I suppose its a bit of a worry, but when I did a bit of research about it, all I could find out was that you have to practically snort the carcass or a rotting bird..... Although we are boaters, we don't really 'work' with birds, so as long as we wash our hands after stroking them I am not sure of the risk...

For all my gas fittings I went to a local standard plumbers shop. Mine are all 10mm and they are extremely helpful. I went on recommendation from a chandlery who said they would have everything I needed, and would be cheaper!!!!!

Also see http://www.motoren.ath.cx/ - very good for making sense of alternators and charging circuits. (look at links on left hand side) I have just trauled through this book and its absolutely fabulous!!! I have used Charlie Wing in the past (can't remember the title), but this is super!!! I know nothing about electrics, but now feel inspired to learn some more and get to work on mine! (gosh! That sounds dangerous!)

oh yes, the moorings at Thrupp are 48hrs outside the jolly boatman (free), and the same further up outside the 'boat inn'. I'm not aware you have to pay unless you stay over the time specified, and they do have wardens on site.

You can get to Windsor in a day from Oxford?!?!?!?! It took me a week to get to Surrey, and an hour to drive back. Although we were slower because of 1. injured crew on day 2, 2. scorching sunshine! If I was heading north I would go up to Thrupp on day 1 and Enslow to the rock of Gibralter for day 2. Then I would turn around and go home for day 3. It would be tight cruising though.. I think....
