Which Watford...

Is that google by the sea, or the port of google??

We travelled down the Thames last July from Oxford(school holiday time), and didnt struggle to moor anywhere. Stopped at East St in Oxford in the morning for shopping and buy the licence, then trundled down to Abingdon, moored on the Rye Farm Meadows. 2nd night, we wild.moored somewhere below Sonning Lock. Next evening was Dorney Lake visitor mooring near Boveney. Stopped at the Anglers , Walton for lunch....which became an overnight stay, as they do. Headed towards Teddington, then decided that we would overnight in Kingston instead, so turned round and moored on the Hampton Wick side.

Don't worry about your boat, it came down from there very easily....fits through all the locks and is good for the tidal stretch. Did it to RBS in 6 days. Dont be tempted to use the Chippy in Keadby, by far the worst I have ever experienced!!

This might give you a clue.... Why not write to Micheal Gove and ask him where he is at with it. Send some white stuff and he will be your eternal friend.

No, they didnt. Neither did they solve the hull blacking falling off as soon as launched, neither did they solve the ridiculous double isolator switch faults with very expensive relays that always blow... Yes, Aqualine were a step up from C, but still many problems, not always fixed on multiple snagging visits.

I will let you know what I installed later, it runs the largest capacity under counter Lieberhh there is.

As far as I am aware, that bridge wasn't the problem with the latest Junction works 2019-22, the problem.was with another earthworks and slip road being added with no through route.

If the survey doesnt mention the bowthruster tube, get your own survey done.

I am pretty sure Dominic Miles, the original owner of Rugby Boats, owned Florence at some point between 2005-11. He can probably be tracked down on the Hymer Campervan forum nowadays. It has been sold by Rugby Boats at least twice.

Not sure what a drop shipper is..., Bimbles a company that originally ran festival bars, and then ran a festival bar with solar, they still do Glastonbury with a solar powered bar and sound system. They started to sell panels, and then the rest of the caboodle around it. Their customer service and deliveries always deteriorated towards festival season, to the point that it was hardly worth buying in June, July and August. They are now much bigger, but customer service hasnt necessarily got bigger with it. Yes, you can buy good stuff, yes, you can get kits, but just check the specs of the kits will actually work together safely rather than relying on their say so.

Be careful with Bimble, they dont always update the stock position on the website, so you might order everything, and then be left with some key element missing(panels, controller etc), and re-stocking is quite hap-hazard. Take a screenshot if/when you order, so they cant say it was your fault.(yes, they do this)

It has always happened, I remember Lawrence Hoggs tale of the enforcement lady in Wolverhampton calling him about his boat which had been moored for over a month up the Shroppie somewhere. He advised her to look out of the office window above the basin where his boat had its home mooring and was still there...
