  1. Well got stuck with this in southern Denmark this week, on the way back from the pub to the hotel. Still got back to CPH for my flight back home to: silly uncle Fred. 👍🏻
  2. Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious .... was another one we knew well.
  3. We still get free AA cover with main dealer service on our Chinese MG’s, plus a 7 year transferable warranty. 🤔. So I guess Clarkson and May got it partly right back in 2012 on TG? Cheers Paul
  4. Is that paddle boards or sailing boats 🤪🤣 cheers Paul
  5. Hey there, There could be a few folks on here that may have or know of something, it depends on what type of boat you’re looking for and your budget etc. kind regards Paul
  6. Again I fully agree, however I guess some folks just don’t know this, nor do they realise, that in reality when you work it out the time saved is pretty much nothing.
  7. Fully agree, however the way things appear to be going, no worries about mooring at the pubs, you can all keep that, it’s the remaining moorings that appear to be in decline. Especially I guess for those who need access to the land, for some I guess this can add a whole heap of stress to get we’re they need to as quickly as possible, to make sure they get there before the rest. Praise be the mud weights… the best stress relief/plan B going 👍
  8. It’s the ratio that’s different.
  9. I agree adding pontoon moorings, but the push towards longer, wider and taller boats, that can’t on a lot of occasions navigate some bridges, this has the effect of condensing these boats that soon fill up moorings in to specific available areas. Maybe some of the yards also need to consider the size and height of their boats, vs mooring options 🤔
  10. It’s the slippery seaweed that is the problem. 🤔
  11. We were up from Wednesday to Sunday. After getting drenched 3 times, and the thought of this weekends weather stuck on the boat, we packed up and came home toady. (Friday midday, leaving before more forecasted rain and the high winds over the weekend). Where has summer gone? cheers Paul
  12. Maybe not just an age thing? I was always told when passing moored craft especially in areas were there are lost of boats, mariners, yards and built up areas, not to create more wash that could rock a dingy.
  13. How about a “SPEED: dead slow beyond this point” sign? That gets around the speed limits issue. No one really knows what 3mph or any other speed really is on a boat anyway, as it is just not relative to some, the ones that get it right check their wash, the minority just don’t care and nothing will reach them anyway, unless you get you own back a pour your dinner over them to see how they like it. Instead of speed limits, wash hight 🌊 signs would probably be more effective or both? kind regards Paul
  14. If you can get some of the bubble wrap that is covered in foil used for insulation, a roll or two used to cover your cabin windows during the day when the sun is out during hot days, makes for keeping the cabin much cooler. 👍🏻
  15. Hello James 👋 That doesn’t seem to be a too bad price, I guess that includes the Vague Addition to the Total? (VAT)? Some of the less accessible moorings (for some) above those bridges can sometimes offer some lower cost options, it’s worth having a look through the different yards to see what they can offer, and of course if you’re happy and able to pass the bridge/s? If you can it can also be beneficial to arrange a look around the moorings to compare with what you have vs what may be saved. Happy hunting Kind regards Paul
