[Car Breakdown]

Hi John

We use Auto Aid  (Equity insurance) £41 per year

If you need them you pay for the breakdown and then claim it back

seems to have good reviews and reputation on auto express etc.

[French rivers and canals.]

This is defiantly on our things to do list.

An old customer used to rave about it so this subject has reminded me to get it done.

Any recommendations most welcome.

Hi Griff do you mean 17th May.

We saw the Yellow Sea king come over low at Horning on Sunday and thought someone must be in trouble.

Not a good outcome at all.

Hi Dave that's a fair run to Burgundy.

It sounds very nice though.

Have you any photos ?

[Ludham Bridge Boatyard.....]

Hi Jason really sorry to hear that news it must have been a very hard decision.

I was looking forward to bringing the new boat to you (which I still will do) once the survey etc is done for you to give your usual expert advise and friendly banter.

I will miss the confidence that if anything goes wrong I have a reliable and trustworthy person / yard to rely on. But other things are more important and I wish you all the best and look forward to calling in a few weeks.

Regards John B

[boat gone up in flames at sutton]

Thanks Clive

Sorry to hear about peter.

I don't know how they managed so long on that boat especially in the depths of winter.

John

[boat gone up in flames at sutton]

That was the boat the old couple lived on for years.

We were moored 6 boats down for a couple of years.

It needed a hell of a lot of work doing to.

What happened to the old couple?

John

[boat gone up in flames at sutton]

Good to hear no one was hurt

Hope their insurance is up to date.

John

[boat gone up in flames at sutton]

[Inboard engines: which are the good, the bad and the ugly?]

Hi David we have just sold our Falcon Capriole 27 with a Volvo MD 22. (only 1200 hrs on the clock)

 

Although we were a bit sceptical at first it turned out to be a great engine.

 

5 years approx 500 hours it never missed a beat and so economical.

 

I cant even remember having to top up water/ oil between services (done by LBBY every year).

 

It may be not quite as refined as the more modern engines but if its been looked after it wont let you down.

 

Good luck with your boat hunting

 

John
