Is that the boat that got chucked out of the marina opposite?

Spooky or what, I took a photo of that in a pub in Penn on Monday.

I remember the Brays had a rubber mat on the roof about 3" thick on the roof of Roger.

Not forgetting the toe holes on the L & Liverpool gates, and the brick finger/ toe slots on the top copping bricks on the Ashton Canal [ you have to look very hard to find them these days. If I could remember how to post photos I would put them up.

Bring back the old days when there weren't any ladders, you had to jump down or have some reins on.

Whitby?

d Don't forget to fit a splash washer when you reassemble it all.

None at Bosley either.

I think you will find working boat gas bottles in / over the hold don't come into BSS regs.

Yes, I am sure all Springer water tanks of that style are galvanised.

Running nicely.

On the way down Bosely a couple of years ago I found a Go windlass, asked about a dozen boaters if they had lost one, four said they had lost one, so I left it with volunteer at top lock.

don't forget Chester - Ellesmere Port - Ship Canal - Pomona Lock onto Bridgewater then on to Wigan, cheaper than craneage.

Nothing better than a strawberry milkshake

Don"t forget to fit a splash washer, I am on dock at the moment and will take a picture, it will stop water coming up the rudder tube and washing your bearing. Most people don't grease their bearing enough if ever.
