The generator works fine, cuts in straight away when there is a power cut, "never judge a book by it's cover".

No steering when you go backwards with a boat and the higher water pressure on the lower part of the prop means the boat turns in the direction the blades are rotating at the bottom. This effect is enhanced considerably when the prop comes into contact with the mud on the bottom.<br /><br />Spot on about the date, I thought someone would catch me out.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-14826802436896658492011-04-25T12:53:49.824+01:002011-04-25T12:53:49.824+01:00sorry should read 34 Aprilsorry should read 34 AprilDon Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099505939055955603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-65364733690326317792011-04-25T12:53:10.476+01:002011-04-25T12:53:10.476+01:00Michael first lets settle the date issue I dont th...Michael first lets settle the date issue I dont think your photos of the harbour weree taken on the 35 of Apri.I must say fro a laymans point of view the harbour looks decidedly unkempt. It is seriously silted up and I assume the vattenfall boat was trying to 'blow silt out to loosen it up' The whole harbour could do with a lick of paint and looking at the genorator I doubt it will ever start unexpectedly again. The beths in the outer harbour seen not to be used because of the silt problem? and the old museum building looks derelict. Just my observations from your walk I may be wrong of course and you have a lens that only shows derelict harbours.<br /><br />The shots at Quex were marvelous I love to see all the new flowers and the people enjoyomg themselves. and I thank you for your pictures I am still housebound and they are fantastic for me well done.Don Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099505939055955603noreply@blogger.com
