    Interior painting?

    If ours were oak we wouldn't touch it, but sadly it's not. We are thinking of painting only some of it, so some will be natural wood. Thanks for the responses all.

    Interior painting?

    Does anyone have experience of painting the interior of their narrowboat, and if so what paint did you use? I'm struggling to make a decision on what to buy. It is currently marine ply so I will sand and prime.

    Repeat Prescriptions

    It's a problem, although I have found I can buy what I need in Spain even though they are prescription only. Depends what it is, and some pharmacies say no, others are fine. Getting them collected and posted out is probably the best option. Most marinas will take deliveries for you.

    Sail repairs Gibraltar area

    There is also Sam the sailmaker in Tarifa who I have heard is good. Can vouch for the Estepona chaps, Antonio and Danny, very helpful, did a fine job and collected and delivered back to La Linea. There is also a chap Alistair based in Alcaidesa Marina who I understand will undertake minor repairs.
