    Do you know where in the UK you can get Dri-dek tiles now? I've got some and they're very good, but I want some more, but being US made, don't seem to be available in the UK. Google only seems to bring up the imitations.

    You could use something like this (other brands are available): https://www.gasfm.co.uk/co-detector-tester-spray-3331-p.asp Of course it won't tell you at what concentration of CO the alarm triggers (assuming it does).

    Four, one for each leg.

    Or loosen the other (corroded) stud, turn the ring through 90 degrees and refit the headlight with a new (stainless steel) stud?

    Name Change

    We did the same earlier this year. You can also print off a new paper licence with your boat's new name to display on the boat.

    Not under the railway bridge, but under the footbridge on your left as you approach from Leys Junction. The mooring is then on your right, but hard to spot due to being overgrown. There are mooring rings hidden amongst the nettles. View of us moored there taken from footbridge:

    Moored overnight on the (rather overgrown) visitor moorings on the offside of the Stourbridge Extension canal just round from Brockmoor Junction on the Fens Branch at the beginning of June. Had a very quiet night. The visitor moorings are supposed to be secured by a BW keyed padlock, but the gate has been carefully 'modified' to prevent any padlock being fitted (& the padlock's broken). You could use a chain if you felt the need - we didn't.

    Ah! This was the bit I hadn't appreciated. Thanks for responding, and for a very useful posting.

    This may just me being thick, but on the basis there's no such thing as a stupid question: If the MSC guys dangle a rope down, and you attach your centre line to that with a sheet bend, I can't see how that enables you to keep control of your boat. Even if the line is tight enough to restrain your boat initially it'll go slack as the boat rises. Or am I missing something?

    Are we talking about a Dometic system here?
