1. Barbecue information. A 10" x 12" disposable BBQ will cook 6 sausages, 3 chops, 3

giant burgers, 3 pre-cooked potatoes and still have oomph left to do any amount of waffles!

The folding windbreak stowed under Nimue's aft starboard floor has been removed.

2. Before starting the engine, make sure that the weed trap is full of water.

3. Never change the battery switch when the engine is running. Why would you do

this? Well, if you’ve moored, turned the engine and then battery off, you may decide that you

want the fridge or the radio back on. So, to ensure that you don’t accidentally flatten all the

batteries, you might smugly turn the battery to the ‘1’ or ‘2’ position.

After a while, you decide to depart and so you start the engine and you’ll motor away. At this

point, you remember that you’re running on 1 battery. Don’t switch back to ‘All’ yet! The

other batteries can’t come to any harm and switching across while under full load may

damage the charging circuitry

4. To unmoor when the wind is blowing you back to shore. Manhandle Nimue so that

the stern is pointing into wind, push off and reverse right across the river before turning back.

Caution: Do not attempt to go out forwards - always reverse out!
