Tried, but they don’t do any services according to girl on phone today. Thanks, I have till it gets cold to sort it, but will ring them.

Sitting in the well deck, when there is a storm, is great, rain battering down, wind bashing you about, thunderstorms, lightening, all can be enjoyed in peace from the bow, fantastic, to be in the weather, but shielded from it. There are lots of other practicable, afore mentioned, but without my cratch and cratch cover, I would sell the boat, and buy one that had one. In just normal rain, you would go inside, instead of enjoying the view.

Thanks, I will.

Thanks, but they looked closed when I passed them a few weeks ago.

Hi does anyone have a recommendation regarding, someone to replace my Morso squirrel flu, it appears to be rusted out from where it attaches over the collar just above the stove. I would like it professionally refitted before October, am currently in Macclesfield about to cruise the caldron and four counties. Thanks.

Are you a male prostitute.? I think your on the wrong forum. although from your syntax , you must be 70 living in Wales for too long., baaaaking. Innit

It will be past history soon and the problem would of passed by.

I had great time there and would love to stay longer, but the weekend was spoilt by a 60 ft plus wide beam having two different karaoke parties over the weekend. No warning given , and you are not allowed to move to another mooring. Day two, different party

Mooring by the bootle arms is the nicest mooring after you have passed through Maghull, it’s out in the country before you get to another built up area, and only half an hour to the timed opening bridge. Go through maghull at quieter times is best as well ,as there can be a lot of traffic at a couple of bridges, but it’s not essential to.

Moor before the swing bridge ,close to the bootle arms on the way in. You can follow the track through the farm if you want to go the pub. Then set off about quarter to nine in the morning of the day of your trip, so you can open the bridge at half nine on Wango lane. Stop for services at Litherland, if needed for pump out or Elsan ,as they are expensive at Liverpool marina. That should get you to top of locks about one fifteen. You will then arrive in salthouse dock about half two. Unless you have a cruiser stern ,you will want to reverse into the mooring ,otherwise you are facing a large wall. Make sure you know where your mooring is, as it’s hard to see the numbers on the end of the jetties. We are there now and it’s a fantastic trip, have your camera ready as you sail past the liver buildings etc, and there were lots ofvlockies there at first lock to help and advise if you want them.They may ring you on the day to find out when you will be arriving ,so have phone handy. Look at the map to see where you go coming out of last lock at Mann island. Wish we could stay longer.

Windlass, antivandal key, BW key. Appropriate lines, two centre , bow and stern. Mooring pins, chains and mooring hooks.Hose to fill your tank with water.plus attachments. Gas locker spanner. Access canal and river trust alerts to stoppages.

Or a mobile phone.

Check you have not put a fender over the exhaust, if so it will start up then shutdown.

Apparently the lift broke yesterday afternoon, possibly the seals. So gonna be assessed this morning.Might mean bringing planned works forward. Or all might be ok later. Check first if heading that way.

Saltaire we moored just past the day time only moorings, you can’t get close into the side, but fine mooring, and went to boathouse pub on river Aire. Also options in town, nice interesting walk. It’s a great trip.

We moored above the five rise overnight, lots of mooring space and went for a drink at the royal pub five to ten minutes walk, after the the three rise, is the fisherman pub, good food and lots of moorings, recommended stop at both. But particularly the fisherman.

Hob black, cheers I will look that up.

We have stopped using the stove now for a couple of weeks and noticed the stove is starting to take on a rusty hue. How would I go about removing that, and what do you do with yours in the summer months.. I have bought a cap for the chimney top, is it best to leave the door closed or slightly ajar. My chimney seems to have rusted through just above the stove, so I am going to get it replaced and maybe the collar at the top which let water through in heavy rain in winter till I applied some plastic sealant which has worked. Any suggestions on ongoing maintenance gratefully received. Should read Morso squirrel maintenance

Thanks for the couple of helpful recommendations/ answers. Greenies given. Beware the 12th April, to any others on this forum who move their boat.

Wasn’t this the same as what happened to the foxton pub, .? once it was successful CRT took back the lease, and why the then leasee made that little bar opposite.

Just a cheapo to do the job, suppose a car one will do job, just wondered if anyone else had done this.
