Cheers Alan. This afternoon, I believe the water is only a foot over quayside, but there's soooooo much more water wending down into the River from surrounding area. All fields are totally saturated in the area but so far, minimal flooding thankfully. Yesterday I also pumped 14,000 litres out of the engine room and a further 1,500 lts out of the rearmost of five tanks. They both readily let rainwater in, so I really need to address that ASAP
That seems to be rather a lot of water to be INSIDE the boat. :eek:

It is a lot, but everything is relative. She used to carry 250 tonnes of oil in her day, so it's not an awful lot by comparison. When I get the wheelhouse on, the rainwater will be harvested properly, rather than end up in her bowels.

It's worthy to note that the volumes I quoted assume that the submersible pump I used actually pumped at 390lts per minute it is rated at. It certainly impressed passers by when they saw it cascading into the River!
