Grrrr,, I come on line to read a whole backlog of tales about the yard and have a great time catching up, liking posts, looking at pictures etc and boom!!! Ziggy has passed away, ffs, I liked him A LOT,, I have videos of him attacking my jeans and fy fingers but in a way I think he was just greeting me,,, I am in fact gutted.. I have met Susie 'Quatro' and she is a clean little Queen that I hope will stick around, I'm sorry he's left us Jon, I really am,, 'uck! :-(

Couldn't agree more Vetchugger,, Stick + Bear + Poke = RUN!!!!!!

I can not believe that I have been lazy (very busy) and not been on this interesting thread since mid may, I have been up to the boat for a long weekend which included the 3RR and out to Normandie for a week for the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, and Model flying event. So tonight I think "I must catch up with A Boat Yard Tail or Two",,,, 7 posts just SEVEN! I sit at my desk agast that there is so little to read ;,( Hope your well and just too busy to fill our Electronic Voyeuristic desires for an insight to a working boat yard in Norfolk Regardd

Your photography is getting better and better John,, helped with a little sun rise of course

And if you were on Benefits you'd almost be normal, oh and probably better Orf toooo!

Thought I'd just say hi as i haven't been around, the foot is back in a shoe so I am beginning to be a lot more mobile,, but right now I am out of your way enjoying some fun and sun in Egypt! Tomorrow we will be be off on a motor yacht to a reserve that we can snorkel and appreciate the marine life,,, 37 bloody degrees out here!!! Can't wait to be home on the broads! Hope your all well? Regards Bazza

Well Well,,, I do believe that is E47 Supreme,,, She is a lovely woodie and I really hope she floats on the Broads once more,,,,

WTF!!!,,,,, Lol

20 to 5,,,you were an early bird this mornin,,, when you start waking at 3 a.m and start drinking tea your officially old! With transporters to meet and get on their way I guess it has to be dawn of crack!! Anyway,, Cast off! The Lime green one that is and the foot is back in a shoe so another visit this weekend to get more done Have a good day Jon

Whoooops I just read that again and realised it could be taken the wrong way!! :-D

Your passion for a woodie is undeniable Jon

There we go,, Jabbing Jon with a sharp stick must have worked, daren't ask him to change the oil on my boat :-D Joking,, don't need oil change,, honest guv. Love the look of that oak top,, the magic that can be created with wood :-p Drool,,, The problem with being good at what you do and what you offer will keep you in high demand. Great but hard work!

Well Jon must be busy on that there yard as it's been over a month since he's updated us with amusing and interest facts and photos of working days at the marina ) I those that want to hear and see more should post here to spur him on for more of the above

Hi Soundings Thanks for the contact,, I have not received a P.M from you yet, please try again Regards Barry

I have been reading this thread with great interest, well done so far to Alan (and your engine room buddy) and all that want to assist with their in depth knowledge. Strowager, the raw water filter you pictured is what we have on our boat, on our previous boat too, but the were different as the stop cock on the current boat is after the filter as your pic show's, so when we winterized we had to pour quite a bit of antifreeze through until we could be sure of a good mix, so we then closed the valve we poured some in the filter tubed and closed the top, but it worried me that the mix in the filter tube could weaken and get a freeze there. The weather was kind this year so no worries, but do you know why they were designed this way, did we do all we could to avoid freezing, I'm now thinking of swapping it out to a different design when she comes out next. Your thoughtsplease?
