Now it starts again, The endless run of maintenence up to the boating season. The engines are twin 350 hp marine diesel engines and the guy in the photograph (not me but my very, very good friend) is inspecting the engine prior to my purchase, no relation at all to why he is showing so much underwear :o)) I`m sure.:o))

Ah the trials of boatyness, it's worth tho when everything (eventually) fits and you get a gorgeous spring day and you're the only one out.....?
:)
And, and, and, I`m sitting in Facom with a cold drink, awaiting the tide for a trip to the Channel Islands and the seafood of saint Marlo! I know you are right but I seem to have lost a bit of direction :o(( for the moment you understand! Thanks for the comment Fuffy!
BRRRRRR!
Yea its a bit too Brrrr! at the moment -7 last night! I know! I`m a sissy :o))
Sissy? I'd have nicked an eberspacher and put it in my sleeping bag (no euphemism intended) at that kind of cold!
Hope you had a lovely time tho :)
Hi Fuffy! I had the Eberspacher on for a few minutes after I retired to my cabin, under a "five million TOG super douper douvet" and the electric heating system too, for the whole of the night! but what did I do I shut my Cabin door and yes with no eber going and the electric heating extending only as far as the passage way outside my cabin, I froze on the first night (Friday). The douvet
(man made fibre, so its washable, being on a boat) is like sleeping under a nine inch thich heavyweight "Weetabix" and not very good, in fact, as much as I could ever hate anything I think this would be first on my list. I do like to sleep in a cold environment but I hadn`t expected it to be quite so cold or I could have left the cabin door open, but I sure as hell, wasn`t going to get out of bed to do that, :o)) when I finally got up I opened my cabin door and was nearly knocked over by the heat :o)) I think the main suite could be used as a chiller if ever required. I am looking for a goose down douvet now, Sod the washing requirement I`ll bin at the end of every season or whenever it is necessary!
If I remember correctly the early "Ebers" used to provide (at extra cost) a flexitube to plug into the outlets and they had a hairdryer knozzle on them ? I should have got one of those and with the use of elastic bands, secured it up the leg of my "Jim Jams" :o)) and left the eber on all night? Tee Hee! I`d have looke like the Mitchelin Man Well, more like the mitchelin man than usual:o((
Teeeheeee!!
Cor! They are big!
Hi Mmmm! not as big as some though fortunately they have been looked after well (I hope) and shouldn`t need too much work over the next ten years, that I propose to own them. Their fuel use might cut down my "Ba*lsout habit* a bit though :i))
