  1. Theres a huge sliding hatch giving access to very wide stairs, which leads down into the galley. The new owner has owned I think 5 boats previously, more recent ones being wide and is currently in the process of selling the latest one to replace with Pauline, who freely admitted he's been wanting Pauline for the past 10 years and is the 6th and final boat as he has got to where he wants to be now. I'm not sure you can see it in any of the pictures but the blue steel rail on the main cabin top slides into place for safety on top of the back cabin, and it's the same rail which was used when they crossed the lumpy stuff to Europe. The owner isn't new to boats, that's his job as well as hobby. Pauline is currently on her to way Harkers yard for any required work to be carried out 🙂
  2. Thanks for the link, it made me double check the routers settings and somehow I'd left it on three.co.uk. I've just changed it back to 3internet and pop! Public IP address was assigned... and I can get on the CCTV cameras again using my ddns name. I'm sure I tried it repeatedly the other day with no luck but hey ho. Thanks again and apologies for hijacking the thread 😊
  3. I've been playing with this recently... We've got CCTV set up over the yard, and with dynamic DNS and port forwarding could access the cameras whilst out and about. Absolutely no problem for the past couple of years... however recently after a MIFI router restart, the CCTV refused to connect whilst I was away on a fuel run. When I got back I realised that the routers public IP address was actually an internal IP. This was when the APN was "3internet". Had a quick Google about the problem and when I changed to "three.co.uk" it still didn't work but interestingly, any all of the DDNS, Port Forwarding etc settings were unavailable. I changed back to "3internet" and whilst the settings were accessible again, the external IP was still a CGNAT'd internal IP. Very frustrating! Three must have recently changed their settings across the board.
  4. How did you go on with this using Three? Along with many other providers, Three use Carrier Grade NAT which means your donlge/device doesn't actually have a public IP address, and so port forwarding etc will not work over the Internet.
  5. The restriction is from Brooklands Bridge to Seamons Moss Bridge 6.30am till 6pm.
  6. Have a word with Lynnette across the way, she will probably have a contact in the Land/Estate department?
  7. It's not just Facebook, it's been on a lot of others over the past 12 months or maybe more. I know it was on Apolloduck, Boats and Outboards, Find a Fishing Boat (?) and advertised through Boat Shed brokerage in a lot of places online and over in Europe too. Might have been a stretch to say no surprises, but its definitely fair to may to say that the current owner would tell you everything that was wrong with the boat before he told you all of the good things. Maybe one of the reasons why the boat's not sold yet but the asking price comes 2nd to finding the correct person to take on the boat.
  8. I've had the pleasure of being invited on to Pauline several times in the past, and it is an absolutely lovely boat. Has been very well cared for whilst the family were living oboard and continues to be well looked after now. Yes as with all old boats, a constant supply of care and maintenance is needed with a good supply of elbow grease needing to be applied but she's definitely been setup for a new owner to take on with no surprises. Having been advertised for over a year, and having the price drastically reduced, I am completely and utterly at a loss why this boat hasn't been sold.
  9. Here's Tommy who lives and works (ha!) on a fuel boat. His currency is gravy Bones.
  10. As its now a longer boat, it would probably mean adding ballast into the new bit.
  11. It'll be a Lister Blackstone 2G gearbox, fitted with a 3:1 reduction in this case. When engaging forward gear on mine there's a definite "snap" into ahead, so there must be some fair force at play to throw it out of gear.
  12. Yes was about to say its actually quite a pleasant aroma! However that doesn't stop you looking a rather big fool when you're on all fours sniffing the coping stones 🤣
  13. Tell tale signs of Otters is their scat, or "spraint" as its technically known. Once you know what you're looking for it stands out like a saw thumb and gives away the fact they've been visiting.
  14. Same with me just now. I assume they've been updated and so before accessing you have to agree to continue or don't agree and leave 🙂
  15. Might be worth looking into setting up the very popular Stripe payment gateway which has a transaction charge of 1.4% rather than the 2.9% that PayPal charges. People donating can enter their card details online as they seem to be doing at the moment through PayPal anyway. The only downside is that a stand alone bank account would be needed.
  16. The current Sabb (pictured) replaced the Alisa Craig RF4.
  17. Nothing to worry about, I've spent the last 13 years pushing them out of the way, deep into the mud! 😀
  18. Apologies for resurrecting a rather old thread, but need to update a particular place listed on Open Canal Map. I've used the email address in the footer on the website but this bounces back. Are you still out there @toms1
  19. The AS3 will be staying! Myself and @Kez have started to get quite fond of it 😊

    Anson

    Yes the trip boat cabin does need a fair bit of TLC. Once completed Anson will be continuing service as a trip boat.

    Anson

    Anson has now joined us and the rest of the fleet up at Preston Brook. Just wondering if anyone has any old photos or stories they could share. Thanks 🙂

    Armstrong AS3

    I snarfed about the Armstrong at first but after these couple of days on the way home it is growing on me... Either way its definitely worth a discussion when we get back 🙂

    Armstrong AS3

    Would you want to revert back to an AS3? I would take the HA2 as a swap 😃
