Lulu

Thank you for the latest update. Its looking very cosy and homely. Cant get over the vast quantities of glasses but at least you can enjoy washing them over and over! I like the silver horses but you can keep the gulls . Get a ships cat!

But then its off topic and i just want to read the story :( *sulk*

I cant waffle for the sake of waffling lol

Oooerrrrr , I'd better behave then! Guess this means if im useless in thw Christmas quiz, ill be booted lol

Id like to have a go but if its techy stuff about boats, im clueless!

Looks like I cant access this as im not a full member as ive only made 49 posts. Hopefully this one will let me gain access with 50!

Yes, we are all sitting cross legged on the mat in story corner

Get well soon!

Great update Robin. LEDs are hubbys passion too lol

Is it Robins Amazon order? ;)

Well I trawled through the slides but dad couldnt find the old ones just mainly caribbean boats from the 70's. because they were safer when me and my brother were little. I believe he hired some boats from FB Wilds I did find some photos of times I can remember when i was a bit older.

Please post more on this project and pics. I'm certainly not bored!

:P Dad's loaded them all up ready for the projector to view tomorrow. I cant wait. It will bring back all the memories when I was always wanting to go to the 'beach' (salhouse) Im hoping the earlier pics will be when they hired woodies (before I was born)

I'm loving this thread. Im going to see if my parents have got any old photos this weekend, although I think they are all on slides :(

Robin's going to have to buy a lawn mower too by the sounds of it!

We've had a dehumidifier running constantly since October plus general useage when on the boat most weekends using a couple of heaters, tv etc. Think we are up to about £25 so far but obviously its a considerably smaller boat than Robins!

Cant wait for the video blog showing Plymouth to Norfolk cruise

Sounds and looks like a lovely last trip before your boat is tucked up for the winter :) Roll on next aeason!

We woke up this morning at 8.00am. It was so peaceful. We never usually sleep past 6.00. The boat was cosy and I had my now usual mug of tea and a cinnamon roll. Utter bliss, shame we had to come back :( Roll on next season when we can stay longer!

Something strange is happening being a new boat owner. ..... I never drink tea at home yet absolutely relish a mug of tea first thing when I wake up on the boat. The other thing is, I'm listening to classical music which I dont often do at home. My only explanation is our boat is a sanctuary away from our normal stressful lives so subconsciously we live differently on the water. I'm curious, does anyone else have totally different habits only when boating?

Hi Riverbank. Warm welcome to the forum. I'm new too and they seem a friendly bunch ;)

Im on vodaphone and had loads of signal - 4g on Salhouse. I dont want to put Trev's post as quoted as it will take up too much space but re the condensation, a dehumidifer is the answer. We arrived on Saturday morning in the frost and the cabin was bone dry and reasonably warm. We have it running all the time and the water drains into the sink through the pipe attachment. I believe its a desiccant one. .We have it on low if we stay over night. Im not sure if that's recommended as it will probably make you dehydrated by the morning lol but at least the windows are dry!

I'd come back as my greyhounds. They sleep most of the day upside down on the sofa and each have a slice of hot buttered toast every evening at 8.00pm. Its a very nice life :)

Just came back from Norfolk after a long day cleaning through the boat, draining the water system, putting a heater in the engine bay and cleaning the canopy. We didnt have time last week when we picked the boat up. We did however put the dehumidifier in last week. Worked an absolute treat. Very frosty this morning when we arrived and the was no condensation anywhere and the saloon was lovely and toasty. Best £159 we could have spent.
