Not moving does cause problems as we are dependent on electricity for our lights, water supply (pump from tank), loo (electric flush), radio, fridge and recharging the laptop and mobile phones. This electricity is supplied by 4 large batteries which are recharged by the engine.
To keep the batteries fully charged we really need to run the engine for about 3 hours each day. The engine also heats our hot water tank. So if we dont move we need to turn the engine on and run it in neutral for a while. Which is what is happening at the moment.
Back from boat practicalities, we have just booked to see the latest Star Trek this evening at the Manchester IMAX cinema.
Weather forecast is just as bad for tomorrow, so I guess we will have yet another day in Manchester.
By special request here is a picture of the inside of the boat, it shows the cooking and main seating areas (click picture to show full screen)...
