Thank you for the responses thus far. May I add that I have a 1964 raw water cooled petrol yoghurt pot. FYI i am a northerner that lives in the south, however the local folk advise me to buy tube heaters etc ... I should add that I am a total noob at this hence why I am posting in the noob forum ty

Next year my boat will be in the river over winter. i plan to keep the engine heated in some manner. However, is temperature the only measurement needed to predict what's coming or should I be looking at dew point and river currents too? Thanks

My yoghurt pot has just been hibernated (I.e raised and winterised) and I feel the loss already. How does one fill the time ? It's my first season boating so went for the safe option this time. Hopefully I will have the knowledge to keep my plastic boat ship shape throughout the winter next year as it seems a total waste to hibernate for so long. I love the idea of frosty mornings cruising on the cut <3

Sadly no space on my small yoghurt pot

I am looking for a long term storage facility. Any ideas? I have less than 1 cubic meter of stuff and don't want to dump it on my family. I don't need easy access like most services are offering. I may check in once a month max. Over the last two years I have sold almost everything and am keeping only items I really don't wish to let go. Any help appreciated

Forums go south. Every forum I have been on does. Break away forums and over moderation are typical in such situations regardless of the topic e.g. Boating , gaming, music ... There is one fundamental factor that correlates with them all: https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/TNBlogsFS/BlogFileStorage/blogs_technet/doxley/WindowsLiveWriter/GreaterInternetDickwadTheory_D799/dickwad-theory_thumb.jpg

Bloody Overstayers

Thank you everyone for responding and for providing solutions. Note to self : grow a pair, switch to blue , empty toilet regularly and use Vicks and an air freshner. I already press the anti glug glug button and use the (rotating) evacuation pipe. Reading the instructions for the chemicals (aqua kem green ) it appears that they only work for 4 days counteracting the odour. TBH I had readied the toilet a week before it was used. The toilet was used over a 4 day period and only emptied a week later. My bad

In short I would empty a little in, gag, regain composure outside, flush loo and repeat ?

I used 'green'.

How does one avoid gagging? I was in a well ventilated and clean area but I still gagged. It took me 15 minutes to empty one cassette ? Next time I think I will wear a face mask ? or something. Any tips?

Top notch choice of music <3

After looking over my video archives i found the answer Nice work everyone.

Looks real nice and easy to modify to ones taste. Get a survey though on the hull and engine

Thank you

Hi Tim, If you are in the area Monday, or a little later in the week, I will be more than happy to take an aerial shot/video of your vessel if you like. Great Hope it was worth it

Summer for sure I will have my license by then - please keep in touch. Unfortunately (but understandably) London is a big fat drone free zone, unless you are an idiot and like picking up soap

That could be arranged, which town is your boat near?

haha Sweet, thank you for the ID, I am impressed. Thought the owner may appreciate it or at least know who to give sh*t to for invading his space

I took this shot late July in Caversham. I would like to get the picture to the owner. Any ideas? ps: NB moored up at Fry's Island is the well named R G Bargee
