Just as an interesting thought, you don't need to book the Ribble Link to go to Preston Marina. The Ribble Link booking is technically to go up Savick Brook, not to drop Tarleton Lock and go down the Douglas and up the Ribble ...

You have missed the Stephen Frys ...

Wow! That's fairly high on my list of things thou shalt not do in a lock, coming immediately after cilling the boat. If nothing else you can't run water through as fast with a boat in the way!

There's an Aldi at Tunstall not far north of Westport Lake or just a bit south of Harecastle too.

Agreed, but this is roof paint and specifically says not for water tank use.
-
True, but there's a bus from Wheelock Wharf, or it's about a mile and a half on foot.

That's what Tony had on his land cruiser, so I suspect he has the same on the ram. Tachograph fitted too of course.

Does it have to be sprayed? Most boats are not sprayed, but roller and brush painted.

From the safety data sheet: Main hazards: Flammable. Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Does not sound ideal for the job to me!

Did the historic convoy get off the Rochdale before the next lock failure at Lock 66, or are some of them still stuck there? https://waterwaynews.blogspot.com/2019/06/gate-failure-could-close-rochdale-canal.htm

Newly restored 19th-century German ship sinks after collision

Have you never been on the Solent Mike? F'ing chaos on a warm bank holiday! -

That does sound like a badly planned manoeuvre to me, certainly when close to a container ship in a restricted channel. Why even try to tack at that point? -

Anyway, enough of this geographical nonsense. Pumpout or cassette? (Or have you got the best type? ) Cruiser, Trad or Semi? Red, Green or Blue? We already know you have a stove, your slippers and some whisky so your priorities are obviously correct. I don't think we need pictures of goolies on this thread ...

Hell, they didn't make you walk from Largs to the boat did they?!

A lesson that was learned quite spectacularly in the Solent ... by a serving RN officer! https://www.pbo.co.uk/news/100000-fine-for-tanker-crash-yachtsman-1829 -
There is a school of that name in Canvey Island ...Have you bought a proper boat, not a sewer tube?

Ah. You are CC-ing in that London - it's the most clogged up bit of canal I can think of! No Wait! You are north of Watford Gap. I am going for the Leeds Liverpool - "Clogs & Gansey" would appeal to you because a gansey is the Lancashire equivalent of an Arran sweater, and the clogs just confuse people ... but are very traditional mill attire, so the boatmen wore them too.

I thought that was Peter

Either that or playing chicken with a container ship in a restricted channel quite literally "took the wind out of their sails!"
