Left Fotheringhay yesterday morning in delightful sunshine, that didn't last overcast and windy most of the day. Back to Blackthorn today could have got there yesterday but CBA. If property is theft then maybe we should go and make use of the narrow boat that is on the K&A as the "owner" wont be able to use it until next year

What happens if you drop an anchor in the river and you are, say, three feet from the bank overnight? I expect riparian rights apply. Let's say Farmer Jones owns one bank, and Farmer Owens owns the other bank - and you anchor up in the middle for an overnight, in the knowledge that navigation is forbidden by the Middle Level Commissioners / EA so that you won't be disturbed, or be disturbing anyone else. Is that a free parking spot, or is it £2.50 to Owens and £2.50 to Jones? What if you tell them you have already put £5 directly into the donations box at the church? Will they go and look?

Do you think land ownership is right? Do you own your wooden hovel or do you rent?

I wonder if some auto hovering arrangement would negate the riparian rights rent charge. Combination of gps, bow and stern thrusters, maybe a couple of those schott?? drive pods and a PCB made by tellymatches. So you wouldn't be anchored. Free mooring!

I love Fotheringhay and that church is one of my favourites. Took son an a trip down memory lane all round that area when he had a diving job near Oundle. The Fox can spout as much as he likes but I don't see a problem with paying a £5 to moor in such a beautiful place.

Do you think land ownership is right? Do you own your wooden hovel or do you rent? The floor is concrete and steel, the structure is wood with bricks as an outside layer. The Witch is the landowner and the house & garden is 1,100m2. She also owns several areas of forest around Kaustinen. It's her house and I moved here because she wanted to continue working her last years before retirement here in this village - I don't own any part of her house, and it will go to her children when she dies. I pay half the 'joint' bills eg. electricity / water / car costs, and of course I help out with the heating by cutting down trees and turning them into logs for the stove. Pirkko could have moved to live with me in a nice part of Helsinki (at the end of the central park/forest with the River Vantaa passing close by - and not far from the airport), but we flipped a coin and it was me who got to move into the middle of nowhere. As a 'land owner' I own two graves in England, one in Finland, and at least nineteen in Aberdeenshire (as a direct living relative). Pirkko's siblings are planning on selling the forest they own soon. We used to collect firewood from it (by felling trees) but it's a bit far, and there are years and years of firewood waiting to be felled just up the road at Kannus bus garage (surrounded by its own forest which needs thinning).

I just like to wander round places but a hopeless sense of direction coupled with an inability to read maps and download apps sees me lost more than found....

I just like to wander round places but a hopeless sense of direction coupled with an inability to read maps and download apps sees me lost more than found.... Looking at the calendar / school hols and thinking about things (and there's a wedding on 10th Oct) it looks like it's best to delay nipping over to the boat until Christmas when there are 2.5 weeks holidays and a quarantine (from Covid-19 infested England!) can be absorbed into the last week with just 7 days off work - and who wants to go to work when it's minus 30 Centigrade in January? Staying at home then could be just the ticket! I asked the Witch if she had any ideas where she might like to go and she said how about the Åland islands / 'Archipelago Route'? The AR is an inner version but a long link in the middle is broken after September - you can do the southern bit, and go round to do the northern bit (both include a number of free ferries), but I think it would be more adventurous to take the longer ferries to Ahvenanmaa (the mainland). There are ferries for a northern route (via Brändö) and for a southern route (via Overö). The ferry timetables are a bit complicated, but I have worked out one way to go round. Not a bad idea - car camping. And not too far from home - and can probably get away with Summer tyres in October (mid-October 2013 it was minus 7 Centigrade in southern Finland but no snow on the main roads) - and can visit our kids at the same time afterwards (or before). This sort of thing:

Ha! So you are sponging off a property owning witch. How long ago was the land stolen from the hard working Finns?

I am not at all at ease with the city name referred to above.
As far as I'm concerned while transferring my migrants from Sangatte to the beach at Deal if I hear the words "Hell-Sinki!" I become concerned, check the bilge levels and get my jet pack ready.
This is the problem with Africans who know about Christianity but are schooled in Russian oil company schools. They get their lingo all confused up.
I blame Qadaffi and the 'merkins.

Ha! So you are sponging off a property owning witch. How long ago was the land stolen from the hard working Finns? Not really sponging - I could have carried on as I was in Helsinki. The house is hers, as it was, I have helped make improvements - garden work, wood cages, boat house (now full of firewood as boat sold), and have invested a lot of my own money in our canal boat. It was Pirkko who got interested in the canals... which led to my idea of getting a boat when we had both retired. The boat we have came about by a peculiar series of events - it came "10 years too early" - I think it found us rather than the other way around. If I die before Pirkko, well, then she'll have to throw all my building stone samples out of the garage. If she dies before me, I shall have to come and live with you, Jim. You like migrants, so I'm sure you'll make up the spare bed for me

See Eurocarparts, the Indian and the wholesale deleting of many hundreds of posts with the threat of an arse kicking by Proboards. 1. I thought it was generally recognised by everyone else, including yourself, that once Europarts had been taken over by an Indian, the quality fell through the floor. 2. Kicking by Proboards? Err... no... no warnings from Proboards... it was Delta who thought I had gone dangerously close to the edge after reporting what was in every newspaper around the world, exposing 'charities' abusing their status. As (allegedly) with the World Health Organisation in today's News: "It is not just WHO, it is UN charities as well. They seem to regard demanding sex for aid as one of the perks of the job..." "50 women accuse WHO aid workers of forcing them to have sex in exchange for work during Congo ebola outbreak" "UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for the allegations to be 'investigated fully'." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8786391/More-50-women-accuse-aid-workers-sexual-abuse-Congo-Ebola-crisis.html#comments In your opinion, Gazza, should things like this - abuse of the poor and needy - be hushed up?

My recollection was that you were rounded upon by the vast majority of active posters for your stupidity - history has a habit of repeating itself.

I do not think I have made 'hundreds upon hundreds' of posts that have 'endangered the forum'. Yes, I like to be tidy, and sometimes run through my posts and delete those I consider of no value - I keep those I think have a point to them, or some unusual humour. Why keep loads of old comments? Interesting to run through them once again... but... I can't see anyone reading comments on a boating forum made ages ago, unless they concern boating as regards technical issues / general boating advice. A lot of my posts have images attached and I like to have a clean out of my image storage now & then - and that means posts become irrelevant without the attached picture.
Yes, you are right in that it was 'Crossland' filters and not 'Eurocarparts'.
But there was no 'kicking by Proboards' - in that you are wrong. "Vast majority of active posters" - by that I can think of two, both fairly inactive these days.

Never get old facts that have been aired in public and sorted out in court or wherever get in the way of a good cut and paste rant. Should we tar all bus drivers with the same brush we use on the naughtiest rascal amongst them? A yes or no answer will do, anything else, inane twaddle, and you are guilty.
