    quote="Jupes"]The final picture looks like she is far too big and wide for the broads, bearing in mind the amount of traffic you are putting on them :naughty:

    Rather relieved that most of them stay ooop north :dance :dance :dance

    Fantastic thread, thanks Cliveinni.

    they are 12.5 feet wide.

    I am sure you would be ok with other boats on the river as there must be someone in your crew who can handle a boat :naughty:

    The dog is learning fast.... :naughty::naughty:

    or did you mean the shore power? dont worry, we dont supply leads :lol:

    That is so good to know, thank you Clive :grin::grin::lol::lol:

    Probably, completely wrong but they look like they would put furrows for seeds into the ground. It also looks to me like a man and a woman, rather than two men.

    Love this thread Carol, please keep going. Another who loved medieval history and pre-1900's and got completely turned off in later seniors.

    Thanks everyone.

    This weekend was a big relief for both of us. We had such a bad time with Jupiter on several occasions and, it nearly put us off completely. We started deliberating towards the end of last season as to which way to go. Whether to give up on the idea of seagoing and go for a broads cruiser or go slightly bigger and see what the difference was. Finally deciding to try bigger before giving up; this weekend has gone a long way to restore our confidence. Whereas, before we just couldn't get her to stay level and therefore spent too much time messing with the trims and legs, Sea Hunter just did what it says on the packet, as she should. Phew!!!!

    Jonny - sorry we were concentrating on steering rather than photographing. We hope someone will get a decent shot of us at Easter.

    ok guys, no comments about this post please :lol:

    Lou xx

    You expected no comments :lol::lol::lol: I love it :party:

    Adam and Suzanne's boat was HUGE. It had a cabin where the fly bridge is, a monster front cabin and side cabin and an even HUGER cellar type cabin underneath??, I kept waking round it saying "the one we looked at wasn't as big as this, must've have been because it was an older model?" over and over again. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    Lou xx

    HUGE :lol::lol::lol: ; just a fraction bigger...... OK enough to have cellar, patio and sun deck :lol::dance:dance

    I'd better place the lobster order then :liar , Leroy Bling, looks like the drinks are on you though :lol:

    cheerscheerscheers:liar:liar:liar

    We are really looking forward to it too, mostly for the spending the weekend with people we enjoy spending time with.

    If the weather is decent, maybe those men who received Cobbs for Christmas could test them out on Mark's Lobster??? :naughty::naughty:

    Ian and all hi!

    Sure, I will bring along my eos1d mk111 and take some snaps, but do you really want mark and I to be faffing around worrying about our aperture settings and ISO and shutter speeds at 28 knots??? Not least, as I will no doubt be helming from the 2nd floor and have not found my balance yet! :naughty:

    Adam...aka "leroy bling" and suzanne ("blingette") :pirate :pirate :pirate

    How dare you, no privileges or food for 7 days....... although I will continue to speak :naughty::naughty:two gunstwo gunstwo guns

    Although there isn't a pub onsite at Goodchilds, bear in mind that there is a pub just up the road and next door is the Kingfisher private park with a clubhouse, we have never used either but know people from the marina who do and like them. You also have a chinese takeaway and the holiday park across the road has a year round indoor pool, etc you can use. You are also only a 10 min drive from Tesco, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, B&Q, etc, etc.
