You could have a look in Caen Hill Marina, then have a walk up the Caen Hill flight of locks, nice day out. -
when moored on the Thames at Runnymead we watched a Cormorant fishing, after 3 0r 4 dives he came up with an eel which was about 18 inches long, (45cm for younger readers), it took him a good 10mins to get the eel in the right position to swallow it, 2 seconds later the eel shot back out like a javelin, this happened 3 times before the Cormorant gave up, best half hours entertainment i have had in years.

we virtually gave up trying to watch tv, getting the aerial out of the locker, twisting it round and round, chucking it back in the locker, since buying the Necvox i can get a picture anywhere, a lot of the time with the aerial inside the boat, i can only speak as i find.

Get yourself a Necvox mag mount, you wont need a signal booster.

Have you checked the fuse or trip to your 12v sockets,

Looks like the thief is still about, genny removed from boat on the pyrford mooring line this morning, bolt croppers were used.

If it was all on one side of the boat, it could well be a Lister.

Plus, this time of year, the colder the water entering the boiler will effect the heat of the water exiting it.

You will probably find the washer has stayed in the boiler, and not come out with the brass screw, so when you put it back all will be fine.

You can get the adapter from Russell Newbery, tel 01327700023 or 07812039110 it comes with a 1/8" threaded hole in the top to take a pressure gauge but they will blank this off for you if required, they also supply the screw on filter, its not cheap at £67.50 but its a lot less messy at oil change times. Also it comes with all nuts bolts and gaskets for fitting.

I have just bought and fitted the oil filter adapter that takes the spin on oil filter, I filled up with morris golden film sae 30. probably my imagination but it sounded better than ever. I always keep mine topped up to the full mark on the dip stick.
