp and below if you dont have a licence. I think I saw the police (Carabinieri) every time I went out. I saw them once chase a sea cat, which was pretty cool to see. Also I heard last summer that there is somekind of "drink and sailing" thing going on with them now so they are stopping boats for papers and also sometimes just to see if the driver is sober.
A lot of (well a few) people die there every year, last summer a heard of a diver that got killed as some tourist could not read the bouyees correctly. Also a guy started to tank his speed boad, smoking and the boat exploded, killing all onboard and along with injuring two other boat crews waiting in line.
Here is my favorite spot. On the northern part of Sirmione is a beach which is the coolest place on the lake to relax. Either in the boat itself or just tie-ing the matress to the boat and float. Here is a link to it, you can see a video of the place in the bottom video (scroll down). http://www.desenzanoitaly.com/sirmione_lake_garda.html
Just got back from Italy a few days ago. Although we were staying near Venice we hired a car for the day and visited Garda. Struggled a little trying to find somewhere to park as we had only visited for a few hours before about 5 years ago. We eventually ended up just saying to hell with it and "diving" into a big car park that turned out to be free of charge. That must be a rarity these days.
We walked along towards Garda which took about an hour (including photographs and a stop in a cafe) and caught the boat down to Bardolino.
Two observations were that i) 40hp Ranieris were for hire near the pier in Garda for €55 for one hour, a bit dearer than those in the links, and ii) every time I took a photograph of ducks or swans on the lake; a young woman with large breasts wearing a bikini seemed to appear as if by magic. Can't think how that happened.
I think I managed to fool Mrs. Beard into thinking there was a fault with the camera rather than with me!!

I think I speak for everyone on here (well all the blokes anyway) when I say WHERE ARE THE PHOTOS!!!!!!!
Holy Cow! It surely can't be the first time you lot have seen a young woman with large breasts (wipes drool from chin) wearing a bikini. Oh actually, you haven't seen it yet have you.
Now where's the thread that shows you how to upload pictures? Life was so much simpler when you just walked into the Chemist and.....well, that's another thread entirely.
hello guys
ok ok.....
if there aren't the photos....
i have a little film for you !!

Any info re moorings on Lake Garda gratefully received.
It will depend on where you are staying most campsites round the lake have there own moorings which you hire and there are marinas dotted around.
We will be there in August
Think that's when we are there we are at Descenzano camping francesco
Not been with the rib before took the sib and hired a bigger boat it can be awkward tying up at some places but they do have designated moorings for visitors.
There aren't many places to fuel up on the lake one at Garda and sirmioni that I know of
Look out for our rib
