  1. Oh my goodness this topic has made my skin crawl. I don't care where they are as long as they aint in my bed :default_biggrin:

    Watched a documentary  on bugs or part of it once, I couldn't sleep for a week :facepalm:

    Jeez I'm itching now, thanks for that Andrew :default_biggrin: x

  2. I've always loved crossing Breydon, the boys, when they were much younger thought they were going out to sea. The choppier the better. I've never come across any Krakens or sea monsters either. I reckon it's just a myth started from those moored South to stop the hoards :default_biggrin:

    Enjoying your write up Kate, thank you x

    not to mention the sheer pleasure of sitting by the bridge watching the world go by with a glass in hand.

    Absolutely spot on

    I can go to the cinema, the shops, theme parks etc any day of the week. I come to the Broads to live afloat for a week or two on a basic little boat

    Look at Jeans lovely little video, that's what it's all about x

  4. You are so right M, there's nothing quite like a Broads holiday and being afloat. With the rising costs, closing of moorings and paying to have to moor on top of all that, normal, hard working people won't be able to afford it and that's the real shame of it all 

    As for the weather, I blame it on non vegan boats :default_biggrin: x

  5. Who are not like us......We are all equal.

    We are all the same when it comes to enjoying our rivers and I am sure we are all the same in wanting to enjoy them safely. It's all ready been said how some paddle boarders dart out between moored boats etc. It's been said by Mark I think that his grandchildren have had tuition and rightly so but unfortunately not all people are as safety minded. There are parents where I work who's children wanted a paddle board to use on our beach in the summer holidays so they got one simple as that. No training, no rules, nothing, A tragedy waiting to happen, I suppose when, and when, not if it does everyone will be up in arms shouting how something needs to be done

    I've had my say, I am done with this x

  6. The man is now blaming it on the weather :facepalm:

    This not only rings true but aligns with the "feeling" always in the background of BA decisions (or at least those coming direct from Dr Packman) that discouraging motor vessel use and\or eventually eliminating it is a desirable goal!

    This frightens me Ray but I fear you are so right. I fear for the future of the Broads and boating as it would seem the authorities and the weather :facepalm: are actively working against us x

    Thank you for the only helpful reply 😂😂.

    You'd think it was bad that we care about the security and safety of our car.

    I fully understand you asking Lynsey but did you really expect sensible replies from this lot :default_biggrin: You and your man have a lovely time x

    If you put me on one of those things I am damn' sure I would be straight off it, into the drink.

     

    You and me both Vaughan, don't suppose one can wear heels whilst aboard either :default_biggrin: x

  9. Everyone is entitled to use our rivers as they see fit but I am in total support of no go areas, not to spoil it for paddle boarders but for their own safety as well as that of helms

    I truly hope not but fully expect a tragedy to happen before something is done to protect them and people start blaming boaters and the boat yards

    I get tired of seeing social media videos and posts of bad helmsmanship and hire yards getting a load of slack for it, how about the hundreds of times you see someone handling a boat beautifully.

    Although I may be accused of being a snowflake, safety is paramount especially for the amount of children on paddle boards who have not had enough experience or tutoring x
