I have yet to discover a sole that is suitable in ALL surface conditions, sadly.
Extreme care, and a pair of water wings might be the best option.
Hope your leg isn't too sore and mends speedily.
Look after yourself,

:-) I'm used to it now... but my mother always used to refer to me as "fire-engine blonde"....
That description is genius.
Forgive me but I will definitely be using it

I only received one email, the day before it ended, despite me having two boat licenses.
The email reminded me to vote but gave no clue about how to, IIRC!
They may have heard of your claxon antics !
By the way, I don't know what IIRC means

I disagree.
The low turnout was because very few boaters knew anything about the election. How were they supposed to find out?
I received many, many e mails inviting me to participate. I assumed the majority would have received similar invitations.
Sorry, didn't realise I was in the minority.

Can someone remind me what the turn out rate was at the last general election ?
I suspect the rate of participation in the C&RT elections had a lot more to do with apathy than lack of respect for the organisation.

typed same time as the above

I can't help but feel that the (thus far) mild weather has had a part to play in the 'take up' of winter moorings, plus the availability of marina winter moorings with all services at hand.
Either way, it's good to have options.

I am always astonished when anyone chooses to describe any individual responsible for murder, bombings, and similar atrocities, by reference to their religion, colour or nationality. Surely the only significant descriptions are terrorist or murderer.
Perhaps this is one (of the many) issues Trump has horribly wrong.

Junior, are you back underway yet ?
Like you, my natural inclination is not to be a 'C&RT' knocker, but two days before even assessing the job seems poor.
Hope you're under way and doing your essential work again very soon.

The joy of the boat I always find, is that you go places you would never, ever visit, and many of them are hidden gems.

" I was admiring a lady's dog on holiday this summer ......"
I wondered if that was a euphamism

Surely this is just over complicating things.
If you have a licence, you may navigate the system to your hearts content (within the rules for mooring).
If you have a fixed mooring you may remain stationary on the mooring for the period of that mooring.
Having a fixed mooring doesn't prohibit one from cruising.
For nine months every year I am a continuous cruiser, with no fixed paid for mooring.
For three months I take a mooring so I can leave the boat whilst I work.
Obviously there would be little point paying for a mooring if I was to continue to navigate the system, or a particular location, within the rules of my licence. A licence is required by everyone, but a mooring is required only by those who choose not to, or are unable to, navigate.
Am I missing something ?

So where is the material causing the blockage now? I'm imagining it is resting on top of the stove baffle plate and still partially blocking the passage of combustion products up the chimney.
The thing about solid fuel stoves peeps don't appreciate is they produce CO in vast quantities. Any gas appliance producing the concentration of CO that is normal for a solid fuel stove would be condemned instantly.
A CO level of say, 500ppm (parts per million) would be considered dangerously high for a gas appliance. Even 50ppm would be looked at twice. A Squirrel stove running well is producing so much CO that my professional gas analyser goes off the scale (at 3,000ppm) immediately and shuts itself down to protect the sensor when I stick the collector probe into the space over the coals.
Flue spillage from a coal stove is FAR more serious than from a gas appliance.
Why don't I know clever stuff like that.
Wish I was brainy.

Great article, EF. Interesting to note that those opening hours are still true now!
I'll just DO that on behalf of the forum. Mrs Loafer and I always give them a card anyway, so an extra one is no issue. we'll sign it on behalf of CWDF and post their reaction back here.
They'll probably just ignore it and leave it standing at the bar

Spambots........mmm. Rings a bell.
I seem to remember an early episode with William Hartnell in the lead...
Dr Who and the Spambots.
Or was it a cooking programme

Glad to be reading your report of what happened, rather than someone elses's
Thank you for the timely reminder and information. It can be too easy to slip into
a casual, relaxed attitude regarding these things.
Hope you have no further trouble.

And I thought I was wasting time sat browsing this.

Forgive my ignorance, but were the teddyman messages in some way computer generated, or did someone actually write and post them.

Been using one (Necvox) for several years. We cruise and have never failed to get a picture when required.
We have found that when no picture is readily available, moving the aerial, even as little as a yard, will make
a difference. In extremis (when my wife wishes to watch University Challenge and Only Connect) we have
learnt to stand the aerial on top of the watering can (it is magnetic) and occasionally also on top of the ash pan.
The extra height seems to work on the very rare occasions it proves necessary.
I do accept however, we watch very little tv.
I would highly recommend Necvox.

Indeed. Steak day at Wetherspoons is calling. With beer at those prices, the more I drink, the more I save.

New Licencing system rubbish

Did ours in November without any problem. The licences arrived within a couple of days. Unfortunately they look like the worst possible fakes. Black photo copies on poor quality paper.
