[deborahann]

so you don't want to visit a boat with a washing machine ?? what a shame, & U having to carry round all your dirty washing till you get home, must get smelly on MF, maybe thats the reason for the name ???

[hlb]

Mucky far to fast to get eerr! mucky smells, leaves them far behind. Expect thats why Banana boats need washing machines. Need a fresh set of clothes before arriving back in habitation. Bet you need to carry yer own pub around as well.../forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

When I was at school , I had friends who owned pets. JIan had a dog called Lindy, Fred a rat and Dan had a hamster. We called him him Hague cos he was so vague.

[deborahann]

plenty of room on my boat for a bar & drinks, with a lovely smelling interior. but then i have narrow side decks, being only barely wide beam at 10' 6"

<hr width=100% size=1>deborah on delph !

 

[hlb]

Ah but. Narrow decks are quite ok for boats not ploshing around much. Must admit that the heavily flaired bows of MF are not conducive to large double bed in fore cabin. Barge with more rounded bow does leave for more scope in that direction. Ever thought of looking at a fly bridge option for the sunshine??

[deborahann]

I've got a flying bridge, if i take my wheelhouse down then its all open air !!! & i can see all around me to drive. you actually sound quite contained with your flared decks problem, obviously impacts on your sleeping arrangements. sounds like you shouldn't have such flared decks.

<hr width=100% size=1>deborah on delph !

 

[hlb]

It's not the decks that flaired. Thats as flat as a pancake. It's the bloody sides, need to be all sleek and curvey. just like a good woman.../forums/images/icons/laugh.gif All I was saying was, I'll bet theres more room in your bed than mine.

[hlb]

Thought I'd better take a closer look into this. It looked a bit fishy to jimi and me.

Well it looks real enough to me anyway. I must have been dreaming last night.../forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Hlb's flare problem is his trousers, (a bit retro if you know what I mean)!!! /forums/images/icons/wink.gif
