Re: Boatwarming @ Murray Bridge
It looks very inviting as a live aboard for the summer mths and even anytime through out the yr as long as it wasn't too cold. A trip to Qld via the rivers would be an interesting trip Is it possible?
It will be interesting to have a second look through the photo album when it has the description tags attached. I do love the 240vac power lead plugged in beside the solar regulator, any bets on how long it takes Peter to pick up on that one
That regulator will stop the batteries from going flat, but it won't fully charge them unless it has a couple of weeks without the batteries being used to do it. It only has a single voltage setting and that is float voltage, but better than nothing at the moment.
The battery arrangement is interesting, are they spread out throughout the vessel for stability
Just as soon as that rich uncle I don't know about leaves all his money to me I might look at one of them for myself, well both of us, an ultra light with pods on it towed along behind for a look around the country side....... If I don't know about this rich uncle, how will he know to leave all his money to me????

Only problem was all the boats are tied up like a CP jail.

Just until you untie the ropes or should I say "cast off"

No ropes on a houseboat, unless you have a ships bell Bruce, now that you have joined the ranks of the nautical types, you have to get with the program, no left and right sides anymore, no front and back

Yep, no front and back. It's the pointy end and the blunt end. . You might be in trouble with the pointy end.

Just blue on the water up here Apparantly the use of red ones is against the Internation Regs for the prevention of collisions at sea
