Hi Bunny.

Is there a fuel boat due on the soar this month?

I think your best bet would be to give Mark on Callisto a ring, although to be honest I'm not sure if he does the Soar anymore.

 

Personally, unless it was very lucrative, I'd want to avoid going on any rivers that could go into flood. Too much risk of being stuck on one for weeks and not being able to earn.

when you have built up trust, some fuel boats will deliver when you are not there, text you the bill and you pay online. Not suitable for criminals. It only works if we all remain trustworthy. For those who are not on their boat - work, etc - this is so convenient and we have used this method many times. Fuel boats are often a bit cheaper than boatyards and i would rather give my money to them anyway.

Ive even had fuel boat wait for me as they know ill pay asay and have a good amount from them. There always happy to let me pay after. I dont know if they would wait for you if your only having 1-3 bags but when having 10-20 bags at a time or 100+ liters at a time it makes there stop more woryh while.

Yes there is, as far as Foxton from Norton junction but he will not be there for some time.

 

Expected tomorrow (Wednesday) week at Braunston so will be about 9/10 days before he arrives at Foxton, all being well and no delays.

 

Mark on Callisto. Phone or text on: zero,seven,seven,zero,two, 031718.

Hi all, does anyone have contact details for fuel boat Beverley and Ascot? Or know if they are around? Currently moored behind them by Stantonbury Park Farm/Milton Keynes and would be useful to get a gas cylinder. Thanks!

Do any of the fuel boats in the west midlands suppy and fit leisure batteries.  I am not physicaly able to handle 3 leisure batteries and a starter battery so it would be great to have them delivered along side and if at all possible fitted and old ones disposed off and it would be supporting business on the cut.
