  1. Try the Polaris GPS Navigation App, we find it most useful for speed and distance.
  2. Where are you stopping overnight, Eric? P.S. I'll have the Islay waiting for you!
  3. We start our voyage to the Summer Meet this evening at about 19.30hrs, when we head for Friday Girl at Brundall. (We can't go earlier as a friend is coming round to house and dog-sit for us but he's in Arundel until 14.00 today....). Slack Water at Reedham is about 07.30 tomorrow so it's an early start for us which should put us into Beccles before 11.00. We like to spend a couple of days there and will hope to meet up with some old chums. Then it's down to OBYS early Friday morning to greet the crews as they arrive... it's looking like some weekend!
  4. That's a super start to your holiday, Neil... please let's have some more!
  5. What a lovely tale, Neil, and you do put across the holiday feelings so well!
  6. You deserve a VERY BIG chocolate bar for that. JanetAnne!

  8. A Warm "Welcome Aboard" the good ship NBN from us, Jules. Have a great holiday!
  9. Oy! You lot! Do you realise that you'll push this topic to over a hundred posts if you keep off topic? I had a super day out at the Farnborough Airshow on Wednesday......
  10. I'm not to sure why you are confused, Frank. The header for this thread is as below. That's when it is. SUMMER MEET - Oulton Broad Yacht Station, July 23/24, 2016 Of course you may book a mooring in advance but you don't need to if you are coming to the Meet. I do a block booking with them. I'll put you all down on Hakuna Matata now.

  11. Frank.... despite the various ramblings above I must point out that the Summer Meet is the weekend of 23/24 July not this last weekend, not next weekend but the 23/24 weekend. We hope you are all there!
  12. A warm "Welcome Back" from us, Tim (When in September?)
  13. We used to often fly into Prestwick in the 80's and 90's and when Ayr was full HeavyLift would send us to Largs for rest. We used to go into Macaulays for breakfast at 6am sharp and I was most surprised to see a very old wee man drinking nips & halves of heavy at that time. I asked the barman about him and was told: "He's Tommy, the Bard of Ayrshire" "Oh, he writes poetry does he?" I asked......... "No, he's been barred from every other bar in Ayrshire..................
  14. Sounds like you're really getting into your hols, Neil. Looking forward to hearing the rest of it!

  16. Done, thanks, Bill We look forward to meeting you all. Bob, thanks, so added.
  17. Thanks, Alan... I guess my "Oh, Oracle, when did you last go to OBYS?" fell on stoney ears!
  18. A taxi from Norwich to Oulton Broad would cost about £60... a lot less than 2 bedrooms in the local hotel..... https://www.rome2rio.com/s/Norwich/Oulton-Broad-North-Station Expensive but then you could arrive on Friday onboard HakunaMatata and spend the weekend with us?
