haggis Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 We are out on Kelpie and are moored behind Mac of Cygnets boat but unfortunately he is in Scotland at the moment so we won't meet :-(. I gather that another forum members boat was also in this area recently but it has gone Do we get brownie points for having "almost" banters?

I reckon it depends on whether or not he is the sole owner or he owns it jointly with Mrs Athy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really wanting to go off topic, but on hot days the roof of the boat gets really hot, if you put your ecofan, (other brands are available) on the roof pointing sternwards, would you save Diesel?

Of course you would but the speed limit prevents you doing it and it would be very difficult to slow down. Can we get back on topic please? .....err..what was the topic?
