I posted this on reader to reader at the beginning of the year and now winter in coming thought may be of interest. We all know that in the winter months arriving at the boat can be freezing and take 40 minutes to warm up so is nice now to be able to turn the heater on an hour before we arrive...

I know it's been covered before on here but as prices have been coming down drastically on GSM mobile relays I thought I'd order one and give it a go. We don't generally get to the boat till late evening and in the winter months the boat can be freezing and take 40 minutes to warm up so is...

I'm looking forward to the auction... Just counting my pennies http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39026845

It's that time for new boat covers and in the past I've used C&J who's covers seem to be highly recommended and possibly the best but not cheap. Is there anyone else I should consider before giving the go ahead or please just put my mind at rest that C&J are the place to go. Location is south...

Anyone going? I'll be on one of the Folly pontoons as of tomorrow morning (friday) if anyone's about.

Just received a text from Premier Marina's saying South Sea Marina has a fishing show on this Saturday and a FREE flare disposal service.

I wonder if someone can help... I've put up in the front cabin some cheap colour changing LED lights. Similar to this sort of thing...

This is more for information than anything and probably obvious but.... My boat has had a bow thruster from new and to say it was lacklustre would be an understatement, virtually useless. So, one of the jobs in the winter was to fit a new battery up where the thruster is rather than having the...

We were the only visitors there.. Although another boat did moor behind us for a couple of hours at lunchtime.. The kids had a great time on the beach.. The day was much better than we had anticipated.. But the clouds started gathering towards evening.. and after a bright start to...

A little confused by this report of a man on the Thames frozen to an anchor a couple of days ago? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11088870/Man-rescued-after-becoming-frozen-to-an-anchor.html

Nice views and pretty impressive flying so high above water..

Saw this on a yacht at the weekend. Not seen one before an by the time I got my phone out and camera on it had be retracted so only got a picture of what it looks like 'in' rather than 'out'. Pretty impressive. I imagine that where drag makes a lot of difference it's a God send to yotties...
