Not a lot of info but perhaps a lucky escape. Timely reminder to check our systems and CO monitors as the nights get colder.

It seems this may have had a sad ending. Thoughts with all if so.

Yes it did...one of the stalwarts of the club died. He was always there pottering about, he used to drive the boat lift upto a few years ago. One of the great guys who used to have time for everyone. A sad loss indeed.

Also on ybw news,
Desperately sad to think this could have been avoided for the sake of a CO alarm.

Having dropped my alarm in the galley sink a few weeks ago this coming to the fore has reminded me I must replace it NOW not when I can be bothered to get of my butt.

Amazon, will be here tomorrow, can only suggest others in need do the same, it just makes sense.
