yard is drying out ,after last deluge of narfolk floods no more rain please ...........................
boats are coming and going too more to arive in next few days .........................
lots of happy people with new toys ........................
last week got a call from a cutomer who said .................................i found a boat .......!!!!ohhh dear .....
he we go again ...................................
so wait for foriegn bloke to travel form the far away smoke land in his posh ole motar....later in morn .collect my self and my adviser on all cross channel long distnace sea trips with all the sea experience as she was coming from a far away place with a nite crossing plannned ...............................
so orf to brundall we gooo...............!!!!
set foot on posh yard with nice freindly yard owner an d boat seller to meet nice couple of ole blokes ...
doo yer accept rough ole boys ................???
so we spent the rest of morn looking talking and digesting all over this super transition cruiser with a great little history
once all questions asked and engine run and all inspected with my best screw driver poking hole,s where there were none, we all shook hand s to wait for the next fourteen days of negotiations to proceed..............
a call later .............much later with at last the purchase was complete on a another broom to enter the wayford stable so all concerned vey happy
nice ole boot too but she had to be moved asap along with another too ...............................
so of to same zone with passport in hand to check out the other true classic woodie ................
so a classic transition boat form the broom stable and a very grand ole gril from 1927 full blown wood top and bottom are to make the wild trip across the narflok land pond
the 1927 woodie was inspected to see if she was a leaker sinker and and gooer too ..................
after a inspection of all important stuff like where to put beer, how to make coffee and can we put whisky glass on dash with it ooot vibrating orfff wasting it to help strip varnish orrf the floor ........!!!
so engines checked and bilge pump operating elec and manaul one too, as she could be a rough ole trip and the weather could close in at any time crossong this vast expanse from north to south yar now
the other crew were to collect the broom while i stayaed at the helm of the classic 1927 ship
we moved from posh marina and raft up along side of the woodie unplug the 240 volt link to the shore and fired up the modern twin diesels ,whaeeey were orf ......................cast off all the knitting or customer rope tying
push that ole broom away from me and i.ll use the twin engine on the woodie to manover way from the resting place where she has been for many a year , with lots orf grunt and skill to pull her away from a mud soaked berth and lots or sturring she was free to go whare she wants ..............
the new crewe of the broom went of in front, while i dun a complete 360 to asecrtian the ships well being and general **** around well had to play ........!!!!!
so nice little plod dun past all the gin palces and the birth pace or the broom in front with a tip of the ole hat to respect orf her birth place ..................
soon leave brundall and coldham hall to see the sister ship of another broom we have from the 45 foot family only four built yar now
she does like nice too ..................................better make a start on ours soon ............!!!!!!
so far all good ......................steady temps, steady speed not too much wash and nice water level in yer bilge with no rise nor wet feet ..................................!!!!
we left at 2.30 pm in the noon with a fair wind and tide, nice bright day and med traffic to cope with on the " yare crossing " so all good ........................
blimmey this will be good , last time we did this we towed four back so not use to so little around me ...........nice
to be continued................................and bore yer some more
