Contented Souls: February 2013
http://contentedsouls.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
The adventures of the Crew living on Narrowboat Matilda Rose. Sunday, 10 February 2013. You may not immediately spot anything unusual about this photo of Bottisham lock but, from where we are moored, it's about 30 minutes into a one hour walk and G is with me! Despite virtually no rain recently, there's still plenty of water hurling down through the sluices. This lovely old wooden boat, 'Jester' is moored at the Cam Conservator's depot, I wonder where her destiny now lies. Where we met and played with th...

Contented Souls: April 2014
http://contentedsouls.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
The adventures of the Crew living on Narrowboat Matilda Rose. Sunday, 20 April 2014. We have moved to Belgium and our Blog has moved too. Should you wish to follow our antics in Europe then you can find us at www.contentedsouls.com. Links to this post. Thursday, 10 April 2014. Whilst some of us are getting stressed. I must add that I took these photos around 12.00 today - lazy tykes. Daisy eventually stood up when a boat charged passed us. It was a bit of an effort. Links to this post. And a bit of a sca...

Widebeam Boat Build Blog: July 2013
http://boatbuildblog.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Widebeam Boat Build Blog. We wanted a widebeam but didn't fancy the price tag. Here's how i did it. Friday, 26 July 2013. As I went up the stairs the other day I was hit by a waft of heat coming from the back of the fridge which is a built in one. When I felt the element on the rear of the fridge I was shocked by just how hot it was. Out came my trusty digital thermometer and showed 65c! Friday, July 26, 2013. Links to this post. Wednesday, 3 July 2013. Which is not ideal for a diesel and is only. All on...

Widebeam Boat Build Blog: May 2013

Widebeam Boat Build Blog. We wanted a widebeam but didn't fancy the price tag. Here's how i did it. Monday, 27 May 2013. To finish the alternator modification I have added to the house battery system an advanced alternator regulator made by Sterling Power Products. I chose the ProD model. Unit on the right. The left is the MPPT. The first thing to do was to connect 2 wires to the inside of the alternator. Only one of these wires is used but it need to be determined which. This explains what they do.

Widebeam Boat Build Blog. We wanted a widebeam but didn't fancy the price tag. Here's how i did it. Saturday, 22 June 2013. Sneak Preview Of Current Project. This is what I'm up to at the moment. Seats and storage boxes for the rear deck. Saturday, June 22, 2013. Links to this post. Saturday, 15 June 2013. I decided the replacement would be a Hurricane SCH25. As it has more function and control. 20 plate 44kw heat exchanger. Once the engine water has reached 70c this aquastat switches on the circulation ...

Contented Souls: Mouzay
http://contentedsouls.blogspot.com/2014/08/mouzay.html
The adventures of the Crew living on Narrowboat Matilda Rose. Friday, 8 August 2014. We loved it outside the sleepy village of Mouzay and ended up staying for a week. Unfortunately, we haven’t had an internet signal since we left there so I’m now giving the blog a bash on the ‘Live Writer’ for the first time. Trouble is, without getting on-line, I don’t know where/when the last post I published was. An unusual centrepiece in the middle of a roundabout en route. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We had ...

Contented Souls: March 2014
http://contentedsouls.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
The adventures of the Crew living on Narrowboat Matilda Rose. Sunday, 30 March 2014. In search of Tring Brewery and a bit of 'Timothy West' style boat handling. With the carrot of not just a pub but a whole brewery, G accompanied the dogs and I up over the hill into Tring. This, however, is where it used to be (the Herbies had advised us to get the 500 bus from Cow Roast) and it's now another 1/2 mile or so out t'other side of Tring town centre. Honey I shrunk the dogs. I politely declined any further li...

The adventures of the Crew living on Narrowboat Matilda Rose. Sunday, 19 May 2013. The hottest bed on MR. This bed belongs to Baxter but either he (or it) seems to be massively popular with everyone else.Muttley is always trying to squeeze on beside him. All visitors seem to make a beeline for him and Meg is not beyond pinching her share. Then, when the family come visiting young Tylan goes wherever Baxter goes. My poor long suffering dog - Tylan adores him. After a cuppa and feet up for an hour, Sue and...
