Please see the Post Stolen Boat In General with regards to the sunken boat

My Partner has just spoken to both crt and to Richard at Redhill Marina and she has been informed the boat is located directly under the two A453 road bridges Police divers are on the scene as i write this, Crt has said they would advise at this time not to navigate through, However Redhill marina has said that it is passable and there is talk of trying to move it within the next few days, so after xmas, We are going to find out more tomorrow as we had hoped to travel that way on xmas day

Sounds nasty, Ill be stripping, sweeping, and struggling to get it back together again at the weekend

Yes it is wise, i do have a baffle plate which gets taken out although getting it back in sometimes proves to be a task, As rule im burning Smokeless, but also add wood dry oak pieces

Now i no this might sound like a daft question to most of you out there, But how often as a rule do you Sweep and Clean your Multi Fuel Stoves? . The reason i ask is i cleaned mine out and swept the chimney at the end of last winter, ive now used the stove for the past two weeks and last night i struggled to keep it lit suggesting to me that i may need to sweep the Flu and Chimney again, I have to say ive also still only got a short traveling chimney on although i do have a longer one (Chimney that is) .

Well the power of the internet , Thank you all for your help concerning my original post, Im pleased to say that hopefully a happy result has come out of it for all parties included. Thanks everyone

I have to say that i bought my boat last june from NBS when they was based at Castle Marina Nottingham, But all my dealings was with James Shakespear and i have to say i found dealing with him to be totally professional at all times and was highly delighted at the level of service i recieved from him and his team right up until i had some sort of idea of what i was doing being a newbie to boat life. So much so that i recomended others to NBS It wasnt until NBS moved to Meadow Lane that i actually met Findlay Shakespear ,

No im determoned to not light the stove until at least the middle of October that said i have put the winter high tog duvet on the bed already lol

In Reply to PaulC , The owner now lives abroad so as for internet access im not sure hence why my original post on his behalf.

As said its got a current |BSS till 2016 I for one cant see the difference in a BSS for an owner or one for someone whose Renting. As said just helping someone out in his hour of need .

This is the problem with todays modern life to many bloody hoops to jump through to many rules and regulations, Dont shoot the messenger guys im just trying to help someone out in his time of need. If the BSS is good enogh for the owner to live on personally i cant see the difference

The boat does have a current bss till june 2016 as for anything else i cannot be sure apart from the marina yes they do no, Ideally our friend wants to sell the boat but is just keeping his options open as the winter months approach

Ok People of the water, Ive been asked by a friend of mine whose boat is moored in a Marina Close to Loughborough to see if anyone would be interested in Renting/buying his boat on a long term rent , His boat is a 2005 57` Narrow boat reverse layout with 1 fitted double bed, would suit either a single person or a couple, The rent is to include Mooring fee`s Insurance and License, Hes asking £500 PCM payable 6 months a time upfront.If you want to view the boat shes on ABNB Ref No 2610 If anyone is interested Inbox me with your number and ill forward it on to him

Do what i do get a cleaner to clean the boat every two weeks and ask her to change the duvet cover and bed , Simples

Coming upto my first 12 months on board here too and feel exactly the same love it totaly the way of life, the people, etc etc Wouldnt entertain going back to bricks and mortar now.
