Red diesel and fresh water in dartmouth?

Reminds me of the time my outboard ran out of gas in Dartmouth! I parked it on the left of the river, up stream, outside a sort of private jetty/pontoon/ and I think some kind of bar/hotel. And caught a taxi to petrol station! It seemed quite a long way at the time.
 
I don't know the latest on the fuel barge - we understood it was to be reinstated around end-March but, under current circumstances, that's obviously not happened. We've been buying diesel (for heating) from the Sainsbury's petrol station, which is pay-at-pump.

Fresh water is available on the town jetty, where a spot just south of 'Provident' - intentionally kept free for emergencies/very short term mooring - is usually available to come alongside for a few minutes. We usually seek permission from DartNav before we motor over: the jetty is used through the winter by several liveaboards and there may be a range of factors influencing DartNav's decision to make this available.
 
I have only once filled up in Dartmouth, from the fuel barge. One thing I remember about it was that they were justly paranoid about spillages. I think it was along the lines that I would be banned for Dartmouth for life if so much as a drop was spilled.

I regret I have sold TG on the account of raging arthritis. I am sure the new owners would be pleased to know she is fine given that they are locked down miles and miles away.

I must thank you profusely for reminding me of the rules and on the basis thereof i have revised my earlier position and claim a Full Lakesailor on the grounds that i was indeed Lakesailored per rule 4 and the OP then acknowledged the Lakesailoring post with a like

I shall temporarily bask in the resulting warm satisfying glow whilst looking forward with great anticipation towards the obligatory 27 pages of discussion that historical precedent suggests any claim of a Lakesailor, let alone a Full Lakesailor, inevitably leads to

Ah, the good old days eh? :D

“Likes”, or similar mechanisms, are not in the rules, and more importantly, are not an explicit “thanks” so therefore you cannot qualify for a full Lakesailor.

Sorry.

I would argue that a like is an acknowledgement and by name is implicit in the act of liking the specific post

Your ball sir

:D
