Looking at the BSC it mentions tanks being pressure tested. I like the idea of using the waste tank as an extra fuel tank but would it pass the BSC.

French Marine are the main parts supplier according to Barrus. Their prices are reasonable but they're not that well organised and I've had to chase them a few times

SWMBO has talked about this, in principle it sounds like a good idea

Have just been reading a bit of background on the Kuzma Minin Since May it had been stuck in Holland with unpaid bills, the crew have not been paid in months and were living off of handouts from the locals.The Mumansk Shipping Company who own the ship are under investigation in Russia. A ship owned by a bankrupt company with a demoralised crew isn't a particularly good combination

Well there's a surprise. Just heard Leamington Bridge now shut for 3 months

Not finding it (admit I'm not that good with Facebook stuff). Maybe change it to Lowland Canals neglected

There's certainly positivity up here, hopefully that's reciprocated with the guys at the Glasgow end.
