  1. The diesel engine is in your butty so you can say you are an electric motor boat. I do the same towing a generator in a trailer with my electric car. More seriously, I am interested in what is going on with electric boats but it is the same weekend as the IWA cavalcade. Cheers Graham
  2. http://electrika.uk/ It's on 3rd to 4th May. Trade on the 3rd, rabble on the 4th. Cheers Graham

  4. My licence is due for renewal on April 1st and we have just received a complicated email from C&RT about moorings. It seems that in future we we may need to provide proof of our mooring contract at Calcutt. Apparently those that have changed mooring or acquired a mooring will need to provide proof of their mooring contact 28 days in advance of renewal. There is also something complicated about shorter moorings which did my head. Cheers Graham
  5. I reckon we will be going to Brum via Hatton again for the challenge. Sulk. Cheers Graham
  6. On this map I think that means broad canal which is unnavigable perhaps? Let's throw this into the pot, a map from a BW guide of 1966. GU north of Berkhamsted - narrow Slough arm wide L&L - wide Caldon missing Cheers Graham

  10. Yes. So I can load either side. Cheers Graham
  11. I built a crane to get my gas bottles out as it was cheaper than employing my physiotherapist. It consists of a standard scaffolding jib, a pole, a winch and some clamps to clamp it to the front deck, there is also a socket in the front seats. Downside, assembly is a bore, the pole itself is a bit on the heavy side and the winch strictly speaking is not cleared for lifting. The picture shows the first winch which was actually a puller, I replaced it with the sort of thing you use to winch a dingy onto a trailer. It works and I have saved a fortune. Cheers Graham
  12. An actual vampire? Let me think about that.....
  13. Can you get the event put on the BCN society Facebook page then I can share it to a number of canal groups. Cheers Graham
  14. Dotterel is in, new crew, young energetic - alcoholic. Cheers Graham
