Great photos and memories Chris!
In the summer of '76 I became engaged to be married... something to do with the heat and going out in the midday sun 😉
-
UV rays can certainly cause damage, I'm not sure about heat per se though.

It is remarkable how "our" boat becomes "your" boat whenever money is discussed.
It is similar to the cost, maintenance and clearing up involved with "my" car, "my" dog and "my" garden 😁

I'd always need a little help from "upstairs" when playing poker! Didn't get it obviously lol

Glad to hear you're home Ian, best place to convalesce carefully and thoroughly 👍

I will... if it goes OK 😁

I have the tin, the photo was indeed an old one just to indicate the type of product.
No hardener, no gloves etc.
Definitely not to be used anywhere other than well ventilated outside but that's what I want it for.
The filler itself looks very smooth and is a really good bright white colour, it's like looking into a can of brilliant white gloss paint.
Be a few days before I get to try it but will let you know how well it applies and dries etc.

It feels good when you sell a boat to know she's in good hands 👍

Thanks John, I will move it rather than remove it. I guess as I have one and as it can clearly be useful it would be a bit daft of me not to fit it 👍

I like a belt and braces approach to things 👍

Thank you... it seems to be yes and no depending on the circumstances and conditions of mooring then. I guess that's as expected.
Will remove it I think then maybe have a look at putting it somewhere else as part of winter tinkering, I mean maintenance.

Gimmick? Essential? Somewhere in between?
My boat came with a GI unit externally mounted on the outside of the transom. It's ugly and I'm going to remove it.
At a pinch I could open the case and use the components inside it as an inline device somewhere near the consumer unit.... But I'd rather not bother!
New anodes were fitted a month ago. At a very basic level I understand what it does but with an anode do I need it?

I’m not a massive football fan and my wife even less so, but we both watched the England teams progress through the competition with a sense of pride and patriotism. Whilst sport may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it provided a diversion from the gloom and doom of the past 18 months and gave many a sense of hope. There have been few occasions over the past few years where the country has united behind a team to such a degree. The end result wasn’t what we hoped for, but at least we got further than in 2016.
Lets hope for some British success in the Olympics. There are many sports that I have no interest in, but anything to give the public a reason to have pride in the people that are representing our country in such a prestigious event is surely something to be applauded.
That is my take on it exactly, word for word 👍 🍺

Presently moored on the island at Womack Water. It's all a bit odd, or we are very lucky. Just popped in at about 1700 on the off chance and lo and behold. We've also moored at Gaye's Staithe, Paddy 's, Sutton Staithe, that brilliant wild mooring near Wayford (hat tip to Grif or Robin), could have got in at Thurne, spurned the vacancy at Irstead, and failed at Dilham! At this rate, stern on at Ranworth will be a cinch. It has been raining a bit, mind you, so nothing's perfect. Oh, and we are flying the NBN burgee/pennant, so perhaps that's the secret.
Buy a lottery ticket 🤞

I'm hoping it is just an out of date image, the product description is pretty clear.
I'll let you know when it arrives!

Hmm 2 choices the right way using gel coat for a lasting job or the easy way which will probably mean doing it twice.

You're right of course, I was just hoping to get away with being lazy and efficient at the same time... a man can dream 😁

Are there any suitable non-mix fillers? I don't like faffing about mixing hardener.
A fine finish would be ideal too. I don't like faffing about with sanding.
You can probably spot a trend here lol

Well done Ian, they have to learn but it can feel a bit like being a lab rat!

I imagine that Marina and the nurses have already told you off for turning the machine off Ian
You know the rules, stay where you are and do what you're told and that way you have a whole army on your side in the fight.
Stay positive and look forward, we are all sending our best possible wishes.

Her car, her dog, her garden.... the boat would have to be torn from my cold, dead hands 😂😂😂
