  1. Can't remember exactly, I know we were in a rush and belting along from early morning until nightfall, totally knackered at the end. Mrs will dig out her diary tomorrow.
  2. It is an approximation, as accurate as can reasonably be achieved. When we did a long run (Skipton to Devizes in 3/4 days) we used 60/40 It doesn't 'know' anything, it just runs when g'box is engaged, I remember now, I fitted it to the Morse lever.
  3. Clue: when g'box is turning boat is cruising. Work out ratio of g'box/engine running hours and apply to amount of diesel purchased, ie 20 hrs g'box ÷ 100 hrs engine = 0.2 = 20% = 20/100 split (20% cruising) Simple. To be honest I can't remember how I installed it, long time ago though it was quite straightforward.
  4. FWIW when self declaration was introduced, to avoid any confusion we decided to be honest, so I installed an hour meter on Innisfree's gearbox, as full time ccers we used to average approx 20% propulsion, if any supplier refused our declaration we would cast off and p**s off, though that was rare some expressed doubts, it seemed to me they didn't understand HMRC's wording and were worried, I seem to recall that they might have thought they had a "duty of care" to ensure boaters didn't unintentionally declare the wrong split. Confusing then as it is now.

  6. I've made my own fridge with 6" thick PU foam, a bit small internally, enough room for one pack of butter in fact, but it's very efficient...

  21. A cat visits us and raids our cats nosh, so one night I decided to scare her by blocking her exit, I nipped through the patio door and held my foot firmly against the caflap, when she realised she charged headfirst through the flap knocking my foot away and causing me to lose my balance, jeez! respect! She still carried on visiting totally unfazed so I gave uo, in fact she approached unbidden and made friends a short while later. Amazing.
