Jess--

He's got us boxed in on 3 sides here and owns the only access road

CCTV tends to fall into one of three categories 1. Observation : lowest quality / widest viewing angle, you can see what is happening but will not be able to see who is doing it (a human takes up 5% or less of the picture) - example a camera overlooking a supermarket car park 2. Recognition : You will be able to recognise people you know or that have distinctive features or follow a person from camera to camera, (a human will take up 5-15% of the picture - example a camera overlooking an aisle inside a supermarket 3. Identification : a person in the picture can be easily identified when compared to a photograph, the face is clear and usually facing the camera - example the camera on the doors to a supermarket

Not sure about the CRT moorings but the other moorings (motor yacht club / sailing club or boston gateway marina) are not floating pontoons and it's pretty common to see boats go under over winter with high river levels.

Heated grips are a wonderful thing on a bike, and did think about adding a heating pad to the seat but I tend to find that the one bit that stays warm is my backside.

Do the current rules (about having to pedal) cover older electric bikes or are they grandfathered? I wonder as I have an older one (probably around 20 years old) which has the electric drive as a totally independent system and got me up to around 40 (probably less now as I have gained some weight), you only make the mistake of snapping open the throttle from a standing start once as you end up sitting in the road wondering where the bike has gone.

Only jumped through quickly so may have missed it.... But if it hasn't already been said connect the battery to the controller before connecting the solar panel some controllers have issues if the panel is connected first (wrong voltage selection or releasing the magic smoke)

we used to have one of the moonraker black box aerials which used to sit about an inch above the cratch in normal use, we did used to have a pole it could be switched to for some extra height (clothesline prop was ideal), Generally it worked well apart from in poor signal areas. A friend had a log periodic on their boat and one evening we tried switching aerials, where his tv could find 4 channels using his log periodic it found 12 with the moonraker in the same spot, where ours found 2 channels with the moonraker (rubbish tuner in the tv) it found nothing with the log periodic.

For getting perspex & similar sheets cut ask around to find someone locally who has a laser cutter, most of the commercial ones can cut it with a cleaner / more accurate cut than you ever could by hand (and a hell of a lot quicker).

Surely that should be no fixed address? No fixed abode would be where you could be on any boat / car / house / shop doorway etc and this will change from day to day No fixed address would be where you will be on a boat called xxxx (registration yyyy) or in a motorhome (registration zzzz) etc but the location of the boat etc may change from day to day (i.e. what you will be in is identified but where it will be is not)

we always found that consistently between 80-85 hours our lpws4 would start to hunt slightly at our usual cruising speed (slightly faster or slower was rock solid), we always took it as a sign that we needed to change the oil in 2 days time (presumably it was because we had wear on the rack at the most used position). With practice we got the oil change down to around 30 mins.

Common around here a couple of years back to have large barns rented out only to have the filled (and I really do mean filled completely) with tyres. Of course once it's discovered the people renting the barn have vanished and the owner has to pay to dispose of the tyres (at around £130 per ton / £1 per tyre)

I'm guessing that from the Rent rather than Hire in the title the OP means rented out via airbnb etc where it's treated as holiday cottage that floats.

Most of the go-pro cameras have a wi-fi link (not bluetooth) which should work over a fair distance (we never had any issues at 45 feet) using their app you should be able to get a live image on an ipad or similar android tablet (and be able to record with a single tap). Ours wasn't used to see what was ahead, more used to record nice views or unusual things happening.

I suspect that the 25 boats that have been moved on with no license / Insurance (and presumably no license or at least an invalidated one) would also come under the umbrella of being poor / non payers of mooring fees. I suspect that with covid there are probably a fair few boats sat in marinas that currently have a deceased owner because all of the paperwork relating to the boat is on the boat and relatives may know that John "had" a boat somewhere but no idea of where.
