Porto. I was only joking

And whats wrong with a tent, camping stove and sleeping bags on the back of the swim platform??

You grow out of it .........agree nothing wrong nobody’s saying there is with roughing it .

A family of 4 with 2 pre teen kids and their dog is always roughing it on a 34 foot boat. That's half the adventure. What I was driving at is we do not do without.

My response wasn't though and I can proudly claim not once did I ever have to share my boat with the inlaws. Not once mind.

There you go Scala. SHE needs a hair dryer. Problem solved. That's her purse not yours.

Probably not at anchor. She does like a cup of tea though. Also the cockpit BBQ ... could be the golden ticket.

 

[BruceK]

We BBQ the old fashion way. That's Roy in the background. You can almost hear his genny taking strain running the polisher, three fridges and a hairdryer in tandem

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Presume that's the "Welsh Med" again? Where is it (I'm assuming nowhere near Sardinia)...?

 

[BruceK]

Of course. Porthdinllaen home of the famous Ty Coch beach pub. Where else?

Porthdinllaen

As you say - the Welsh Med! looks fab.

That's plan A!

that just reminds me the the Genny is that quiet , I have had to fit a unit to switch it off by text, and his gas stove is to back up is barbecue, as it always fails. Electric barby the way forward ,

I dont run gas Roy. Origo. I would never trust gas and small kids on the same boat.

Also when he puts his Chakalka and Pap on the barbie it stinks , hence the deserted beach.

Your genny makes such a racket underwater it makes my hull reverberate. Sounds like a sewer outlet when the waves rush in. However I shall take you up on your offer to show me how splendid your leccy barbie is and how cold your fridges are

 

[Seastoke]

And we never stay on our berth. We board, we leave and dont come back till it's time to come home a couple days later. Getting a genny for the odd night that's going to happen I'm guessing a handful of days a year is going to require deep pockets after just buying the boat if you are perfectly normal and consumed the budget then some.
I'll let you in on a dirty little secret. Admiral sneaks a small portable single ring butane stove onboard powered by a 500ml sized disposable butane cannister. That will last many days of kettle boiling and goes in the cupboard when not in use. Quicker than electric too. I dont like it but keep quiet to keep the peace

Terribly uncivilised but it works a treat while you gather funds for that genny

get the gas cannisters from home bargains. They last a lot longer than camping gaz at a fraction of the price

Roy I don’t use gas on board.

says you and your raw chicken and burnt burger patties

Whereas not only do we do proper barbies we do pizza too

as for gas onboard - it's disconnected and stowed away. No kiddie fingers to play with it. I have enough problems with them leaving 20 of my 120 lights on at any one time

But the beer is kept at 6.9 c constant by the genny.

I'm used to gas on boats having had it on every yacht I've owned, borrowed, charted, crewed, blagged or whatever, so far. So I'm OK with doing gas safely, but I'd not choose to have it. I've also got one of these little stoves so that's OK for a quick cuppa.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Yes I know Toby, he did the leccy WC conversion on the yacht, and installed the Webasto heating on both my boats. Plus some other bits. I'll go see him on Friday if I get a chance.

EDIT I gave in, I've emailed him.

And he's replied. About £8k all in. One for next year not that I'm surprised.

Actually that is good value. Better than an electric Jag?

Better pix tomorrow but here's one to be going on with.... Not my fenders and before it was cleaned and prepped.
