Glad you had a relatively "painless" resolution to your stoppage, good for the local boys. I had a similar problem in my +8 back in 1981 in Nyon on the shore of Lake Leman. Turned out to be a splinter of wood caught in one of the valves in the mechanical fuel pump. Thankfully we were in a comfy campsite in the sun, so just a matter of pulling bits off until we found the problem.
Enjoy the trip and safe travels.
