Hi, buy a spray called Spider Stop available online (ebay) and some Chandlers. It works. We use it on our boat.

We once asked on here if anyone had seen our old boat which we sold 3 years ago. No money owing, in fact the people we sold it to in 2013 sold it on 6 months later to some Americans We would love dearly to see the old boat again , just to see it as it is sorely missed. We have a touring caravan now and often go to a canalside site with the hope it would cruise by which would be very unlikely!!! We are again going to a site near Napton Junction in August, but it would be a miracle if it cruised by. No one on here will give you any information in case there is an ulterior motive. If any helpful person sees Dobie Jade maybe they could give the owner my email address (as in my profile). We only want to see the boat, the owners won't even know we have walked by.

Nice box, where did you get it?

Were you at Carnforth on the Lancs canal in July this year? A man showed us over his boat (Steelaway - bought from Bridge Marina). We were thinking about getting a boat and he spent time telling about it and showing us.

Can I ask what you got with this solar panel? Did you get wiring kit etc?

What batteries would you recommend for domestic use on a liveaboard. i.e. make/type/amps.

Just looked through Waterways World and Canal Boat mags and cannot see them. Doesn't seem to be a website either.

Hi, does anyone know where I can buy a roof box with lid/cover for a narrowboat? Can be in kit form? Thanks

Hi Mike, What size engine do you have? Very impressed with the videos.

What would be best engine make (40-45hp) for doing canals and rivers and the odd estuary i.e Thames to Medway?

Thank you Sue, not a bad idea. Hadn't thought of it. Will do.

Like the sound of your marina as we are not into people and prefer the quietness. Can I ask what marina it is and are there any vacancies

Not interested in a sailaway. Would like a ready to move on to liveaboard around March next year. 57ft semi or cruiser around the 50K-56K mark. Park Home is currently up for sale and hope to sell it before I retire in Feb. Anyone hears of anything maybe you could let me know. Already have a residential mooring reserved. Can't wait.

Hi Mandy How do you find staying at Barton Marina? Have been to have a look and it looks OK.

What pans/frypan are good to put on top of the solid fuel stove?
