It's like learning a foreign language!
Words such as:- Sacrificial anodes. Galvanic isolator. Bilges. Blacking Bow thruster. Cratch. Black water. Winding hole. Gongoozler. Butty.
And descriptions like this. Anser Pins = Steel pins attached, immediately before the stern counter to either or both gunwales of motors and butties to which straps from the stern dollies or studs of both boats can be tightly hooked or shackled when breasting-up, not only keeping the sterns together but also acting as springs and stopping the pair from riding forwards and backwards against each other.
Scrimping and saving, ranting and raving. Past retirement age.

Congratulations! I can't wait to read about your new adventures. The beginning of your blog post seemed like it needed translating lol - couldn't understand a word.
I've heard of butty, a little boat isn't it, so you can get to a larger boat? One you tow behind the bigger boat? Or perhaps I'm wrong.
