I guess maybe a read-back of previous threads would help you... then I note where you are and I think.... oh..... yeah... well..... maybe there is a reason.

 

Reason: failed wind up.

You need everything, including the kitchen sink.

Oh, he's definately got a sense of humour Chris! He's been Smudge's mate for most of his life! ;)

 

Seriouslly though, he was talking about having a tug deck so that he doesn't have to sell all of his motorbikes so if anyone's got any ideas for him in that direction I'm sure he'd be well chuffed.

To navigate on BW waters (and most others such as EA) the basics, aside from a boat, are a licence, insurance and a valid Boat Safety Certificate (unless the boat is less than four years old)

 

A mooring is optional but there are rules that are hotly debated on here if you don't have one.

 

If you moor where Smudge and Purple Fairy live you may not need a BW licence if you never move.

Morris K99 grease.

Scotch.

Gin.

Tonic.

A toolkit so heavy that putting it all on your boat in one go will cause it to submerge, or alternatively, a reel of gaffer tape and a big hammer.
