We've been on the Braunston pound for 13 years and agree with that. This year is the first year that we've experienced any water issues. @Simon (Hawksmoor) It's been a very, very dry summer. The pound usually copes fine with the amount of boat movements. I'm guessing that your question is related to your other post regarding the mooring of your shared boat and how other share owners voted for Great Heywood due to concerns over the water levels at Dunchurch.

Have you replied to the correct thread?

Might try the Antelope tonight then. We also noticed that the Ostrich steaks are a bit hit and miss whether they have any stock or not. At university back in the late '90s we would try to seek out exotic things to try which included crocodile, kangaroo, etc.

We picked up some Antelope burgers from Sainsbury’s the other day. Yet to try them though. Big fan of Ostrich steaks though.

Good thinking. Just shoved it into Google image search and it says: "The image shows a railway datum plate, also known as a marker plate. These plates are used by railway engineers to mark a specific location for reference. The "V.6" on the plate likely refers to the "Vertical" datum point number 6. The "14.9" probably indicates the distance in meters from a set reference point. These plates are used to ensure accurate measurements for track maintenance and other engineering tasks."

Looks more like the plates you get indicating the size and position of a hydrant/stop valve to me.

Thanks, had just figured out an adapter would be needed. Have just bought the Huawei B818 with a Poynting XPOL-2 antenna, a mag mount pole (for the time being) and the SMA adapters.

Great, thanks for all the help.

Thanks @GUMPY and @IanD I think any of those will be an improvement. The Huawei one might be the one to go for now as I can see the benefits of the GL-X3000 but it might be a little overkill at the moment. If I was living full time aboard then it looks perfect. Now to look at aerials... Ok, this sort of thing confuses the hell out of me. Was just looking at an aerial on Amazon and one of the images shows this: Do I need 2 of them? One with 2 leads or what? It does scream of cheap Chinese instructions. Surely it can't matter what one is plugged in?

I can see the connections now. Looks promising but am now trawling through the website trying to find a 12V connector and external aerial!

Yes, please don't! I was trying to reply asking questions and I keep loosing track! A valid question. Being in a marina makes me itch but this week is the only week we can realistically get away. So that works of 12V as it is? Does it accept an aerial that I can mount outside the boat? Same question really, does that accept an aerial I can mount outside the boat? Obviously it is 240V only. I do tend to turn the inverter off at night but then again I don't intend working when I'm asleep either!

Thanks. That's the kind of advice I need. Need something half decent I can sort out quickly which I can then 'tweak' in the future.

TL/DR: Need recommendations for a wifi router which will accept a Three sim card with external aerial for Teams meetings and large emails on the boat for less than £500 available on Amazon or somewhere which will deliver on Tuesday at the latest. Large and important work project means something better than a mifi device is needed. 12, 24 and 240V power available. Will this work https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/44228-tp-link-tl-mr6400-5g-xpol-1-v2-21-mnt/specifications/#content ? Longer version: For several years we've been managing with a Mifi device on the Three network to give access to the internet for our phones and laptop. It works most of the time by locating it near a window or attaching it to the window with a suction mount. When it doesn't get a signal, or a poor one, a phone on O2 normally gets enough signal for browsing. However we will be on the boat this week and I will need something a bit beefier as I will more than likely be working as I'm in the middle of a large project so will need decent speeds and bandwidth for sending emails with large (a few MB or so) attachments as well as Teams meetings. Normally I arrange time off around projects but this one has grown quickly. Basically I will need something robust and reliable. It is something I've thought of before and have had this link saved for a while https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/44228-tp-link-tl-mr6400-5g-xpol-1-v2-21-mnt/specifications/#content but that's about it. Would that do with the router running off the inverter or is there something newer/better which someone can recommend? Basically my requirements are: Good mobile router with wifi and option for external aerial External aerial for said router Ideally £500 or less Usable on the Three network. Can be purchased today/tomorrow and be delivered by Tuesday at the latest. Apologies for another topic on the subject but as highlighted but I don't have time to trawl through multiple topics with multiple opinions on different scenarios. Had I more time to get organised I would have.
