    Cruising with a dog

    So I'm planning on a cruise around N Europe next year. Taking the mutt shouldn't be a problem until I want to come home. My last port prior to returning to UK will be Iceland. Now, you can't bring a dog into UK on a private boat, it has to be with a scheduled carrier. However, I can get round...

    Greek Cruising Tax update from the CA

    Re: Tepai entry instructions So I paid online using the 20 digit reference number but 7 days later, 5 working days, the online form still says "payable" in Greek. Any idea how I chase this up?

    Greek Cruising Tax update from the CA

    Re: Tepai entry instructions I'm trying to set up payment with Lloyds. They are looking recipients bank address, recipient bank account name and recipient address! Any clues or have I missed something. IBAN is not enough.

    How to distinguish 304 stainless from 316 stainless?

    How are the steps attached to the stainless frame? Since it only appears to be affecting that one area I would suspect the bolt/screw is corroding and you are seeing the staining from that

    Bought a Chinese diesel heater, now tested...

    You'll need to throw out the jubilee clips and replace with decent ones. I'm using mine to frost protect my boat. Unfortunately the timer program only works for one cycle. You have to reschedule it every day.......!

    Memory foam or not - new bed mattresses

    Bought myself a new mattress last year. It has 2 or 3 inches of memory foam on the top. Really regret it. You lie on it and sure enough it sinks to conform to your body. Trouble is, when you roll over you have to roll out of this hole! I guess if you're sharing the bed you just roll in the hole.
