Dang, my currency, Alcohol and Chocolate. I am at Boat Show.

Hope you find someone to give you some clues and a safe delivery.

 

[Sniper]

Sorry. I too am away. Good luck with the maiden voyage.

Can't imagine you'll be short of takers but, if nobody else more local steps up to the plate, you might be able to twist my arm - always loved Pin Mill!

I assume it has a reliable engine?

 

[Leighb]

Hi, I may well be available, I live just up the lane from King's yard. What sort of time were you thinking? Have you a VHF, useful/necessary to contact the lock?

HW Harwich is 13-40 so Ipswich is 14-00 ish, when there might be freeflow which makes things a bit easier.

Why O why does every boat have to call the lockie.
It doesnt happen in Holland, just watch for the traffic lights

 

[Leighb]

I guess you don't have to, they won't shoot you if you just turn up, it just oils the wheels.

I suggest you don't try that at Shotley, you won't get in.

I shudder to ask, but what is a 'sca' and do I need one?

 

[benw]

I believe it means scan ie channels entered into a VHF to be scanned for radio activity.
I am glad to see it is not just me that has the scourge of the predictive text!
