Idle Days

We've been considering just such a conversion and have been trying to get quotes from joiners in the Crick area for more than 6 months without success until last week when we received a quote of £1750 sans cushions from a joiner at Long Buckby.

Good for you. Enjoy the experience.

As a twonk who chooses to use his bow thruster for its designed purpose of assisting with manoeuvring, particularly in tight spaces between other craft in a crowded marina (after all why have on fitted if it is not to be used?) I often tie-up with a depleted B.T. battery. The fact that on our craft, in common with many, the battery charger only serves the leisure batteries ensures a short life for the B.T. battery. Hence my comment that such a set-up is "just plain daft" and my advice to ensure that it gets probably charged and maintained. Modifications to the B.T. charging system on my craft are in hand to allow charging via a land-line or solar panels.

And don't forget to charge it, most bow thruster batteries only get charged while the engine is running, which is plain daft.

Crick Marina being readied for the boat show.

Any ideas regarding Sikaflex removal from a painted roof, apart from using their very expensive 208 remover?

That's who I use. I had to nominate items over a certain value such as computers.

He couldn't find the girly buttons?

We have a top loader that my wife tells me is very good.

No problem.😃 I deleted a comment as it duplicated something someone else had posted, but couldn't find a way to delete the whole post.

I am. 😄

Ouch! That brought the old crusties out in force. What was the point of spending £30 million on the restoration if not to make it navigable?

The most expensive fluid known to man and you dyed yourself with it?

And very expensive!

Real boater but them in a bag and tow it behind them for a hour. If you want to economise you can include you dirty undies in the same load.

Lazy Days aka Narrowboat Experience Vlogers are also selling and moving ashore.

Me neither, it's difficult!
