Windermere Floods

[martynwhiteley]

Yes I remember paying top money for moorings in Lincoln.

I once notified them that a pallet had drifted in between a jetty and a Fairline Corniche (on sale by them), and the boat was constantly banging into the pallet at waterline height. Needless to say, the next weekend, it was still there doing the same.

My previous boat was broken into, and left with open covers, smashed door and smashed window. I only found out a week later through 'a friend of a friend' that they'd had a few breakins at the marina, so I went to check my boat. The marina hadn't even spotted the damage, asked me to see the police to increase the pressure for more surveylance, and offered no help in securing a replacement window, or even temporary tape/plastic to cover the hole.

They even tried to charge me for the following years fees, despite my written 'resignation'.

If the electrics are off, lets hope it does not get cold or there could be a few more insurance claims for blocks.

I am not sure how it works but Aquatic elec posts where all in 3ft of water but still working without a problem.

Hello, I wondered where you were - I was getting worried, theres a new thread on here about petrol/diesel conversion and you haven't posted on it.

Ship Inn cut off at the moment, having to make do with tinnies at home.

Called down at Naburn this morning, river looks like a lake, I think you could probably cruise across to my house.

It's too easy to join a post already entitled Petrol/Diesel !

My quest is to drift all threads to talk petrol to diesel conversions !!

Wow Martyn is it really that bad.

I was hoping to get there tomorrow to check it, but can I even get close.

Anyone lend me a boat, so I can get to my boat ?

I think you will be OK now, the river level is dropping fairly quickly.

I'm away to Windermere just to check things out.

It's on days like this I'm glad my boat is sat on the Trailer outside the back door.

BTW - Severn and Avon are both flooded - roads closed [sad]
