  1. good ta, off to the anchor friday, you ok?

  2. Yes that's us... The Lead boat is 64ft long, my friends boat is 45ft long and has at present one very leaky injector pump, hence the reason I am currently towing them slowly but surely to our destination. The little cruiser belongs to the lead boat. And in case your wondering, no we dont actually do this for fun... we are not completely mad.. just good friends helping each other along the way as genuine boaters do. As for Audlem we did eleven on the first day, taking the lead boat through first and sitting her just outside the bottom gates whilst refilling the lock and pulling the second boat and her butty by hand into the lock. Once the lock had emptied opened bottom gates and hitched her back up to the lead boat. Then refilling the lock and bringing the cruiser down behind, again by hand. Each lock, three times, and eleven (33 in total)completed in under 5 hours.
  3. Hello. I have a pump out on my boat but also have a porta potty as a back up. Simply because it may not always be just the weather that prevents you from moving the boat, engine trouble or stoppages could also leave you unable to reach a boat yard to empty your loo. The BW pump out points are considerably cheaper than any boat yard I have as yet come across though purchasing the cards is not always easy either unless you have an address to have them sent to. I love the luxury of my pumpout but sleep easier knowing I have a backup as I spend more time on the water than I do on land. My tank will usually give me and my two kids three weeks cruising before I need to pump out so it must have been almost full when you got your boat, unless it has a teeny weeny tank. Hope you get something sorted soon and welcome to the wonderful world of Britain's beautiful canal network. Best wishes and happy cruising. Kathy
