Oh Ray what have you gone and done, a bigger boat means more to clean or have you signed up to their bi-monthly cleaning contract
Cracking boat, enjoy.

Marshman we have sat next to people that don't shower so often and the air pollution is horrendous.

A friend of mine who drove a bus out in the countryside used to say such people used "Instead of wash" sprays.

Quite interesting from sterling power when comparing the purchse prices.

I went a couple of years ago, parking was free and I think it was £5 per person to enter. There was less stalls than expected and if I hadnt found a discontinued part I would be thinking £2.50 to enter would be a fairer price.

Speaking of my own chinese heater. The warming of the glow plug before the burner will fire up is the biggest draw on the batteries after that the drain on batteries drops right
PS. E01 on the panel is low voltage.
I have run it for 7 hours at maximum some nights in the winter and it uses around 0.5L of diesel per hour which is something else to consider and I couldnt run it all night if I wanted too because of the fuel pump ticking away whilst being so close to the bed so I use the little fob to switch it off when in bed and if needs be I can turn it on before getting out of bed. As for noise, I have asked and nobody has complained.

Thinking that a current member owned or had some part in the history of that boat.

What happened to the missing £3.8bn raised in 2018 needs explaining first along with how builders were allowed to pay amnesties to swerve building regulations.

Which explains why we are advised to make a Yarmouth passing at low water slack which is 1 hour after low water at the Yacht Station. This is to avoid the strong currents. If you have a high air draft boat you are better transiting at actual low water as by 1 hour after you will already lost some clearance.
Something I found out during a high water passage this January is that The Rangers have an app that tells them the actual bridge height in real time. I did not know this I thought that they told you the bridge height by phoning the Yacht Station the same as we can.
We were approached by the SOB and as it was clear we were a private boat he simply asked what bridge height we needed. He then told us what it actually was. When I said I was using The Troll app he said he had an app with the actual height live. It was around 4" different to Troll.
The good thing with Troll is that is shows the tidal curve for the previous tides so I knew that even though we may not be able to pass at actual high water the tide would drop away very quickly, which it did.
Werid that you mention The Troll app as I was told about it only this morning.

Having lived in different counties within England it is not uncommon to see poor local reporting., I think some of it is down to funding and reporters starting out in the business.

‘S funny you should mention that. I remember when the wife (some years ago now) came out to me while I was cleaning my motor bike. She said ‘I wish you’d treat me like you do that ruddy bike.’ The offer of a rub down with an oily rag didn’t go down too well!
Wrong kind of oil bud
