John I did wave to you, maybe you never saw it, I also gave you a blast of the hooter.

Nice to get a quick glimpse of you both,I thought you were Broads Rangers tucked in there with your radar gun. We did not go into the yacht station but done a complete circuit of the broad and back out again. The flag was on top of our AM/FM aerial, listening to radio Caroline. Hopefully will meet on the river again and have a chat.

Don't worry if you do Jan, after this winter there will still be plenty left for others.

Salhouse Broad 1973, there was only 2 tur** floating, and I was one of them. Memoooooory's la la la!!!

Jon, when you have glossed the bottom half of the Hampton will you start on the top half.

What about a cool box, dual purpose and much cheaper if you don't tell them it's going on a boat.

We have a ASADO, CHROME DISPOSABLE BBQ STAND. On e-bay £12.99. Keeps your disposable BBQ's off the ground. Put together in two minutes, then packs flat.

Thank you, Brian Wards. I see that Marine Teak are also offering forum members a discount, I am very tempted, have just got to convince the wife that the boat will be more economical with a nice Teak table.

Jon, have you also spent a couple of hours at night school? I read all your threads and this is the first one I have understood. Well done! Keep up the good work and interesting stories.

Could this be a good Fishing spot or is it too near to the salt water from Breydon?

With those big Pike swimming about and little toes dangling I don't think I'll chance it !!!!!!!

complete rebuild of a classic broad fwd drive woodie ....... Interesting, a forward drive Woodie, is this an early Bathtub? Have you a photo please.

Visited the Waveney Inn on Friday, must now be one of the poshest places on The Broads now. I expected prices to be high but was very surprised. Food, average prices and home cooked. Beer, pint of Wherry £3.40, selection of other bitters starting at £2.90. Must be one of the cheapest on Broads.

Sorry tried to upload photo but did not work.

Sueh, your prayers answered, Flymo do a Robot Mower.

Mojo, the calculation is 200 to 1. £200 fuel calculates £1 pounds worth of 2T. £100 fuel calculates to 50p worth.

I have been looking at Paladin's calculation chart. When filling up I put in £100 worth of fuel so I will need to put in 50p worth of 2T. Does anybody know how much the 2T costs so that I can work out how much to put in.

Sorry, I think I read it wrong, I was thinking you wanted another pipe to run alongside.

John, plenty on e-bay "Flexible rubber tubing" or what about "Hose Pipe".

"Murphy's Law"... if anything can go wrong.... itwill! Is this Ryan Air's mission statement?

When reading the "Low Sulphur Diesel" thread two Quotes stood out to me. Paladin wrote "in the extremely unlikely event" The three words extremely unlikely event made me think, how many times do we go out for a carefree cruise on our boat, be it private or hire and put ourselves closer to the extremely unlikely event. He also wrote "if circumstances allow". We allow the circumstances to cause the extremely unlikely event. Such as - A chance that we may fall in the water, not wearing a life jacket. Ropes not stored correctly, rope around prop. This can go on and on. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for all your feedbacks, my theory sounded too easy. Have now cancelled my visit to the patents office.

As a regular reader of "The Forum" I was reading this topic and felt a little bit concerned about the "running away" issue. It seemed by the discussion that it was very hard to stop the engine when in this mode. Then a spur of the moment thought came to me which I thought may be worth sharing with you all. If this "running away" is such a major issue could a fuel cut off tap be fitted just before the fuel pump or between the fuel pump and the injectors. How long would it take to burn the fuel in the pipe before the engine cutting out? Or would my idea not be feasible. Over to the mechanics.
