We loved the Upper Thames, both our Freemans were well suited up there, both had marinised Ford Anglia engines put putting away like a sewing machine, very easy to work on using only a thimble full of fuel an hour.
Byron, what a top bloke 🙏
I'd happily stand you a fabulous traditional English at The Galley, the only place to go for breakfast when the sun is shining run by Brian Tuitt, ex Bad Manners drummer and his lovely lady.
There are some great eating places within three minutes walk of the harbour. Italian, Thai, Turkish, Indian and a plethora of English food from a traditional breakfast to upmarket burgers and fine dining with a view.
Nah, got 31 visiting boats from from Belgium this weekend then they race back. I think the following weekend a similar expedition from France.
Our berth is vacant from Monday for two weeks😊
It's expensive for a bit of welded aluminium box section as I don't think it includes the seat but I'm sure a fabricator could knock something up to your requirements.
No but they were running fine about three years ago, they just couldn't shut one down remotely and had to go to the engine and stop it manually.
Personally, I can't see the value in it, over the years people have only taken out of the boat and put nothing in, apart from a huge TV. Is looks...
Up for auction part II 🙈
Good afternoon
Special Online Marine Auction - Mon 20th to Tues 21st May 2024
We felt that Antiva did not reach a wide-enough audience at last week's auction.
This is a valuable boat and following consultation with Ramsgate Marina we are instructed to re-offer...
We had one on a couple of our early boats and a cassette on the caravan. Only ever used by two but emptied every two days without fail, if you use enough blue fluid then it shouldn't smell but they can become surprisingly heavy and unmanageable.
As for leaving it for four weeks before emptying...
All very unusual!
The winning bidder did not know the vessel had to vacate the marina within two weeks or they would have to start to pay mooring fees.
When a prospective bidder signed up for a contract to to bid and gain a bidding number, they would be legally bound to abide by the contract...
And the absolute requirement to gain critical acclaim is to discuss the virtues of at least one radio check, preferably early on to engage with the reader.
It's use is a platform for 24hr drone surveillance in the English Channel, I'd like to comment further but I'm sure I would end up with another bout of 'Shore leave'........
