Used to work with a guy who always used to say... 'ok now to leave my message to the management' as he got up and walked off to the loo!

Reminds me of when TV companies used to send round Christmas videos to each other - not to be aired - all very rude. There was a rude Bullseye edition with Jim Bowen clad in leather (!!!) and the two contestants were Norfolk & Chance!

Next time they fire it up show up with an extension lead and ask if you can plug in also.... then get your immersion running!!

ah but you're wrong... I've been looking and mysteriously tomorrows forecast is ..... the same as what occurred yesterday...... this is amazing tech, so advanced, smoke that Elon!

The Victron kit on my boat now predicts the solar in the coming week! How the hell does it do that?

whats that? free space?

Excellent point... the means of access probably dictates the layout that works for you? We access our boat via the bow doors so its nice we go straight into the lounge, but if you access via the rear then that might not be so ideal for us...

Back to Front -> Bedroom, bathroom, Galley, Lounge. Known as 'Standard Layout'. We looked at lots of boats before deciding this was best for us. Chose this layout as the bedroom is at the back, so hidden and dark. The bathroom is to one side and not a walk through one, so we don't cut off part of the boat - it doesn't need to have the room anyway. The Galley is a U shaped one so people don't get in the way of the cook! The lounge fills up the rest of the boat and is bright and airy as the front doors have windows also. It originally had an L shaped dinette and built in sofa/bed but these were uncomfortable so took them both out and used the table as a breakfast bar near the kitchen with some bar stools and bought a proper sofa/bed - so much nicer! I wouldn't change any more as it works perfectly for us. The boat is a Semi-trad stern, so have room at the back for guests etc - i have a cover that goes over it so i can still work on the engine etc in the rain!

ah yes, the only person to enter parliament with honourable intentions!

We have induction at home at its great. These are mainly single hobs - wouldn't people want to have 4, but then the consumption is definately an issue.... are people using one hob purely from a power point of view and if so they can't be that viable on the average boat?

Got to admire the craftsmanship!

Interesting. After hearing all the uproar about continuous cruisers being charged extra i put in CC and non-CC and the difference was £65, which over 12 months i thought that was pretty good, and still waaaaaaay cheaper than a marina!!!!

You'd be amazed at how these projects can be funded. If they YouTube it, they will get lots of income plus people like making donations to these sort of causes, just look at Brupeg, took 10 years but its now in the water!
