    When working from the boat I can easily use 100Gb in a week especially if it includes patch Tuesday and I have to update a few Windows laptops.

    I find sleeping in the motor on the cross bed is ok on my own but I have to sleep diagonally across it as unable to lie out straight across the boat.

    I've always assumed there is an air cooled engine under the boards so vents are for providing suitable air flow.

    I usually find any volunteer assistant causes delays.

    We didn't go this year but from what I have seen online it looked like there were times when a boat appeared to be the only one moving. It needed improving from last year where we sat near the turn for at least 30 mins waiting to move but I think spectators want to see a line of boats moving and as a steerer it is fun to have to do a bit of holding and manoeuvring for other boats.

    The Saturn fly boat web site states that the fly boats could get up to 10 mph by rising there own bow wave. They were worked continuously without stopping overnight.

    Yes, it goes very well. Winding it on along the Birmingham main line goes well.

    3 cylinder Lister, I can't recall what it came from.

    On our recent trip I've found the NR5103E has not been as good as my B818 was at similar locations. The B818 I never bothered with an external antenna but the NR5103E seems to mostly require using external antenna to get any sort of usable signal.

    Last year the parade had a massive hold up for some reason which meant we all just sat waiting, drifting around. The boat behind us even refueled whilst they were waiting alongside one of the fuel boats.

    We were going to go up to Wrenbury to kill a couple of spare days, fortunately chose to go to Chester instead.

    Have you asked CRT as that might be easiest rather than going on Internet speculation.

    I had to keep moving out of the way of working boats. We timed our trip to Lymm badly as didn't realise the transport festival was this weekend. I followed a massive wide beam from Lymm but fortunately he eventually left me past after he had hit the bank a few times. I think he may have then moored up.

    I much prefer using the Old Line, far more interesting and regular blasts of reverse, neutral through bridges and not trying to go too fast works for me.

    We almost had a swan hatch this afternoon but after poking it's beak through our side doors it realised it was mistaken and it swam off.

    If they had side doors or centre doors then that wouldn't have happened.

    We've come up the T&M from Great Haywood to Preston Brook over the last five days and the only low pound we have had was at Stone.

    Probably within 2.54cm of it's life.

    A friend of mine rolled his Reliant going down hill round a sharp corner too fast.

    Gates not doors...!

    Wasn't bad at end of May when I went through there. @5239 may have been through more recently.
