Sea Dog Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Couldn't you get someone to crane your boat into a nearby field? A mooring on the Ouse amounts to the same thing but you'll just get there a little earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nessa celery, some have multifuel stoves and a very clever bit of kit on top of the fire, it blows warm air from the fire everywhere. Keep your windows closed or you will cause global warming.

Newcomers usually join a forum to be included. To do so they usually say things like ....... Hi All ... I'm a newcomer with a problem ...... These are my needs if anyone can help please. Has anyone ever tried going into a doctor's surgery for the very first time and saying to him/her ......?
