Broad Ambition - Underway on the H2O

[BroadAmbition]

Now when underway 'B.A' has very little stern wave. Tow a loaded dinghy and put the go stick fwd and this happens - not impressive

Now at Bridge Broad. Both mud weights down all fishing. Andy river inspector came cruising past. I told him all my lot didn't have fishing licenses and could he arrest them. He replied he would be more likely to arrest me for indecent exposure as I have no shirt/top on. Some folk have no respect

Wooden boats hey, who'd have one ?

 

Only people who need their head examined! What's up with yours? 

Doug has just ordered the larch and oak for Brilliant. 

[Victoryv]

Head or boat ? arguably more wrong in the head, as no matter what work needed I would still have a wooden boat !

[Polly]

Brilliant has frame/rib trouble but being a woodie, is fixable.

 

[BroadAmbition]

Here at kings Head. Blazing sunshine, small breeze, had FCE onboard. Now DTS and fishing. Perfect

While you're enjoying the Norfolk sunshine Griff, I'm sitting in sunny Yorkshire. Staying on the coast at Reighton Sands and visiting family in the area. :)

[BroadAmbition]

Reighton Sands? Wow, there's a name from the past. Dad used to have a caravan there 

Griff

[SwanR]

Beautiful stretch of coastline. And yes, we're in a caravan! 

[Siddy]

We have family at Hunmanby just up from you on the coast, Last time I was their my uncle took me down there across the field to Reighton with his dog. So ok we walk back NO were stood on top of the cliff and he said we jump down keep your feet together and off he went so I followed. Well i'm still here it was a laugh but the steps to get back up at Hunmanby are still a killer.

I never did understand what DTS stood for (Drink something?), still less FCE and I always did dislike abbreviations but even so I get the gist and the photo speaks for you. 

[Polly]

DTS, drink to saturation? FCE Full cooked English (breakfast)? ...any other suggestions?

 

Drink to senselessness? Fully cremated eggs?

[Broads01]

Ah, get it now, perhaps I'm just too young to understand... 

[Wyndham]

I always thought DTS was Dinner Time Session, but Drinking Talking Sh1t seems more likely.

FCE... No idea

[grendel]

FCE- Flippin Cauliflower Enema?

[BroadAmbition]

You are there or thereabouts, DTS = Dinner Time Sess   FCE = Full Cooked English 

Griff

[Polly]

Nonono  DTS = Drinking 'til  Squiffyeyed. I bumped into you guys at Ranworth once during Lads Week,  DEFINTELY 'Squiffeyeyed' 

 

[BroadAmbition]

Another cracking morning afloat. Sunny warm with gentle breeze. Sailed from Acle at 0800 enroute to Ranworth via Womack. It's just spot on

Griff

[BroadAmbition]

Whilst mud weighted on the Bure in a bay on the river but out of the way of the river traffic (fishing) one crew member stated 'it's a boat per minute passing us here'. Then Steve G (one of the Lads Week Crew) came out with a belter. He was watching a large yacht with sails stowed motoring down river

'See that's the way to sail, get the motor running, none of that side to side bo££ox'

There really was no arguing with a statement like that one 

Griff

[BroadAmbition]

Now at Ranworth Staithe, tackling down gear, swift one in the Maltsters before sailing for home berth  Wx is still on our side

Griff

[Springsong]

Sat on Irstead Staithe on Sunday 4pm ish but you did not appear so that is the reason why.

Still I had a good catch up with Jed.

[BroadAmbition]

We called in at LBBy for the usual pump out etc, then meandered back up the Ant with crew to cleaning stations.  We arrived back in the wet-shed late afternoon.  I was on the road home at 1700.  All crew members agreed it had been a very good six days afloat, the wx was just perfect.  The fishing? - Well we caught but not as much as we hoped, and we didn't make it above PHB either.  Now of course the crew want to make this a yearly event, just the sort of statement that gets me into trouble with MrsG.  We will see

Griff

[BroadAmbition]

Well Chuffin eck, it's a good job Tigers can swim!  Just ridden through a mega thunderstorm on the Norwich bypass it's now hailstorm so we have stoped at The Bridge inn - rude no too. Oh and I have a leak in my gortex waterproof bike jacket, which is a first, the joys

Griff

[Polly]

If you just came through the storm on the Bypass, and then went to the Bridge, you jevidently got lost on the way from Stalham to Donny.

[BroadAmbition]

We were riding from Donny TO Stalham. Now onboard cruising down the Ant approaching Wayford turn off
