I get the original message every few days from my (ancient) tablet. I just try again a few minutes or hours later; sometimes get the same message but often okay. I also get it on other bulletin board forums using that tablet, so not sure it is anything specific to CWDF. The tech admin of one of those sites suggested it is because the version of chrome / android on the tablet is now very out-of-date. (And so old that it will no longer do updates!). More of a nuisance than a major issue; I just keep passwords unique and don't put my bank details on the tablet.

The standard New Islington Marina licence agreement is here: https://www.waterwayleisure.com/terms-and-conditions. All the usual things to potentially fall foul of, e.g.: failure to provide a residential address if on a Leisure mooring, insufficient insurance, boat not in good repair or good decorative condition, no rubbish on the pontoons, being a nuisance or annoyance, etc. (Not saying the OP wasn't complying with all or any of these, just that there could be plenty of reasons for Waterpride not to renew)

Blizzard is on to something here. Heated clothing ought to be more efficient / cheaper than heating the whole boat or house). And it would work on deck too.

Can you use your more sensitive alarm to narrow down where CO might be leaking from? Around stove doors? Flue base? Higher up? ...

Agreed. My comment was aimed at the fence maintenance / security fencing bit.

But also because in parts of the UK you can be killed just by walking on the line, even when there are no trains running. (Something which overseas visitors, or even those from other parts of the UK, don't realise).

If you are moored where there is road access then you could look for a firm that empties cesspits. They just need to be able to drop a pipe into your tank. But probably (a lot) more expensive than cruising to the pump-out station.

W̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶i̶d̶i̶o̶t̶ Who paints decks with gloss paint? 😯 Edited Thursday at 03:23 by blackrose Those who moor up using just a centre line? ☺️

It sounds as though what you are looking for is a hotel boat. Apart from Ellis mentioned above there are a number of others: see https://www.hotelboating.co.uk/the-hotelboats-crews.html. But you have to fit in with their crusing schedules.

You can dry out silica gel, to reuse it.

Absolutely, for liveaboards (who don't retain a house). They get council-funded services (police, fire, education for any children, street-lighting to get safely to/from the (non-waterside) pubs & shops, social care / welfare when they eventually get too decrepit, etc) without having to contribute anything towards them.

But you would have to agree that that's a bit illogical. So it is ok to keep a 4-ton truck, but not a small VW camper?? If it was really about manoeuvrability it should just be a maximum vehicle size ...

I would have thought the original reason for the rule is to avoid people parking up and sleeping in a motorhome overnight. If as you say you are never sleeping in it when onsite (and you are not letting anyone else sleep in it either) then it isn't really any different to any other car or vehicle. I would write back explaining that.

Built 2021, so possibly commissioned 2020. People often forget how different the world was 3 years ago. No international travel. No socialising with others. Unclear whether or when there would be a working vaccine, so how long everything would be locked down. Perhaps not surprising that someone would commission something like this at that time.
