  1. Last year we had a bad keel & had to replace the co-op boat. This year, the rudder on the replacement (50-year-old) boat is full of water & isn't safe. ⛵️💸

    Drowning my sorrows with black forest cake.

  6. Hey, so, anyone know a cheap place to get a Catalina 27 rudder in the pacific NW? Or a fast and cheap place to get it rebuilt (or built from scratch, if that's a thing)?

    Blackline can rebuild it, but it'll take a month.

  11. The term “hosepipe ban” does not mean a blanket ban on any use of hosepipes, it means specific uses are restricted. You can check these on the website of the relevant water company. For example here are the restrictions from South East Water southeastwater.co.uk/about/upd So please before you decide to police someone’s use of the hose, make sure you know the terms you are policing. #hosepipeBan #boatLife 2/2

  12. A little #hosepipeBan tip for anyone who lives around #boatLife folk. If you see someone using a hosepipe to fill their boat (or Van, or other domicile)’s water tanks, especially if it is a blue foodsafe hose, this is NOT a violation of the ban. This is equivalent to them drawing mains water for drinking and domestic use. We usually do not connect our boats directly to mains water pressure as this causes a sinking risk. So filling tanks is our only way to get domestic water supply. 1/2

  13. Join us tonight as we reflect on that often under-appreciated companion to the canals, the humble towpath. We uncover its vital importance in the past and how in, recent years, its relationship with the canal has been changing. We also meet up again with E. Temple Thurston and the good captain Eynsham Harry as the meet a figure of the forgotten past.

  14. Christmas is coming and everything seems to becoming increasingly frantic. So, why not steal away for a short while to join us on the NB Erica to enjoy the feeling of waiting for Christmas to arrive in its special way to the cut?

  15. Made it - just!! Managed to record a quick Summer Readings episode. At a time when many of us on the canals are feeling the strain of today’s network, it is good to be reminded of just how far we’ve come — and of the grit and vision of those who fought for the future of our waterways. Tonight we listen to Tom Rolt’s account of his journey up the Stratford (North) and the ‘battle for Bridge Number 1 (Lifford Lane).'
