Hello everyone, I joined in mid December and should have introduced myself before this!

My better half, Gill and I retired last year and moved to Norfolk which has always felt like our spiritual home. Our first holiday as a married couple was on a boat called Conquest from Stalham Yacht Services, getting on for 40 years ago and so began our love affair with Norfolk in general and the Broads in particular.

After a false start due to inexperience having bought a boat that didn't suit us we now are the proud owners of a Hampton Safari Mk3 which we love and suits us perfectly. We took ownership just before Christmas, having our first short cruise out on the 23rd December, lunch in a nice pub and home. Best Christmas present ever.

Members here have already been generous with advice and I look forward to quietly fitting in with such a great group.

Welcome Ray,where is your boat moored?

[Ray]

Thank you all :)

Ian, we are at Potter in Herbert Woods marina. The guys there really helped us out when we had our 'false start' and it's only 15 or 20 minutes drive from home. It's almost like mooring in the back garden :)

Yes. Roomy and space efficient, incredibly stable, easy to handle (except reversing maybe lol), over 6ft headroom and built to last,  can you tell I'm a fan

Me too.. 4 weeks and I'm hooked, as soon as I got aboard it was love at first cruise. 

Nothing beats being "on Safari" :)

       i had a safari for 10 years,  lovely boat and perfect for two people

That's what we thought, we will have friends and family aboard of course but we live near enough the mooring for them to stay with us at home and go on day cruises, only Gill and I will be overnighting aboard.
