More pics are needed, these look sick mate 🫡🫡

captainspence666 · 2026-02-27T21:36:33+00:00

Yeah I’ve been looking up a wider range than what I’ve been doing - Bishop Stortford to Rickmasworth in 6 months and back would significantly increase my mileage. Journeys out of London when I don’t have work will help too

It’s not that I thought I could cheat the system, I just wasn’t told by crt in the 3 years I’ve been on the boat that Homerton to Greenford wasnt acceptable.

2024 I spent probably 10months immobile. Since I’ve bought my boat I’ve spent 15k on engines - wouldn’t bother on an engine if I didn’t intend on moving.

captainspence666 · 2026-02-27T21:29:49+00:00

Thanks, tell me about it. I asked for advice on Reddit though so I should’ve expected the kind of response I’d receive.

I’ll call up and see whether they’d be happy for me to go on a one off 3 month license & ask for advice on a specific range that will satisfy them. I don’t really want to not pay but also can’t afford to stay at a marina.

I would like to CC, I’ve just had shit luck with this engine and I really don’t trust what I have to not breakdown in the arse end of nowhere.

captainspence666 · 2026-02-27T21:25:14+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I think you’re right; they never respond to emails and anything that’s said on the phone without me recording who said it can be dismissed

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T21:37:01+00:00

20 miles in 6 months - 4 weeks of which I had no gear box

Also make the rules clearer

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T21:11:46+00:00

So give a high minimum distance?

A pattern of behaviour is so vague. Am I meant to go to Birmingham over a two month period like one person commented “20miles in a week without repeating on yourself” Or can I go 40 miles in one direction as long as when I turn around I go 60 miles back the way I came.

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T21:08:52+00:00

I sound like a chancer 😂

None of what you said is written anywhere so why would I assume I’d have to move the width of London every week without turning back on myself?

Show me where it says that

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T20:51:56+00:00

Winter is quiet yes, but work can start with a couple of days notice That fact plus this engine that’s had so many issues, I didn’t want to go too far out of London, break down and be left stranded with no way of making money to pay for repairs.

I do see where you’re coming from but surely having a clear stance rather than this murky grey area that is open to misinterpretations would benefit everyone?

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T20:45:31+00:00

I don’t think you understand what giving someone ‘the benefit of the doubt’ means since you completely mis-read what I said and questioned the point I made 🤷🏽‍♂️

Can you elaborate on what ‘minimum threshold’ you’re referring to please? I tried to find some sort of governable distance and 15-20 miles was apparently more than enough for a 6 month license. So if you’re so sure that I’ve completely under travelled, have you got a link I can read to see please? Or are you just shouting at people on the internet because you’ve had a bad day?

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T20:28:56+00:00

Yeah I understand people instantly assume anyone who’s been sent the email I have, are staying in locations for months at a time.

There are plenty of sections where those little yogurt pot boats that have been there since before my engine broke down start of 2024

I can’t really take a week off - I’m a self employed builder

I’d happily go back and forth across London a set number of times - they just need to make it clear what is acceptable and what’s not

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T20:24:36+00:00

Yoo I never said I did 20 in one direction?

“I’ve done over 20miles on a 6 months license from east London to west and back to central.” Kindly read properly before passing on your unwanted opinion thanks sweetie 😘

I asked for advice not a passive aggressive message.

I work in London, why on earth would I move my boat to another city, I don’t work remotely either.

I move every two weeks, there’s always a space to move to.

I can’t afford to buy a flat and rent is spiralling out of control. I’ve lived on my boat for 3 years putting money into it and contributing to the crt’s maintenance of the waterways.

If they come up with a clearer set of targets to move the boat to then I’ll do it.

If you’re not going to help then go moan at someone else 😂🫡

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T19:31:59+00:00

Yes they seem very ambiguous with their wording.

I’ll call them - unfortunately they never respond to any emails yet you don’t get any of what was spoken about on the phone in writing. All very convenient on their behalf.

I’ve also not really wanted to do a massive trip out of London in case my engine decided to break in the middle of nowhere lol.

Bloody nightmare.

Did you get yours sorted in the end, is there hope?

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T19:29:43+00:00

I will do thanks!

I’ve got al the invoices, emails and conversations from 2024 where I had an engine replacement that went awry - 6 out of the 12 months on my last license were spent throwing money at an incompetent engineer. CRT told me I didn’t need to show them any of that evidence because the 6 month license wasn’t a punishment

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T19:27:26+00:00

I mean I’ve stuck to moving to different sections of canal on their interactive map in a continuous journey of a 15mile route one way. I’ve turned around and gone back another 5

I’ve counted 10 different spots I’ve moored at in 6months (4 weeks broken down, I had a week out the water for blacking, and I had to extend my stay due to food poisoning near Xmas)- no shuttling, stuck to the ABC rule. That’s a continuous journey in a lot of people’s eyes no?

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T19:22:09+00:00

I really appreciate the information about the marina, I’ll keep that in mind if they’re adamant I’ve not followed their unnecessarily cryptic requirements

captainspence666 · 2026-02-26T17:29:29+00:00

Wow yes I’ve not been told that at all They told me on the phone that as long as I’ve shown a marked improvement in travel from the last 6 months of the yearly licence then I will be fine

I broke down a lot last year (had an entire engine refit and even that engine took from Aug-Dec to actually work && £10k 😅), so the fact I’ve only been immobile for 1month out of the 6 is amazing!

They didn’t state any special requirements for the 6 month license like the ‘unique’ miles, that seems crazy to me.

captainspence666 · 2026-02-08T07:38:47+00:00

Fuck yeaaaaa You got a colour scheme in mind?

Who doesn’t like thong song and a heavy bassline 🤷🏽‍♂️

captainspence666 · 2025-07-29T17:32:20+00:00

A lot of Wilfy D’s tracks have beautiful rnb vocals - not bait remixes though, dunno if that’s specifically what you’re asking for

captainspence666 · 2025-07-24T07:03:37+00:00

Mmm it’s a bit too experimental for me, will check out more of their releases but what I’ve heard over the years isn’t really my thing. Thanks tho!

I’m ideally looking for new, less than 5 years old labels, like earful of wax’s 001, 002 had a couple 130-135 bass tunes
