step 1 check that the shore power hasnt tripped out or run out of credit. or that the plug for the charger has been turned off or unplugged. its obvious your batteries are now low, so the second step is get some charge into them, this may entail running the engine. step 3 offer libations / chocolate cake for anyone who will come round and assist in diagnosing the problem.

it certainly makes it easier not to break the name or shame tos on the forum (unless we can read the reg number)

thats because its CFC free (Chlorofluorocarbons)

I had a friend who was in the TA, in the transport division, he and all of his mates were all crack shots, this may have been down to the fact that the only training facilities in their local area were all firing ranges, so when they had a weekend excerise, to keep transport costs in time and money down it was always a trip to the ranges and spend 2 days shooting. we (the viking re-enactors) once were challenged at a local event to field a team of clay pigeon shooters by the young farmers, my mate (who wore glasses thick enough to make bottle bottoms) went out having never handled a shotgun before, then proceeded to get the best score, beating the young farmers by miles.

a knot also reduces the strength of the rope by about 50%

nope, I dont have paid membership, i do have to log in however

youtube itself has a download option on videos (its under the 3 dots if its not directly visible.)

Griff, I quite agree with that statement.

or all the water empties out of hickling broad

the ten foot draft wouldnt help a lot- the modern road bridge is only about a foot higher then the old bridge.

make lemonade, or I hear it goes well with a gin and ice

not to worry too much Andrew, that only gives a diameter around 17", so the doors should be wider than that, can you put on weight, easily if you choose the fine life and drinks and a good meal every day in the pub, conversely if you cook for yourself and eat salads you can lose weight too (basically, it all comes down to what you eat, and how it compares to what you normally eat when not on holiday.

so google informed me it was pancake day, whoops, did i have the ingredients, yes- well sort of, substitute bread flour for plain flour and I had them, so batter was mixed and set aside while tea was put on (honey and mustard sausages) what to have with the pancakes, well no lemon juice (i dont really like it anyway, so plain pancakes with a dash of maple syrup, (i have to be careful as a type 2 diabetic - just enough for flavour) and it was all set, while the sausages cooked i was also doing the pancakes and they came out looking just fine. the first couple will be savory (with a sausage rolled up in the middle) the rest will have maple syrup.

not saying a word about my waste (waist) dimensions, but its a lot smaller if measured in feet.

for the money you might just be better spending £140 on a cheap domestic fridge, and spending some of the saved money to add to your battery bank.

with replacing all the planks and extra weight, you might even make it under potter heigham in future

yes, the top part is white and the bottom part is black

well I suppose I could show a bigger picture of myself but I will save you all having to see my ugly mug even bigger than you have to.

how does it bode for boaters moored up there and construction noise?

what Bikertov said really, the forum software preshrinks the avatar pictures (puts them through a boil wash cycle) to make them a small size, so no amount of stretching will get them back to a bigger size for viewing. and yes some of us have to fit moderating in around boring stuff like work.

you can still get traditionally made hemp rope (though nowadays made from flax) https://www.master-ropemakers.co.uk/12mm-chatham-hemp-p-802.html not cheap by the metre, a bit cheaper if you buy a 220m coil.

just follow your nose to the bacon and you wont get lost crossing Oulton Broad JA

hemp (rope) is from the processed and crushed stems of the plant, processed in much the same fashion that flax is processed to produce linen, the stems are fibrous and its these fibres that are spun to form the rope, first the stems have to be retted ( a process to remove the parts not needed- the interconnecting tissue between the fibres) then they are crushed to leave just the fibres to be spun into linen (or rope).
