But. Don't be tempted to to fit domestic to a sailing boat especially if seagoing as they can't handle the heeling and pitching, often needing a down period of many hours in the calm of a marina before working again. I would also expect that marine fridges are manufactured from materials more suitable for a salty environment.

I was taught that "Air" as in what we breathe is 21% Oxygen 78% Nitrogen and 1% others. It is the Nitrogen that causes decompression sickness, as it comes out of solution in the blood if you come up too quickly. Some very small percentage changes can effect the body adversely, not only in what we breathe but also hydration, and certain minerals.

That style of boat is very popular on the waterways of Holland. Interboat and Corsiva build very similar.

If they researched how often the sewage treatment works between Coltishall and Wroxham discharged untreated and the one just down stream of How Hill they may not be so keen on this wild swimming lark.

We had one that was bought by my parents for our two. Exactly that colour. Mushroom and Navy. However we had a metal basket under, just above the axles for shopping. They are 47 & 44 now. It came from a huge pram, cot and highchair store in The Uxbridge Road, Ealing but I can't however I try remember their name.

She did.

Onedrive has spit out a "ON THIS DAY" from eight years ago. I remember watching these two through the kitchen window. Mrs Pheasant robbing the bird table and the Sparrow Hawk thinking " that would keep us going for a while" Quality is not too good as taken standing back in the kitchen through double glazing.

My intention when we moved to Norfolk fifteen years ago, a move driven by Judith not wishing go "off-shore" in our 50s, was to buy a traditional Broads cruiser. However having hired, river sailing was not really for me. I will say however that the skill of some Broads sailors is exceptional with regards to their tactics and reading of wind shifts etc. They could certainly show a clear transom to the "Inshore, round the cans" Sunday morning crews at clubs along the South Coast.

I went Laser, Merlin, Contender. We must compare scars sometime. Dinghy Sailing and rugby has made me what I am today.......Totally Crocked! Then Coastal and some Blue Water. Looking back, having swallowed the anchor. My late wife loved the ten years onThe Broads and various inland cruises. It never gave me that frisson of putting to sea. The exception being The Shannon Erne.

My guess is the reverse. The way on-land glaciers are melting adding to rising sea levels and the sinking of SE of the UK will add more saline and create a largely estuarine environment.

She looks like she has been converted to be primarily a "Houseboat" It will be quite a project to get her back to original.

I think you will find most of the superstructures on the huge super cruise ships are Aluminium strengthened with a latice of steel. Some of these ships are 15 decks high and 500ft from keel to topmost so keeping weight low down is paramount.

A 3D printed? There is one there already I think.

Starting with my walk on the beach before it gets too warm. .

My very best wishes for a speedy and successful outcome.

I have never owned one, but have only heard good things about Kia and their 7 year warranty. A couple in the village had an old style Sportage, probably the second shape imported and it had a new gearbox, gratis, right up to the wire on it's 7 years.

I sometimes use a disposable bbq but have a stand. I think it came from Force4. Here it is being used on teak garden furniture, such is a stands effectivemess. However. the danger with non gas is windblown embers. It only takes a spark and a sea breeze.

A Age, I mean Remenham Hill.

Probably Henley, I used to love Henley Brewery ales. Henley, to Marlow, both banks of the river was my old ground. Skinners nightclub on Medmenham Hill. Very nostalgic. Happy times long ago.

There is another pub in Wargrave but I can't remember it's name, I don't know the village that well except I sold a boat at the auctions they used to hold and an old friend kept hisboat at Val Wyatts, i crewed for him quite a bit. It was Alan who tpld me that George Harrison used to walk around the place.

The St George & Dragon or the Bull?

In the full version her solo is atually verse 3. In a similar vein to "All things bright and beautiful" where verse 3 is mostly omitted, the true verse 2 of "I am Australian" is.

I remember The Seekers singing "I am Australian" at the MCG. To hear Judith Durham's voice come in solo on the second verse is magical on what must be one of the most beautiful national pride songs (from a poem) ever written. She will be honoured with a Victoria State Funeral.

I think there is a "Banner Glitch" defo posted R.I.P. in Upper Case.
