Smoggy

MM the red house has been the reedcutters for a good few years now, do keep up old chap.

If a tv comes with a cigar lighter lead for 12v the chances are voltage control is done within the tv as well as the basic 240v/12v in the power brick. Most of the internal electricery is likely to run at 5v anyway.

My fridge has an added smart controller that makes it run harder when on charging voltage and much lower lever when the volts drop making it quieter, as Regulo says 3 days is pushing it at the best of times on batteries without any extra top up. If I am plugged in with battery charger going my solar controller display indicates charging in the dead of night as it's going by the voltage at the battery side rather than what the panel is producing so it may well say charging if the engine is running without the charger plugged in. What type of fridge and what age? If it gets cold it's probably fine.

I have a victron 30A 3 output which works well but only when plugged in obviously, I don't have shore power at my mooring so now have a solar panel as well which seems to keep things topped up so far but not had it over a winter yet. I also have a portable panel that I can plug in to the same controller which has helped out a lot over the last couple of weeks.

Don't keep them too busy, I have some gelcoat repairs needing done when an insurance company gives the go ahead....

They flew over us about an hour ago in st.neots, sounded great.

White horse at chedgrave is holding another comedy night on 24th september, I got my tickets. It will be in the garden under a marquee so may need to wrap up well if cold, landlord does give out blankets when needed. The one we did before was superb, see pubs website for details.

Oh yes I see, a quick glance made it look like they were tied out of the way for chocking but I see the wrapping now, I suppose once they wrap the mechanical leverage is huge without massive load on the engines.

OOooh! Expensively big ouch. I assume insured against underwater impact. And that has a bit of keel, I dread to think what mine would look like in a similar incident, do you know what it hit and how fast?

Sorry, we finished it.

What more can I say... It was bloody lovely! £3.60 pint.

You should be able to get all the info needed as theres a few on here that watched it being built....

I have a 24" sharp TV that came with a 12v lead, it does all the smart bits and with a usb/sata lead and a ssd on the you can save stuff at home and watch in places where the signal is crap. When not on the boat it's the bedroom TV.

By not giving him any booze you are doing him a favour, but I doubt he'll see it that way.

It's good to hear you are happy to share, it's a good trait to have and I salute you. What rum have you got? Don't invite him aboard again, it's no loss.

Bloody productive ticks strokes a gin. Definitely pakefield, I'm not that energetic.

Mermaid it is, walked past it earlier.

Can't say false advertising....

The first lock we ever negotiated ourselves was brownhill on the gt.ouse and the lockie at hermitage has warned us it was running a bit fast, confused by how a lock can run fast we found out when it was well over both gates, if it wasn't for wire fences we could have just gone around it. Yes erith was about a mile wide with picnic benches poking out of the water, Easter 2001 I think it was.

Had a nice brekkie at no.142 cafe, dogs in garden but lots of undercover with heaters (a bit over the top for august). Spent the night in the bitch in the ditch. Took train to lowestoft and currently sat outside the jolly sailor at wakefield, dog found a fellow Romanian on the beach to run about with so needs a rest....

Big thanks for passing that on, likely to be around there in a couple of days and the mutt is a right scavenger.

Thanks guys and gals, looks like it might be oulton bound then.

I gotta add, we like cold beer so phoned tonight from another pub to say 2 vanilla latte stouts poured and in the fridge please were on our way, arrived to a table pre beer matted and beer chilled ready, a proper good pub indeed. Took 20 minutes just to order a beer in the previous pub that we'd pre booked a table for food in.

The one in beccles get funny about dogs in their on street tables, I don't think it's even their property I'm sure it's council ground in which case I'll gladly get barred over a barney about it, however I wouldn't spend the money there in the first place. Dogs inside info please, the weather isn't that great this week and I'd like to stay till closing time.

Which oulton broad pubs are dog friendly these days? And which are recommended?
