The signs on the Yare at Reedham stating "No Mooring - Danger of being hit by coasters" were still there until very recently. May stiil be?

They went to Norwich, I think they moored before the rail bridge?

They might find my uncle Alf's cigarette lighter - lost overboard in 1958.

What's boring about watching an environmental health team trying to find the source of the smell that the neighbours are complaining about? Nobody suspects sprouts in August!!! Especially in my attic.

Had mine simmering since August. I can always finish them in the microwave on the day.

Sunbird had an Eberspacher Hydronic, which was a mini central heating boiler really. Fed a normal household radiator in the rear cabin and hot air outlets via fan matrixes (matrices?) to saloon and front cabin. Also heated the calorifier via a second primary coil. Very pleased with that system. It would have been even better to have had all radiators, but space wouldn't allow.

King, surely?

Does this work: YnysMôn (Sorry for the detour from the topic!).

If you are using Windows with a desktop pc, look for "Character Map" in accessories (I think that's where it is). You can use any of those symbols. I have added it on my start menu.

Nah, I'd want all inclusive.

I'm afraid this is going to be repeated all over the country. It's one thing encouraging people to go electric, but without the capacity to provide the oomph, we can't move on. Even now, users of overnight cheap rate electric for car charging are having their scheduled start times staggered to alleviate the "hit" on supply that would come if all the car chargers turned on at once. All new EV home chargers must now come with a means for the energy supplier to remotely monitor and control them. It's all a stop gap anyway, until hydrogen comes online.

Do they take groats? I think I have a few in my wallet. In amongst the farthings, coppers, thrupenny bits, tanners, bobs, half crowns, ten bob notes and white fivers. Admit it, youngsters - you know not of what I speak!!!

Although designated footpaths are usually the responsibility of the County Council, some paths we use are down to local authorities. A few years back, I found the path at the end of the boardwalk from Brundall Church Fen BA moorings to the village to be almost impassable. I raised a query to Brundall Parish council, who very quickly had it cleared. Who is responsible for what isn't easily established, leading to nobody being responsible for anything!

Next point of discussion: Is that a residential dwelling? Do I care? Not really, but it's too hot to do anything else but sit at this keyboard!

I stand corrected. From the BA website: "Are there any main areas that are exempt and are not considered adjacent waters? Any waters which are used, whether for mooring or navigation only, by an occupant of an adjoining residential dwelling." I presume that to mean, as long as the vessel doesn't move onto the main navigation.

I seem to recall a big discussion here a few years back about "adjacent waters", but lost the will to live after a few pages! So I'm probably wrong!

Got to have tax, whether private mooring or not, and yes, to get said tax, got to have a BSS certificate. That's the rules - not always followed by some, and it takes a long while for the authority to take meaningful action, in some cases.

Air can get through a pipe quicker than liquid/toilet mush. The vent pipe should be just that - to vent the tank. Of course there must be a way of getting air in, but the pipe doesn't need to be the same diameter as the sucky out pipe (1.5 or 1.75 ins). Never seen a vent skin fitting that size.

Depends on the size of the tank and skin fittings - just get one that fits!

Not me selling it, Helen, it's the people I sold it to. Who knows, it might return to the Broads!

Not at all, Matt. I won't post the details on the open forum, but let's say the purchasers had a "life event" just after Sunbird was acquired. That's probably the reason she's now on the market. A good buy, I reckon - but I would say that, wouldn't I?

I had a sapphire 32, so am familiar with them generally. One piece of advice, in mind of an incident previously discussed, please ensure you and any crew likely to use the dual helms, fully understand the correct operation of the system. Apologies if I'm telling you what you already know.

Confirmed or estimated? Don't hold your breath!! Even "confirmed" delivery dates are being pushed back at present, due to "unforeseen component shortages beyond our control". Some Teslas have even been delivered minus USB ports and various bits of non-essential electronics, in an effort to keep delivery dates.

Never mind - it'll fit in whatever replacement you get. You will get a replacement, if yours is dead, I trust?
