That gives you much more breathing space to rectify any problems you might find. Trying to do the same thing while working full time and living aboard in winter - out before sunrise, back after sunset - is much harder!

Didn't that come to a fairly abrupt and unpleasant halt though?

He's right though, there's not much tropical rainforest in Norfolk...

If all else fails, leave it energised for the required number of hours so it counts up naturally. You could just choose to ignore previous hours because as long as it's counting up so you know when the next service is due the total hours figure is probably not that useful.

Not quite. You can do what you like with it, but you don't get any tax subsidy... Let the planet burn for 20p per litre!

Once you realise or understand that surveys these days are meant to *shape* popular opinion rather than *measure* it, you'll stop believing them. Cynical, yes. Accurate, also yes.

Yes. We've managed to burn a few billion years worth of stored sunshine (coal and oil) in the last hundred years or so.

Good job he's not on CRT waters then ...

And as we repeatedly get told, someone else in authority is then going to say "Great. Give us our £50 million back then."

Ah, but does it suit you? 🤣

I'm Telemachus and so's my wife! Oh sorry, mixin-me-quotsies ...

As hobbies go it's better than some but worse than others.

Get @LadyG to tow you there - it's probably her turn 😁

Technically yes, practically no. Who will actually check unless/until it's up for sale? The same argument can be made for the BSS, which technically should always be complied with, but if that was really the case people would never ever fail one ...

Get over yourself. Soon. Ian isn't "taking over every electric boat thread", he's contributing to them from a position of recent first hand experience. Having spent a great deal of time and money to get what he wanted from his boat he is obviously best qualified to comment on his decisions. I'm fairly sure he's also getting sick and tired of having to keep typing disclaimers like "... which suits me so I did it this way, it wouldn't suit everyone ..." He's also commented that some of his ideas were deemed either foolish or impractical by the boatbuilder, so didn't make the finished boat. That tends to suggest that the ones that did make the cut were not deemed foolish or impractical by one of the best regarded boatbuilders still in business.

@Alan de Enfield once pointed out that PlusGas is 99.9% kerosene / paraffin according to it's data sheet.

I don't have much of an opinion either way on the BBC. Nor do I have a TV licence. About ten years ago we realised that despite having a licence the only live broadcasts (on any channels at all) we'd actually watched in the previous two years were Eurovision and Last Night of the Proms, and we could live without either!
