  1. What happened to the poor dog at Richardsons?

    We think it died of a stroke due to being on a boat, as it wasnt that old, just a really big dog, it took 3 to lift it off !

    The reason i know is that Father Inlaw owns a Pet Cemetary, it the first boat death hes collected.

    Poor Dog :(:cry

  2. We were out on the Ant and the Bure on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We experienced widespread speeding, unsupervised children driving, dangerous jumping off at staithes, engines being endlessly run at moorings, excessively loud music, loutish shouting and swearing, several collisions There's no-one keeping order out there!

    The Norfolk Broads in Peak Season ! :lol::lol::lol:

  3. He's grown ! Clare starts high school this year ! They both said on Sunday they wanted a boat again. Boating on the Norfolk broads is one of the very few things that are worlds away from the world. For once I found myself being overtaken many times, thinking to myself that it's not worth rushing about on the river.

    Take your time, go at your pace and leave everything behind :)post-54-136713938913_thumb.jpg

  4. So thats the boat.

    We left Horning and headed to wards Salhouse Broad.

    Once on Salhouse Broad, we moored up at the secret moorings next to the Childrens play area.

    In the shade, so was very nice to get out of the heat for a while.

    Marcus went to play, while the Dog had a walk.

    After a short time we al walked over to Salhouse Bay ( see photo)

    Now this small sandy bay isnt very big, Its lovelly and shallow.

    Marcus swam about.

    What makes this unique is that theres so much going on, and everyone is having fun.

    Children Swimming, Adults messing about splashing the kids. Canoes floating past, Inflatable dingies.

    Dogs splashing and swimming. Then two radio controlled boats were bobbing about.

    One a Broads Cruiser replica and a ww2 gunboat ! Everyone using common sence and getting on.

    With out the law and order signs saying you cant do that .. you cant do this.

    It was a refreshing change.

    More to follow :)

    Wow what a fantastic day !

    What a fantastic little boat !

    The heavens opened at about 2pm but we had the roof up in a matter of seconds.

    Then the sun came back out, so rolled up the roof :)

    The boat was well equipt, gas stove ( for lots of tea and coffee )

    Proper little toilet (not a porta poty)

    12 Power point to plug our portable fridge in.

    Twin seats at the helm.

  6. Yep it stated on Wednesday...

    Sunday was a free day for the family, no kids invites to a party, No Church event, no Fete Event.

    It was a Day for the family ...

    So i decided the best way to spend the day with the family was to hire a boat :)

    With eh help of Forum Members (Jim) i was able to source a rather good looking day boat :)

    SKIPPER from Horning Ferry Marina.

    I was able to book online , very easy.

    So now cant wait till Sunday Morning to Board the Craft :)

    Pictures to follow ...................

  7. Perhaps I was unclear, we do not discourage negative comments per. se., what we do discourage is negativity from people who at least appear to join the forum to "have a pop" with no prior history or indeed anything posted after that.

    cheersbar
