“Knob lifting”. Yep there the ones MM needs

Yep, but the holes in the boat don’t help

Did you eat it?

He does call it a national nature reserve. Not a Park!!! they also say it’s man made. So surely ours to screw up? it all ready has the largest natural reed beds. The new one is a pimple on the surface of the rest. The only downer I took was that pleasure boats kill the plants!!! Really? the most pathetic dredger ever! I don’t go to hickling, but my local lakes are swarming with migratory birds in the winter. Far more than the summer. So more likely to cause issue with them in the winter. The fish seem to like a churned up bottom. Ok maybe not if it does cause an algae growth, but that can be managed as it happens. My take on it, but being local maybe I know more than the production team. After all. It is entertainment.

I’d rather the odd Diesel engine. A boat that smells of stale smoke is there 24x7. I have insisted on moving hotel rooms before that smelt of stale smoke. I hate the smell, irrespective of the health effects. Each to their own though.

I bet it makes the Suffolk Gazette some time soon. it is a bizarre way to make your point.

Even my wife knows what spring is. It’s when the bulbs come out!!!!

That’s a bargain for anyone needing these. Shame I already have more than I already need or would have had them off you like a shot.

I think you have contradicted yourself Robin.

At sea obviously they come in. On the rivers they stay out. As others have previously said the attraction to other boats is high and trying to get the crew (singular) to adjust a fender is an argument waiting to happen hence I have a rather large supply of fenders. Of course they should never drag in the water. as for hire boats. Many have them permanent fixed so can’t be adjusted or brought onboard. So leave as is and cruise around and enjoy yourself and if people don't like you having your fenders down, so what?

Done while sitting in the sun by a half frozen lake!!

Overnight it’s forecast to swing SW, but still with some pretty chilly temps. Lets see what that freezes over.

Wondered if anyone had spotted any ice on the rivers or in the marinas yet? was well surprised to get to my local lakes this morning to see 90% of them iced over. Good job I had my Eskimo ice drill handy.

Who and what are we talking about here? or is this wishful thinking?

It’s what modern boats use because we dont all still live in the dark ages. we also have running water and flush toilets now !!! couldnt resist it either. Oh and there are new products used to build boats that are easier to maintain.

So your saying replace termites with cars? can get more people in a car too.

I very much doubt that volumes of co2 would affect you unless it was in a cupboard!!

Maybe the auto inflator was a little damp, but not enough to set it off and the movement combined with drying out (shrinking) the paper inflator was just enough. Would have been funnier if you had been trying it and went to the loo and got wedged in the head!!! Or was the question on how to deflate sent from the head? good reminder though to check all mine.

Those prices might keep the riff raff out though

Keep under 50 and don’t try and go round corners flat out and your fine. It’s at higher speeds you will go all wiggly and cause it to probably overheat. Same with run flats after they have deflated. Keep your speed down. Now i guess if we all drive at 50 max we could have a right old mix of tyres!!!

Worked for me on the iPhone

On the naughty chair MM

Last time I saw something like that was in a torture chamber. But she was gentle with me!!

Springs and the wind.

the New ting dene Winter Olympics ski jump!! thats our very own Ranworth Breeze in the background. the water should be dropping soon - I think. The rascal is safe. Seen in his wellies just 10 mins ago.
