Smokesmate, Hi Up beyond Potter on Hickling Broad. http://www.norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk/hickling.aspx

Here's the latest update John & Mary-Jane, Friday Girl, Stern, Yes Gav & Annie, Escape, Side, Yes Tracy, Wayne, Kristie, Katakalousse Side, Yes Ric, Donna & Lilly, Tic Toc, Side, Yes Ian, Heather, Rachel and Tom, Senator, Stern, Yes Barry & Olive, Tot Tyme, Stern, Yes David & Rachel, (Antares9), Cab Pat and Trace, (Seaboater), Car Twenty already... roll up and get your names down!

This wouldn't have happened in my younger days... birching and hanging were a wonderful deterrent...

Coldham Hall have their latest menu online at: http://www.coldhamhalltavern.co.uk/wine-and-dine.html I suggest that people pre-order perhaps up to a week before we go but if any other ideas are forthcoming (like a buffet) I shall be happy to co-ordinate!

Well that is outright extortionate! People take note!

And am I correct that you used the tides to your advantage, Dan? And if you'd topped up at Goodchilds (£1.05/litre) on the way back from Beccles you'd probably have had more!

With 300m of ship under me, Rod, I'd let him worry about where he was!

He's lucky he didn't get a bow-warning!

No use calling for "Water" here! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... gatta.html

Which is where we are at the minute, Lori.. onboard, just back from the Kariaoki, at the WRC.

Great, David! Can you ask the "mob handed" to get their names down asap, please? (PM on its way).

John & Mary-Jane, Friday Girl, Stern, Yes Gav & Annie, Escape, Side, Yes Tracy, Wayne, Kristie, Katakalousse Side, Yes Ric, Donna & Lilly, Tic Toc, Side, Yes Ian, Heather, Rachel and Tom, Senator, Stern, Yes Barry & Olive, Tot Tyme, Stern, Yes David & Rachel, None

You may have our aft (en-suite) cabin for the night, David, if you'd rather not bother with a cab...

Where else but GCM, David?

She looks a little cracker, Martin!

Thanks, Dave.

We're berth holders at the WRC.... does that give us any rights at Horning, then?

Obfuscation is the concealment of intended meaning in communication, making communication confusing, intentionally ambiguous, and more difficult to interpret. Sounds like anything you've heard of or read???

Hah! And get a reply which would be a probable masterpiece in the art of obfuscation!

Prior to our present boat, Neil, all our previous ones were sea-going and as such had sea-toilets. I was led to understand that that was still the case with sea-going boats?

Neil, Hi Years ago we fitted a diesel stove; so you don't have to worry about alternative tanks... expensive but good... http://www.kuranda.co.uk/chandlery/wall ... oking.html

It would have been the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight DC3 Dakota, Lori. http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/theaircraft/dakota.cfm

If you click on each symbol it will come up at the LHS.

Swordfish, HI May I ask what on earth you had been accused of to warrant this?

I know about the AIS maps and here's one for any aeroplane buffs: http://www.flightradar24.com/ This is an interesting website, it shows - in real time - details of planes flying over UK, Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand airspace, providing height, speed, direction together with source and destination information. It seems they update their positions about every 10 seconds. The only condition is that the aircraft must be equipped with ADS-B transponders to participate. The ADS-B system (Automatic Dependant Surveillance-Broadcasts) is the next generation of aircraft tracking technology that is gradually taking over from traditional radar for primary surveillance. The beauty of ADS-B is that both pilots and ATC can see the same radar picture. It appears to be used extensively in Europe but less so in the United States as you will see from the map.
