You wanted to know more about Alvecote, so the marina, boatyard and The James Brindley pub are owned by Malcolm Burge, who has a particular interest in historic boats, encouraging the owners to moor there. South Midland boats are his too. He also owns the house and dry dock at Grendon.

I particularly loved the music this time, it felt floaty and autumnal. Your way of life on the boat, now boats, looks idyllic, but day to day you must be making plans for the next day, week, month, which can all change overnight due to weather conditions, work deadlines and so on. And boats need constant attention. It's not an easy lifestyle by any means. Stay warm. Hope you find a nice winter berth. Love, Nick.

Always enjoy watching your Vlog. For the rambler look into a dolphin tail it either clamps or bolts on the lower end of the motor and it’s supposed to help you in maneuvering. I pay Stan what they say the benefits are. BENEFITS 3x the Steering Control 2x the Turn Rate 3x the Effective Rudder Area Exceptional Tracking in Windy and Turbulent Conditions

It looks like Benny's getting Rambler tamed as much as possible - the lock entry was perfect - can't do much about strong wind - and is there an issue running in reverse then - spearing into the bank ? Gearing ? Alvecote Historic Boat Gathering ? & Pooley Hall ?

The outboard motor gear shift should have detents that you can feel for the shift positions and neutral. You have to adjust the linkage so that the middle position is neutral. If no detents are there you can mark neutral position and adjust the linkage to work from the neutral mark to get fwd and reverse.
