Hi Ray, You mean there are two men on here that have survived 40 years married bliss this year Just 17 more days to go for us! Iain.

Ooops, I get the picture Bob, your the member with all the bruises Iain

Awe Bob, are you a man or a .... Iain

I remember walking to the Harnser from Sutton Staithe, is it still there? Iain

Yes 72p at Troon Harbour for the fishing fleet. Or was last week. Iain

What Grace means Andrew, is, a case of wine this nice lady does nothing by halves! Iain

IF you began to sell the fish you caught on a pleasurecraft, would that make you a commercial craft? Iain

Bill, they would be out hunting for the infamous Woodfordes Wherry keg. Or recovering after finding it! Iain.

Sounds a good idea Stuart, but errr no mention of the wife being fitted with one! I was thinking of a certain lady on here who likes the smell of leather! Might save her hubby a few quid Iain.

Tim, You are lucky you got a wave at all, these south broads types are very posh indeed you know! Iain

Nice pics Eric, if you close your eyes and dream, Troon seafront looks the same! Iain

Come on you sailly types, it must be different for you regarding some, well many manouvers! Iain.

Hi Arnie and welcome to the NBN friendly forum With regards to Crystal Light, just had a peek on the HW web site, and notice it is a "sports cruiser". Like all boats, you will need to unpack and put the cases back in the car, space does look a bit limited in the pics. But always hard to judge till you are on the boat proper. Boating holidays are for relaxing and for me, not dressing up, more the opposite, dressing down. Have a great time, take things slowly, especially when mooring up. Hopefully, we will read a holiday tale from you later. I am sure others will be along shortly with their thoughts. Iain.

Ok you lot i've taken two paracetamol, and no migraine....yet! However, I had a boat this year with bow and stern thrusters. I used them very occasionaly untill we moored at the Waveney River Centre. I picked a nice mooring or so I thought that faces the entrance to the centre. Sadly the ladies informed me there was no cleat to tie the port stern rope too. This is where the thrusters came into their own.by pressing the switch to activate both port thrusters I was able to assist the ladies move the boat sideways to a point where there were two cleats to tie up too. I had never had a boat with them till Silver Harmony and Broadway which had both end s with thrusters. I believe they are quite dear to install. so maybe not for all boats but certainly for as many as possible, for us older crews, they are a boon to have. Iain.

Eat more carrots! Or Atrapine eye drops, or both. No lights required. Job done Iain.

Passing yachts on the Ant can be a very trying experience! Iain

Aye the NBN magnet attracts all these Sheffield Steel members Iain.

Hi Sue Welcome to the NBN friendly forum. I am a proper Northerner But agree what Alan said! Iain

Hi Alex, Welcome aboard to the NBN friendly forum Hopefully someone may have the information you are looking for. Iain.

I have just tried that BountyBoats link. It appears as you say, its not active. Iain.

Hi Monica, Put this in your favourites ..... http://www.thenorfolkbroads.net/forum/ this will take you here all the time. Iain

With the current wholesale fall in diesel prices, now back to less than petrol ten years ago, I wonder if that will effect the diesel prices split at the Boatyards? Petrol 114.9.....Diesel 112.9. Iain

Hi Monica, What do you mean by Bounty Boats website please? I have looked on Google, but cannot see a precise site for them. Iain.

Hi Alan, It was 2014 I am talking about. Good news if they have both been upgraded. We did not go to OBYS this year because of that Houseboat moored in the YS. Iain.

Hi Ian, I am looking forward to the Scottish Airshow at Prestwick in September. Just hope the weather behaves itself then. The Red Arrows have often stopped to refuel after a show up here. Iain
