Anything Boating Technical.

Want to know how a sea toilet works ? Maybe a question regarding a outboard ? This is the area to post it.

Ahhh I didnt even think of the lenght of the mooring rope, i was looking at the Wooden Uprights. But now looking at the mooring rope being Exactly taught to the height of the boat makes me think even more its a photoshop. Im surprised the BBC didnt sus it out !

Is this Picture Real of Fake I found it on the BBC web site after the Flooding, but cant help to notice that a 2 tonne boat may well break 3 small posts ?? A Poll to see what you think.. Real.... Or Photoshop

We all watched Swallows and Amazons Forever on Saturday Evening. What a lovely Film Clare really enjoyed it ( shes only 6 ). She hooked now, and i managed to find The Big Six on DVD on ebay last night at a bargain price. Have you seen the price of the Original Books ? £ 125 !!

Yes lovely Dairyland Ice Cream while on the River. Give him a wave and heel moor up alongside. Great Prices as well.

Oh i do so love the Broads, there's a smile round every corner. Today while coming back from the Green Boat Show at Salhouse Broads we came across Darth Vader Locked in a Light Saber Battle with Yoda

Bet youve thought about converting it and getting it on You Tube also !

Fantasic Stories, In fact this thread prompted me to buy the DVD for my 6 year old Daughter ( Swallows and Amazons ) She hasnt watched it yet, weel watch it as a family on Saturday Evening Cant wait.

The Sea at Sunny Hunny was like a Pond when i was there a few weeks back A great place to have a paddle with the kids

Just had a look at their Web site, they certainly have a selection of safe craft

Hi Woody, Do you do much sailing off the Eastern Coastline ?

Over the years i have found that many of the Broads are not accessible by road and are private. But Some Broads which can be fished are :- Alderfen 15 acres of boat fishing only Barton Broads 100 acres of fishing by boat Beeston Hall (Lower Lake) 5 acres to fish Decoy Broads Norwich AA Hickling Broads & Heigham Sound 400 acres of fishing accessible by boat Horsey Mere Must be accessed from Meadow Dyke. No boats for hire locally. Bank fishing limited to Horsey Village Staithe (buy tickets at Staithe Store). Little Bridge Broads ( keep it quiet its my local fishing ground ) A small broad good at dawn and dusk. Ormesby Broad Rollesby, Lily, Great Ormsby and Filby Broads 800 acres of angling waters, not connected to the rest of the navigation. Best fished by boat. Rockland Broad Mostly boat fishing. River Ant At Ludham Bridge there is free fishing for 2.25 miles on the left hand bank both up and downstream of the Bridge. River Bure One of the major rivers of the Broads system, with certain stretches being very difficult to fish. Try Coltishall Common , Wroxham, Woodbastwick, Acle Bridge. Boats available in several places, boat hire available per day to non-members. River Chet Fishing is available from Loddon to Hardley Cross. River Stiffkey Delightful small Norfolk river with some Brown trout. Access is via local farms with permission. River Thurne Short tidal river connecting several water courses. Important fishing. Good stretches of free Broadland fishing at Martham Ferry, Martham Boatyard and Potter Heigham. River Wensum One of Norfolk's loveliest rivers although mainly privately controlled. Free fishing at Fakenham Common. Local tackle shops. For other access around the Broadland riversides contact local tackle shops.

You can Launch from The Public Slip, Many fish from the Bank but is very shallow

October. Access / Licences Anglers should ensure that they have the necessary permission to fish on privately owned water, those controlled by angling clubs or on banks of tidal waters.

After a Weekend at Sunny Hunny and watching so many off shore powerboats / Bayliners / Jetskis. It looked fun but..... THeres not much to see It cost £50 to lauch and recover this was done for you using a tractor. But after a few times up and down the costline at WOT they came back in. Has anyone else been out to sea ?

IT was a real pleasure turning on a pin head in front of Wroxham Bridge and also Potter Bridge. Being watched by many onlookers. I took my time it must have looked like a elegant swan spinning slowly on the spot The Engine had been restricted alot I had many hire craft coming past me. I think it revved up to 1800 RPM which was too noisy for a conversation. So kept at 1200 Rpm all of the time ( this is when many others caught us up and overtook ) Operating from the Fly bridge was like nothing else i had experienced, My Daughter kept me company. She loved the view overlooking all the other boats. I must admit i also felt King of The Hill up there

Try this one http://www.poshboats.co.uk A Sealine 38 which is moored in the heart of Wroxham. Standing out from the crowd. It has to be the ultimate hire boat on the Northern Broads

Just a few of our trip out last month.
