Paloma Bob serviced mine years ago. My last BSS the examiner said it was the cleanest burning Paloma he'd seen. In constant use..Great piece of kit 👌

Hey Siri! What is a strawman argument? A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. An everyday conversation: Alice: Taking a shower is beneficial. Bob: But hot water may damage your skin. Bob attacked a non-existing argument: "Taking a hot shower is beneficial." Because such an argument is false, Alice might start believing that she is wrong because what Bob said was clearly true. Her actual argument, however, was not disproved, because she did not say anything about the temperature. Thanks Siri!

I was sure I'd taken a couple but can't find them anywhere. I moored right next to it and walked about on its deck. Definitely floating; it bumped around slightly on its chains in the wind. The picture below was taken by Bob Hallam last year. I hope he doesn't mind sharing it here. The blue wheelhouse belongs to another boat behind.

Proposed new accessible electric narrowboat.

Cheers. I'll take the advice, and start another thread in a few days. In the meantime, thanks to everyone who has commented on my posts - most enjoyable. And best wishes to anybody bobbing up and down or stranded at the end of a flooded pontoon because of all the extra water.- 392 replies

Sorry but I am so tired and I cannot make my images spin correctly, been on the boat all day, very hard graft and that insulation is the pits, but we are moving on slowly, nearly half the boat stripped, all the wiring is ripped out and a few bits and bobs corrected, I am hoping by this time next weekend we will be ready for some paint on the inside.

Yes that may happen and the danger is the extra would probably just get spent on more & more non-essentials. At least it would be a better option than this surcharge idea which is going to be an administrative headache. It wouldn't, but it would fix a few paddles. Many stoppages are caused by minor issues. Letting the ground staff fix a few instead of bringing in contractors might get canals open a lot faster and save a few bob for the bigger jobs.

This worked a treat at Hampstead Road Lock, Camden one very hot day. OC Domestic (all 4ft 11 of her) marched up to the large crowd of mildly stoned or drunk bods draped over the balance beams and lock sides and engaged her Swiss German persona at considerable volume. She had them sorting the gates and helping her with the paddles most efficiently whilst I bobbed around in the lock. Never had such an easy passage.🙂

It never rains but it pours. Or something like that. The chaps are replacing the engine mounts. Disconnected the prop shaft. Found that there is wear on the shaft. Probably the reason for the prolonged stern gland issues that we have been suffering. To replace the shaft, out of the water of course, with associated bits and bobs is going to cost a couple or more pounds. Any ideas of costs. We are presently at Aquaduct, which by their own admission are not the cheapest in the land but this needs to be done. I am confident they will do a good job. i need helpful comments please. All the best Martyn

Painting bilges, minimum duration for Danboline to be allowed to get wet.
BEngo replied to Roy Steiner's topic in Build Blogs
Jotun, Hempel and Sherwin Williams are all good starting points. Damp tolerant doesn't mean " can be applied underwater" though🙂 Dont expect them to be cheap either. I dont know much about the chemistry of epoxies, but there are a range of them, si taking to a specialist is a good idea. @Dr Bob is quite well up on these things and has provided good advice in the past.

The suction hose is (obviously) rigid and about 2 metres long. This easily stores in the gas bottle locker, though it is a bigger than average locker. The outlet hose is "lay flat" so rolls up nicely and two of them plus the other bits and bobs fit in a plastic shopping bag. A bit of care is needed to get the outlet hose layed out nicely without any kinks otherwise the pump does not prime. I suspect its much much faster then the 12volt electric pump that is popular and much less chance of having a messy accident 😀.
