nb Innisfree

After a bulk charge with the main engine I used to follow up with an absorption charge once a week with a Kipor 2kva. On tickover with half a 3.7 litre tank of petrol it would run for approx 8hrs before running dry.

We're still getting calls for my FIL who died in 2010 aged 83, I wonder how long it will go on. They get his surname correct but not his Christian name.

A white narrowboat once moored next to our dark green one, when I put my hand on the roof of each the difference was remarkable, ours was too hot to keep contact for more than 2 or 3 seconds, by contrast the white one felt cool.

Cheap ones are usually continuous, i.e. no thermostat.

I assume a short ton is American, i.e. 2000lbs

Our shoreline used blink occasionally, ISTR it was 'overpressured'? Disconnecting it for an hour or so sorted it out

After numerous precise displacement calcs I arrived at approx 18.5 British long tons for 60' nb Innisfree fully fitted out and loaded inc full water and diesel tanks.

An overhead gantry a la F1 pitstop, sounds like an interesting project.

I looked at ready made silencers for Innisfree but none were the size I wanted so I went straight to the manufacturers (Servais) who made one to my dimensions (as big as poss) They made a lovely solid job of it and it was much cheaper.

Who in they right mind in the early days of motoring would have considered owning a car when you had to buy small amounts of fuel from a chemist? Foolish people?

Surely heavier cable can easily be pulled through the supply trunking + a lamp post isn't necessary for a charge point, dig holes between existing ones and install charge points above existing cable. Seems quite straightforward to me.

I don't deny it but I do question it
