yesterday at the Swan Fradley 08.08.20 a bloody hot day! 32 degrees in the shade!

yes Barton. Only going by what they told me on the phone today. Might have a drive up there tomorrow to check it out.

The one in the photo is my old K2 Busa which I have since sold. I know have a K9 Busa as well as a ZZR1400, a 650 Bandit, a T140V Bonneville. No shortage of bikes to ride. P.S the K9 will be going up for sale this year if you are interested?

I know. You are quite correct. I might swim into the marina via the canal and "steal" my boat ?

Ii light of the latest email from CRT I told her indoors that we can take the boat out this weekend for a short chug to Wychnor lock and back. A bit of lunch then come home as long as we don't stay on it overnight.. Happy days! But Not Happy days.. phoned the Marina and they remain CLOSED until further notice. Probably June they said So despite what CRT says I cant get my boat out of the marina and onto the canal as its a private business Sad.. isn't the word

no we don't live on it...

Hi Folks.. here's my Tonic .. AQUATONIC = Viking 32 foot river cruiser

boat owner pontoon 61 lived on the boat. he is a nice guy and has lost his home..

me too.. but no copy found will call CRT in morning . not a good weekend really

Hi Ditch. wish my company had.. What I cant understand is why CRT gave me a licence with no insurance in place for years? will call them tomorrow

yep. the Fire Brigade sank the boats with all the water from their hoses

Hi fellow boaters. I am the owner of the boat with the blue awning (Dinard). I was not over France but actually riding my motorbike at the time of the fire and only found out about the incident when the police phoned me to check that I was still alive and not on the boat. Its been a real horrible weekend for me and missis. We have lost the Dinard through no fault of our own. The boat was our pride, joy and sanctuary weekend retreat. We feel bereaved . Below is a transcript of a statement I am preparing because .. guess what. I have discovered that my insurance had not auto renewed and had lapsed.. a bummer At 12.50pm on Friday 21st October a fire broke out on “Corialis” a GRP boat moored in berth 64 on pier 2 at Barton Marina My boat “Dinard” was moored adjacent to “Corialis” in berth 63. The fire spread to my boat and across to two other boats moored in berths 62 & 61. The fire brigade was called but unfortunately all 4 boats were destroyed by fire and sunk. The owner of “Corialis” had left his boat unattended while using the marinas shower facility when the fire started. I was not at the marina at the time and only became aware of the incident after a phone call from the police. I purchased “Dinard” in August 2009 at a cost of £6,750. Since then I have spent approximately £3,500 upgrading the vessel. Dinard was a 26’ long GRP cabin cruiser built by Burland in 1980. The fire was covered by a local online paper and I include photos downloaded showing the sequence of events. A video can be seen below link. http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/fierce-blaze-at-barton-marina-sinks-one-boat-and-severely-damages-others/story-29829584-detail/story.html Unfortunately I have discovered that my boat was not insured. For some reason the original insurance policy direct debit did not auto repeat. Apparently the salvage & removal costs of all boats are taken from the separate boat owners insurers. I will now have to pay a quarter of this myself which will not be cheap. I need to make a private claim for the total loss of my boat as well as the additional salvage cost against the boat owner’s insurance policy.

hi. a bit late. but I changed the CDI on my BF15 outboard only to discover that the problem was a sticky fuel pump! quick clean and OK..
