No - that's why I noted the no. of people aboard. I'm on the side that boat life is not inherently lower impact than house dwelling; but there are important considerations that haven't been touched on in this thread, including embedded energy in creating the structures, and the environment in which they're placed....

I lost two panels to the wind a few years ago. The household waste dump at Ricky was happy for me to wheel them in on a sack trolley.

Thames Water are obviously already experimenting with organic corrosion inhibitors....

Specification quote 1-30 lit/min. Wifi already tested and working from middle of boat. Temperature max is 80degC.

Having added a flow meter to my inlet, I thought (if mistakingly, please say so!) that water point flows might be of interest here. So, Mile End, Regents Canal - 25 litres/min

Hmm, I'm running LO 6.4.7.2 - saved it as a .xlsx file, so see if this works... Limehouse-2024.xlsx

I've posted the spreadsheet (it's a Libreoffice one not Excel) in the Canalworld FB group as I can't see how to place it in the forums here...

As ever, CRT's left- and right- hands are entirely unconnected. Limehouse now needs booking through the licensing website - https://licensing.canalrivertrust.org.uk/PassageBooking - only open for tidal windows within 0800-1600 until Easter and then 0700-1900 (I think). Brentford needs to be booked separately if you're doing that passage through the same site. If you want, I've done myself a spreadsheet that shows the available passage timings for this rather than having to paw through their pathetic user interface....

I did a little work on this a couple of years ago My annual usage - continuous cruiser, full-time liveaboard (one plus partner about 50%). Electricity - 360 kwh (90% solar, rest by-product of engine whilst moving) Gas - 1,200 kwh (7ish 13kg propane bottles) Coal - 7,200 kwh (32ish bags of smokeless) Diesel - 3,600 kwh (360ish litres) Average UK house (from some govt website, can't remember which one) Electricty - 3,000 kwh Gas - 12,000 kwh So the boat's not too far off the house, especially for heating, presumably because of the crap insulation/stove inefficency/infinite heat sink underneath. But the diesel isn't directly comparable to anything really due to differing lifestyles and transport needs.... In the couple of years since I did that calculation, I've almost halved the gas usage by switching to lithium batteries and increasing my solar output/usage by 150kwh - which also shows how inefficient gas cookers are compared to induction hobs.

It's got the old single lock next to the new one as a weir. I'd think it would be fine (famous last words) otherwise at the Two Boats/Cuttle moorings...

Nimrod refers to the wide between bridges 108 (Nimrod) and 107, East of Napton Junction (CRT Ref is OX-043-003) Winding hole no2 refers to the one by the ex-Bridge Inn at bridge 109 (OX-046-001). Whatever they are, you'd be able to wind above Welsh Road anyway!

It's clear from the VAT notice (708/6), that the zero-rating is temporary, can only be applied by a company actually installing them (ie not by the end customer merely buying them for self-installation) and the only boats covered are houseboats and those on residential moorings paying council tax....

It will depend entirely on where you are. Are you in a marina or other mooring with neighbours? If so, ask around and see what works for them. If you are cruising around - what area(s) are you intending to cover? There will be places (in my immediate experience the Lower Heyford area is still and quiet on all bands and network providers) where no amount of kit will fulfil high-speed needs without radical out-of-box reimaginings. What speeds do you need to achieve, or is it merely a daily/weekly quantity of data that needs to be shifted? Is the phone video or merely audio?

Done like this so the actual input to the boat mains circuit (generally a 16A fixed male plug) can't be energised both by the inverter and a shoreline/generator.

Easily - there is no verification of the supplied data against the PAF or LPRN. I usually supply my planned cruising pattern without a problem. I did get rung up by CRT this year querying the lack of a postal address and they admitted that it wasn't necessary (their argument was they needed an address to send me things, I pointed out that they had an email address. They countered with sending physical items such as licence plates or keys - I replied that the transaction would be instigated by me and would be a one off for which I would supply a suitable delivery address. They gave up and admitted I didn't need one).... Similarly, with insurance, they use their own address as a place holder. It did take some time to convince them that their requirement for a 'home address' coupled with the fact that I was insuring the boat as a continuous cruiser was somewhat contradictory, but got through in the end (fortunately the droid on the other end did not think of changing the nature of the address they wanted, eg 'marketing address' instead).
