Sounds like you had a lucky escape. It just goes to show how quickly a dangerous situation can arise and that even experienced helmsmen can be caught out by unforseen circumstances. A salutary lesson for us all

I did wonder about using the phrase before I posted it! What about Larry Grayson's friend 'Everard' on the Generations Game? That was prime time, too

I expect so. I was on my honeymoon, hubby steering me doing the tossing the mudweight over. We didn't notice at first until another boat shouted across to us (at least the people on the other boat did, not the boat itself
). Needless to say, we had a teeny-weeny argument about it and I stormed into the cabin, so I can't say for sure.-

Good idea if you attach it to the boat as well.......
Reminds me of my first time. Mudweighting at Ranworth.... need I say more?

I've just looked out my copy of 'The Worsted Viper' and have found out that thereis another Mrs Bradley novel set on the Broads called 'Wraiths and Changelings'.

First time for me was when I was about 10 with my parents and brothers, we hired a Gold Gem from Richardsons (where else) and I remember thinking it was a palace even though the seats in the Saloon were brown plastic.
Thank goodness they've got rid of those!

Thank you, Maurice. It's one of my favourites, too. By the way, I love your username!
Sorry about that, Alan.
Don't worry, that's the last from me for a while, until I have this years photos. Only 8 days to go, now

Was never keen sailing on Breydon, them posts keep getting in the way
. ( Yes there is a story connected with that ).Doug.
I'm sure we'd all like to hear it. You know they say confession is good for the soul!

No, we were going the other way, but I expect it would have done if we'd been travelling in the same direction. It was pretty windy!

I love the walk up to the road from the moorings at Brundall Church Fen. There's the 'excitement' of having to cross the railway line, and it can be a bit boggy in places, but it's still one of my favourites. Also the walk from the Pye's Mill moorings to Loddon, even though the cows can be a bit intimidating at times!

I am taking my 'common' in laws for the first time and I've no idea if they'll like it. they haven't had a holiday for 12 yrs so I thought this has to be a winner (I hope).
Mickey, we took my parents-in-law for their first boating holiday a few years ago when they were both in their 60's (and that was overseas, to boot!) and despite being somewhat apprehensive, they absolutely loved it.
I hope you all have a wonderful time and welcome to the forum.

Not mad Gracie
I've only ever been abroad for work reasons, never had any fancy to holiday out of this country and keep coming back to the broads time and time again (2 weeks to go until the next time)

This isn't so bad, if you want peace and quiet.

Hi Peter,
What's the insurance like on a Viking Funeral?
I guess there may be an excess on the policy
Regards
Alan
Yes, don't think 3rd party, fire and theft would cover it.

Couldn't agree more. What's done is done, let that be an end of it.
All new members are welcome here, and there's really no need for anyone to justify themselves.

Sorry we are off of topic.

Well, I comfort myself with the fact that if I get into trouble, you 'll have mod yourself, too
Rizzoli and Isles is on 'Alibi', which I don't think is on Freeview? We have Virgin.

I quite like the program and have always been a fan of Diana Rigg ever since her Avengers days. Neil Dudgeon as her chauffeur George Moody (the new Barnaby of Midsomer Murders) plays well off of Adela Bradley's character.
I think a lot of men are fans of Diana Rigg (especially in her yoounger, 'Avenger' days). I can't think why!
Yes,I, too, like the interaction between the two characters in the Mrs Bradley series. I like my murders interspersed with a little humour. Have you seen 'Rizzoli and Isles', Alan? In my opinion, it's easily the best American detective series I've seen, and I would imagine that, for the male viewer, it has other attractions

The main thing is not to get any warning points under your members picture.
I have never seen any, other than on test accounts.
Be careful what you say, Alan. You know some people can't resist a challenge!.

Spider, the Gladys Mitchell one is a 'Mrs Bradley' mystery. I don't know if you saw the televised versions of some of her books starring Diana Rigg?
-
Why not go on the webcams and take your own?

I love murder mysteries, and don't really care whether they date from the early days (Wilkie Collins etc), through the 'Golden Age', right up to the present day. I've only read the first Chris Crowrther (Waterproof) so can't comment on the series as a whole, but I'd certainly prefer to read C.P. Snow's 'Death under Sail' and Gladys Mitchell's ' The Worsted Viper', if I wanted a good murder mystery set on the Broads.
). Needless to say, we had a teeny-weeny argument about it and I stormed into the cabin, so I can't say for sure.

Yes, Carol would get my vote, too. I bought the DVD 'Boating on the Norfolk Broads in the 1930s' and would highly recommend it. A fascinating chronicle, not only of the Broads, but of life in general in less complicated times.
Funnily enough, it wasn't how much everything had changed that struck me, but how, in essentials, a holiday on the Broads is the same now as it was then. Perhaps that is its main attraction and what keeps people (myself included) coming back year after year.
Thank you, Carol, for the many, many hours you have spent preserving these records for the delight and enrichment of us all.
