@WobblyBoater Worked for me. 🤪

[Narrowboat Dover @maines_steve]

@WobblyBoater The outflow from my water separator goes to a skin fitting and sea cock below the waterline. You get little tell tale bubbles of gas coming up showing that things are working.

@Scarcliffenick I wasn’t keen on going over the iron trunk when breasted up to Success. You’re a tad close to the edge. I was well tucked in to the cabin door I can tell you.

@CruisingTheCut It always used to amuse me that the Severn Sailing Club was based on the River Avon and the Avon Sailing Club on the Severn.

@nbminimallist @CrickShow I know that one from when we were there with Dover and the other historic boats.

[Narrowboat Dover @maines_steve]

@nbminimallist @CrickShow Well done, spotted you going past while we were away yesterday.

@CRTEastMidlands the elsan point at Stoke Bruerne bottom lock is currently blocked. Looks like the dreaded wet wipes. Could someone please come and unbung it.

[Butty Success @ButtySuccess]

My ellum got a bit close to the Armco today. Just enough to miss when the bow was touching the other bank. #boatsthattweet #grandunioncanal #buttyboat

Sunset over the boats.

@PK054 @CruisingTheCut The well deck is pretty much the same, although some of the MDF used does currently need replacing.

@WoodyBrewer2011 @I_am_Contented I know that one, the clonk of the tin hitting the engine hole roof as I’m inside starting her up, closely followed by the splosh as the can hits the water, they do go up quite a long way!

[Narrowboat Dover @maines_steve]

I made a new exhaust cover from an old plum tin, does anyone think there could be a market opportunity? #boatsthattweet #NBDover #GUCCCo #shinybrass

What an absolute pleasure to be welcomed aboard Narrowboat Dover (@maines_steve) and do a tour today; video will follow in a few weeks

[Narrowboat Dover @maines_steve]

@nb_amelie @CruisingTheCut Nearly, show was made in 2005.

[Narrowboat Dover @maines_steve]

@CruisingTheCut It was a pleasure to have you as a guest.

[Narrowboat Dover @maines_steve]

@NBArdea At least I’ve got my button on straight for a change. The picture reminds me, I must get around to polishing the portholes.
