The NORFOLK Wherry Trust now on tv on Antiques road trip BBC 1

I have one of those flat hoses that stows on a reel, it’s useless and I will be changing it for a self coiling one.

One of the points it failed the BSs was the fire extinguishers, it doesn’t matter why they failed but Robin as he does has decided to upgrade them all so they now comply with bells on. FFS does it really matter why they failed it’s now sorted so folks lets move on.

Not if it’s under 70kgs empty weight, curtesy of the new EU regs.

Last week someone decided to use the Coltishall road roundabout as a car park, it is very difficult to see these roundabouts in the dark it needs better lighting.

Mines gone up by just over £12 so cancels out the reduction I got last year.

Well done you two.

Ginger nut or the football.

I remember when they checked the extinguishers in the WRAF block at St Athan all the gas cylinders where missing, cannot think what the girls used them for

If you want to know how this type of bridge works there is a feature on ITV news Norfolk (on now)

Sounds like a load of waffle to me.

I wish they hadn’t painted the cabin side, it just doesn’t look right.

Or the Riggers, nothing happens without them.

I did once get seasick on a windsurfer in the black water estuary. There seems to be a pattern forming

During August 1985 we hired a T31 sailing boat from Falmouth, after being stuck in the Helford river for the first 3 days we finally made it up the coast to Salcombe. The following day we had planned a trip across to the Channel Islands but decided due to the weather forecast to head back down coast towards Plymouth. We passed a large white object sitting upside down on the rocks but didn’t take much notice. On reaching Fowey harbour the crew had had enough with all but one being sea sick. We moored up on the visitors moorings which are directly in line with the harbour entrance, as the boat was being tossed all over the place we took the decision to head to the nearest hotel for the night. The following morning we called the water taxi to take us back to the boat and he headed off towards the yacht club moorings, sorry I said we are down there on the visitor moorings oh no your not came the reply we move it last night due to the.wind. On arrival back into Falmouth we found the harbour full of Fastnet boats and the white hull we had seen days earlier was Drum Simon LeBon’s yacht that had lost its keel. Not a pleasant two week holiday during which I got very friendly with the big white telephone that was the last sailing holiday in the UK preferring Greece but that’s another story.

Most of my sea experience has been in rag and sticks and this was by far the worst conditions I have experienced. Would I do it again Hmm probably not, would I have missed the opportunity to be a small part of Robins fantastic adventure. Definitely Not.

I was alway taught you keep the weight as far back as possible and nice and low to stop the bow digging in

I’m still not back to normal, I got sick having a bath this morning.

Nipper is still in varnish after 68 years.

I believe the ranger said the BA office has been tracking the progress on AIS so would know exactly where he was.

Is it too late to guess 5000 ltrs.

That might take some time

You also have Flogas, not all bottles are screw fittings some have a quick release connection and you can get two different sizes. A photo of your set up would be good because once we know the type we can suggest places to get them. i have flogas with a quick release connection and I get mine from Boulter’s in Horning. Doug

Looks better weather than we have in Norwich.

You and me both along with many years windsurfing my contender tried to kill me on many occasions.
