Post Number 6, if it's really that important to you. Btw, I didn't claim that the word 'idiot' had been used, but that's the level of contempt that I detect in the OP for we unbelievers
-
And the Remain argument is full of certainties, is it? Bless!
-
You don't help your argument by portraying those of us planning to vote for exit as uninformed, ignorant - your word - idiots. I've been a boater for twenty-odd years, but there is more at stake here than our lifestyle .
-
Move a coupe of miles?
-
How do they work? Is it just a question of dropping one in whilst the stove is lit? The packet is all in German!
-
Very helpful - thank you Dave
-
They were the first people I asked! Waiting for a reply to my recorded message.
-
Does anyone know what the length of S2 pontoon is please - not sure if my 62 footer will fit comfortably - thanks

The key, surely, is the weather. Our Bristol Channel pilot made us wait until the forecast was for Force 3 or less. Would the English Channel be any worse in the right weather conditions?
-
Balderdash! Many of us have made the trip up the Bristol Channel from Portishead to Sharpness. When we did the run (with a pilot I hasten to add) it felt very much like being at sea!

What on earth is wrong with walkie-talkies? We're both getting on a bit, and on a lock flight and out of sight of my wife, who is steering the boat, they are invaluable. Those who sneer at them are probably the same people who hanker after a traditional narrowboat, but think nothing of using on-board wifi, telly, washing machine - all things that the old boaters would grab with both hands, had they been available in their day.
-
All good advice, I'm sure, but is it really couched in terms that a novice can understand? 'Under ebb' 'Hull HW' 'Lock tail' 'Bottom of Neaps'? I've done this run a few times in both directions, so I know what you mean by these things, but this guy is clearly a beginner
-
Not to mention Stratford upon Avon, where Japanese tourists think your boat is fair game.

There are a couple on the Chirk Aqueduct
-
What is the current limit of navigation on the Monty please?
-
All the way up to Llangollen - so far. Loads of felling going on, with short logs conveniently stacked for the taking
-
Our 3kw Sterling inverter is too noisy to run at night. However, I believe that our 12v Shoreline fridge-freezer is rated at around 25 amp hours per day - more when the weather is stinking hot, obviously
-
It's called a dunny, dummy!
-
I dropped one once in one of the Bosley locks. You know the O2 advert where the bubbles are rising up ................................
-
Red face here! Sorry, I've never looked at For Sale and Wanted, and never knew it existed. Thanks for moving my post to where it belonged.
-
I am offering, free of charge, a number of pairs of very good quality lined curtains. Why has my posting been removed from these forums?
-
We always moor on the loop near the Sea Life - always quiet and there are a couple of security cameras handy
-
Fit one of these and never look back! Gives you the amps/volts output of each alternator, plus a running count of amp/hours expended
-
I'm more irritated by the incorrect use of 'you're' 'You're' is a contraction of 'you' and 'are', as in you're welcome, or you're one of the best 'Your' indicates possession, as in your wife or YOUR ENGINE!
