I love the journey. We start off with a rough plan and then get happily side tracked. I love the friendliness of the boaters we meet and the ever changing back garden every evening. Finally I love the challenges that keep us on our toes and never bored. I have never felt so contented until we went a bit mad and bought a boat.

Thanks everyone for your advice. We called in and got the info we needed so hopefully will get sorted soon.

Hi all we are having stern gear problems and are in the Uxbridge area. We are thinking of using this boatyard and just want to know the general opinion of are they any good all opinions greatfully received as funds are tight Thanks

Thanks Ditchcrawler the PDF was really useful and thanks everyone else, I've got a few more ideas to,ponder

I want to run for he integral pump because the central heating and the engine have independent coils which feed into the chlorifier to supply domestic hot water, ergo whilst cruising I should be able to recover heat from the chlorifier to feed the radiators, I want to avoid fitting an external circulating pump on the radiator system. If I can independently run the integral water pump on the hydronic that would circulate water through the rads and that means I can achieve heat recovery from the chlorifier via the engine whilst cruising.

Is there a way to fit a switch to override a eberpacher hydronic integral water pump?

Thanks everyone useful food for thought, I think he may forgo the golf and take up birdwatching.

So for further clarification we are out for seven months heading up the grand union, up the oxford and then onto the stroppie and back to the grand union for winter. I am a knitter so I know where to meet up with my fellow knitters but hubby is hoping to have a few friendly games with canal boaters along the way. As an aside am nearly bursting with excitement at being off so soon

Hi we finally escape the land ratrace in March this year. But hubby will miss his golf.. So the question is , do we bring his clubs on board as there are enough golf players that he can casually connect with for games or is that not the case. I am not a golfer so don't understand his worries but am more than happy if golf can work for him
