Sound sense, Andy. The one thing that overrides all others in my planning is to cross Breydon immediately after slack water low. Because then I am on a rising tide and have a few hours to change that wretched impeller (yes, it has happened to us). I might also manage to tie up to a post (I did). Our propulsion chain is as serviced as often as most but things can go wrong.....
They've gone utterly and completely barmy. I'm so glad that the surviving senior members of my family (from WW2) have now left us.... they just wouldn't understand.
They do, they do! " warps", "halyards", "sheets", "running rigging", "boltrope", "bobstay", "bowline", "brails", "cable", "painter","hawser", "shrouds", "ratlines" ...... Blimey, me hearties, what have I missed?
Looking forward to it, Mouldy. Will you be flying the NBN Burgee? I only ask as it makes identifying Members much easier. You should see quite a few of us, either South, or coming back North from the Autumn Meet. You can check out boats on the Meet pages. Have a Great Time !
Dave, hi. It's coming from the "Authority's national park reserves" as stated in Peter's link...... At this stage it is not possible to determine the potential legal costs that may be incurred by this Authority in seeking to defend this claim up to and including the hearing next year. As of the renewal hearing, the Authority’s costs were estimated to have reached just over £10,000. Any costs will fall within the Authority’s Legal budget and should, as expected, those sums lead to an overspend of the Legal budget for 2015/16, any additional sums shall be met from the Authority’s national park reserves.
Graham, hi. We bought one earlier this year and it fits the bill as Robin''s above. It has the addition of a transformer so that you can take it home in the Winter. I'll take a pic of it this afternoon when we get aboard Friday Girl and post it here together with the details.
OK, Graham, have you had it costed, will it break the bank, do you really want this boat? I do agree about what you've been told. So long as you get a reputable guy to do the job it shouldn't be a problem.
