We are currently in Belfast Maine and have run into a problem getting our UK propane tanks refilled. Others must have encountered this problem before us and we would be grateful for any advice that may be out there.

Hi Alan,
We have wandered many places where we were faced with some kind of dilemma. Here on Alchemy we work quite hard to solve the problem in a reasonable fashion on our own. We are industrious and patient and willing to go down a few dead ends. But we do get to the point where we throw up our hands and just choose the “last resort” strategy: we throw money at the problem.
That, for better or worse, usually solves it. And more often than I would like to admit, we are sorry not to have thrown money at the problem earlier.
My best, Dick Stevenson, s/v Alchemy
