Fingers crossed for somebody to make something of it. The restaurant part had gone upmarket from what was there previously and getting a little bit pricy, maybe all to do with covid.

Last year a cafe had sprung up next to the restaurant, any body know if that is still going as it would meet my needs?

I hate throwing things away, so if anybody wants a battery damaged Garmin GPS76 CSX ( obviously not working) with I think 1 or 2 charts that may be useful as spares to somebody, here it is FOC

Not seen any comments for a bit, I really enjoy watching their videos and admire the skill and determination they both show. Now they have a second 'channel' with the GRP motor boat, even better.

Thanks very much for that, did this trip in late August and was late on the tide and finished up going aground. Entirely my own fault as we have done this trip a number of times over the years, so we spent the night (a Saturday) on Maplin sands which was very nice indeed. I did note that we were...

My wife has a theory that they do this on purpose to cheese us all off, until there is no point manning it, and or when it's damaged inoperable they don't have to man it. I'm not even shore what the purpose of the barrier is as small 14 footish boats can go around the barrier at will. I do...

I'm in Ramsgate at present and went to the local chandler for a 13kg propane bottle exchange. £65 is what they wanted. The price I've paid for the last 2 and price on Calor site is £45.50. He was sure of his price and told me they were on 25% margin. Fortunately I carry a spare, so it will keep...

I replaced a Jabsco raw water pump (different engine) with a Johnson years ago and it has been fine and comparable quality.

In the same situation I have reluctantly used clear, but been pleasantly surprized by how it does not stand out.

May be Brightlingsea?

I have done this trip quite a few times as it works well if you go out early as you can (I draw 2'6'') you can get into the Medway and punch the ebb to wherever or anchor in many of the creeks. Another favourite is to get round to Holehaven and pick up a buoy for the night or tide and then take...

Just for the record I sent my Rinnai heat exchanger which was blocked to Paloma Bob who sorted it for me and returned for £50 in less than a week.. The service was fantastic and included 2 progress reports (it was well and properly blocked) , highly recommend.

I have one of the above which needs the heat exchanger descaling, which I tried to do but made it worse. I know Paloma Bob offers an exchange (innards) at £150 + £15 postage. I am wondering what alternatives you guys have found as price wise it would be worth considering something new. Hamilton...

Never used this guy, but I would, just not in my area, but in yours in Boston, Lincs D H Crouch Marine LTD

Never experienced a Victron , but have bought a Sterling 20A, 30A, and 40A over the years all have proved capable and the last 2 mentioned had 3 outputs, so you can put Sterling on your list.
