"Powered" and "unpowered" refer to whether you want leccy or not. It's nothing to do with or

John, Good Morning, sorry to be so late with the answers..... You filter away just about all of the sediment before you bottle it, or use a syphon tube to only take the clear stuff. I didn't notice that and use whole "heads". I've never made more than five gallons but I would imagine you scale everything up as you do in a breadmaker. Good Luck! (And please take note of Jill's comments re not washing the heads and not picking after a rain shower).

Can you give us a reference for that cam, please, Grendel?

"Common" ??? (Of an animal) found or living in relatively large numbers; not rare: you might spot less common birds such as the great spotted woodpecker; the swordfish is not common in European waters

It's saving itself for the last weekend in July!

Wow, Griff.. that frightened me just reading it.......... what were you driving? And if you'd been on your 'bike? The chap's obviously got a problem; so let's hope he doesn't cause a fatal accident with some poor old sod who hasn't got your reactions.

Oh, you brave, brave, foolish man, Trev! :naughty:

Well I'm not organising that, Peter.... but you are very welcome to!

Mary-Jane tells me that I had a quite splendid day!

Danial, Hi. Try ringing Oulton Broad, because I'm sure those rates only apply during the season April through October. The other 5 months are at a much reduced rate........... also you don't pay when you're away... All this applies to OBYS but I know that Sentinel Leisure own both.

During GW1 we frequently stayed in Bahrain and used to get a taxy "downtown" to a small pub/hotel where all the Saudis drank...... prices about half those in the hotels we stayed in. ice slice

Have a great time, Eric!

Broads Control..................................

Alan, Hi. Our thanks to you for starting such an important topic. I've only ever considered what I would do if Mary-Jane became ill......... We're fortunate enough to have a marine VHF and Mary-Jane has the licences; so we would certainly not hesitate to use it and put our a "Pan Pan Medico" or "Mayday" on channel 16 to Humber Radio. (I talked to them on Breydon recently with our handheld). Medical assistance A "pan-pan medico" call is appropriate if someone becomes injured or in need of medical help at sea. If the vessel is heading to shore and wants to be met by an ambulance crew, the local Coast Guard station can arrange this. A doctor or other trained medical advisor may also be available on the radio, perhaps by patching through via telephone from ashore or from a nearby vessel. If there is immediate risk to life, then a Mayday call is more appropriate. "Pan-pan medico" is no longer in official use.[9] Marine Rescue Organisations, such as Coastal Patrol, Coast Guard, and Search and Rescue listen on marine radio frequencies for all distress calls including "pan-pan". These organisations can coordinate or assist and can relay such calls to other stations that may be better able to do so.

Thanks, sweet heart, I'm looking forward to it!

When's the boat jumble sale/auction, please, Jon?

Unfortunately (hic) there's nowhere for Howard and me to visit!

We managed well over 72 pubs between Aug 1st and the end of Sept on the last Trail (2 years ago)... with two of us that amounted to 72 pints of Sundew (2 x 36 pint polypins). My personal epic was leaving the boat on Riverside in Norwich and falling back onboard several hours later.... I collected 9 stamps that day

Much easier to just make a fender board, we had one onboard our last boat and used it frequently. http://www.practical-sailor.com/news/build_your_own_fender_boards-10681-1.html

Grace, try visiting Riverside at Norwich Yacht Station on a Thurs, Fri or Sat night (or the early hours of the following morning.... you won't be disappointed! :wasted:

Lovely pics, Charlesa and Bobdog... makes me more determined than ever to get under that bridge when we come oop North in September! :clap

Usual lovely pics, Jill.............. We've been tempted to drop in there but those pics have ensured we will! :clap

Believe it or not I've opted NOT to go to the boat this weekend............. dammit, Alan, I can't find the cricket smiley! :naughty:

But did she understand you Iain? "Och aye the noo' "............. :shocked
