The only problem with throwing your mud weight overboard is that you may well then present your rear end to any obstruction or grounding. The stern gear is far more vulnerable to damage than the bows.
Mine fell off in Lowestoft harbour mny years ago. When I'd recovered it I hung it upside down for a few days and then off it went again! But the noise, oh Dear!
Do they make 12V slow cookers? Yes they do but they do draw a fairly hefty current. A 180W one needs 16A. Here's a similar idea which you can use anywhere if you can bring it to the boil first. http://mrdscookware.com
Thanks for those words, Keith. Do we really have to go over all this again, peeps? Back in 2013 this topic (Spirit of Breydon) was quite literally flogged to death. Let's please, perhaps in this case , keep off BA bashing.
So sorry, John but I've looked up SATA and SSD and can't work out how or whether they'll fit my PC.... Do you plug them into a USB port? Mine is an HP TouchSmart 310..... When I had it tuned up a couple of months ago the guy did say that he could easily double the RAM. At present it's got 2.8GHz AMD Athlon™ 1333 processor, 4GB and a 2.5" SATA 7200rpm with 8MB Cache hard drive. I like it and would be happy if I could just improve its speed.
Woodsafloat, hi and a warm welcome aboard the good ship NBN! Northern Broads, 0.99 is about right in Horning. Southern Broads £1.03 in Brundall. I think there aren't enough buyers on the Broads to justify a waterborne website as you suggest.
6ft 6ins if you're exactly lined up; that's the most important thing. Our Alpha 35 has a stated airdraft of 6ft 6ins but we've been under at 6ft 3ins when we had no other choice, not that I'd like to do it again!
