john4647 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 the spread eagle hotel is very pretty, what's the beer like? The beer is excellent and indeed a prime reason for purchase of the boat. It just takes us 4hrs to get there but no need to drive home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlt Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I must say, as 'fat/narrow' boats go, yours is definitely one of the nicest. I think the paintwork is perfect for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why thank you Carl. It's not the most practical colour for the summer months but I'm vain so I deal with it!

Moley Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I would just like to add that our boat is now not quite as tatty as in the pics Allan has posted in "other members' boats", and the painting is almost finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStringPudding Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) At the top of Hatton Flight in the very early hours of the morning.

BlueStringPudding Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) Stringy, I know you haven't had your boat long. Are you living onboard now? How's it going? Hi - yes, been living aboard since June. And loving it! Just slowly doing it up (funds permitting) so it's basically one job per month gets done. Last month it was the engine inspection/service, this month it'll be getting someone to adjust the alternator spacing to stop the fan belts touching. It's starting to look nice inside too - still plenty of cosmetic work to be done, but we're getting there. It feels very warm and homely so we're very happy. (Incidentally, the reason the masking tape is there is because we were sealing the leaking windows a few months ago but had to keep pausing between rainy spells. We paused for so long that now the tape won't come off without leaving kacky bits everywhere. It'll take a long soaking and a lot of patience to persuade it off the window now!)

PaddingtonBear Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yes all well and good but your wash will still damage the bank. Just because an action is not banned by law it doesn't mean you have to do it, it is usually best in most circumstances to leave most things to the individuals skill and judgement (not in your case obviously) Great boat though.
