Mark, Hi Joined photobucket and am now going to try........... http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/johnr ... sort=3&o=1

Just a reminder about the Summer Meet. The booking system has changed because some of us left it very late to withdraw from the Spring Meet at OBYS and they had turned away other good customers. (We had taken up all the pontoon spaces with our booking). So in future we must individually contact OBYS or Beccles YS and reserve the mooring, effective now! (So get calling!). Here's the latest list: Names, Boat Name, Stern/Side, Leccy Y/N, Dates John & Mary-Jane, Friday Girl, Stern, Yes, Fri-Mon Adam, Suzanne & Lydia, Sea Hunter, Side, Yes, Fri/Sat minimum Mark & Sue, Secret Lady, Stern, Yes, Fri-Sun 3 Adults & 1 big Child, Happy Jax 3, Yes, Fri-Sun Mark & Jill, Fallen Angel, Stern, Yes, Sat-Sun Luke, Claire & James, Job Done, OSOTB, Fri-Sun Debs & David, Lollipop, Stern, Yes, Fri-Sun Peter & Elaine, Her Outdoors, OSOTB, Sat-Sun Gav & Annie, Escaped, Side, Yes, Fri-Mon, Dave & Diane, Escape, Stern, Yes, ?-? BY CAR Brian & Family

We have Kidde combined smoke and CO alarms at home and on-board. A very loud voice announces "Fire! Fire!" or "Warning Carbon Monoxide!". They're priced at £24-99 and I checked for CO by putting it in the car exhaust for a few seconds. If you burn the toast it will very quickly tell you about fire!

Paul, Hi. You're absolutely correct on that one! It is bitterly cold at night and you really do need some heat to get out of your bunk in the morning!

Dry and cold, wind easing. Bring it on!

A couple of spaces now as two boats have dropped out: Names, Boat Name, Days, Stern/Side, Leccy Yes/No John, Mary-Jane, Neil & Karen, Friday Girl, Thurs-Mon, Stern, Yes Col, Lou, Jay & Connor, Already there Mike & Jan, Serenity, Thurs- Sun, Stern, Yes Gav & Annie, Escape, Fri-Mon, Side, Yes Paul, Lorna, Sam & James, Peters Joy, Stern, Sat-Mon, Yes Luke & Claire, Job Done, Fri-Mon, Stern, Yes Richard, Amanda, Zoe & Laura, Jasperoo, Fri-Sun, Stern, Yes Heather, Ian & Rachel, Clandestine, Fri-Mon, Stern, Yes Mark & Sue, Secret Lady, Fri-Mon, Stern, Yes Mark & Jill, Fallen Angel, Fri-Mon, Stern, Yes Keith & Carole, Escape11, Fri-Mon, Stern, Yes Will, Jill & Emilia, Cornflake Girl, Fri-Sun, Stern, Yes Ian & Cristina, Strictly Business, Fri-Sun, Stern, Yes Adam & Suzanne, Sea Hunter, Already there.

OUCH! Along with quite a few other gov.-related enterprises!

Clive, Que?

Hear, Hear! And thanks for the post, Branden. We haven't been past Bishops' Bridge for a couple of years beacause of fearing what might wrap itself around the prop.

When would it ever go there, Clive?

And that's another thought, Mark..... we usually have between 150L - 200L in our tank and at today's cost you'd need about £200 - £300 to replace it............ What cost a filler cap and the surrounding deck area if the scrotes did attack with aforesaid mentioned bolster and lump? I'd think considerably more!

Truly wonderful, Paul........... I shall have to seriously consider that!

Now that's a topic to raise a few mutterings, Brian! I am informed that this one boat will double the BA's total fuel consumption (of all their other launches.....). And guess who will pay for that ?

That's a great idea, guys. We only carry 60 gallons of red when full but it would put a fair dent in our holidays budget if ours was nicked. We'll be near Sonny's soon and I'll get one then. I don't rally think I'll bother about water or waste... can't see even the scrotes bothering with those!

And a Very Warm Welcome to you, B50...... Do you have a name we can use?

Siddy, Hi. Can you tell me where you can get that folding step, please?

I should think that one will be operated solely by the BA!

Well done, Tony & Caz! We're just up the river from you at Bells and hope to be out and about before Easter.

Aren't they just, Brian? I've only now found time to watch them both and I'm very impressed! More like a commercial production than an amateur one! Bring on the next, please, Robin!

Just idyllic, Robin. You have a great ability to bring your reader exactly into your world.

Brill, Robin... Waiting for the next! Bet you,re glad it's not this week!

autoteach, Hi. It will also depend upon where you're hiring from... North or South? (And where you're planning to go...)

You're in luck, Andy! Simon & Sonia had to pull out and so we do have one space left! (And you're the only one who doesn't need Leccy... unless Brian's car needs a top-up!)

I should have said (and what I meant was): "Then we don't have a problem with the public's kids running into bar-b's"

Now that's a very good point, Dan. I've often wondered just how you might start a new 2-3 boat hire business with all the overheads you might incur.
