Lovely pic Roy.

Well said!!!

If you go, try the Rib Eye, but don't have a starter and don't expect to eat pudding.

Food in the Ferry House is brilliant. Best steaks around for sure.

That I don't know Stuart. Maybe Iain or Alan can answer that.

Try Barnes Brinkcraft. I think they allow private boats for a mooring fee. If not, book the Hotel Wroxham, again for a fee.

Hi Stuart, Maybe the ''open circuit protection'' is preventing the output from turning on.

Go for it Tim!! I for one would love to read it, provided it had a little of your humour in it also.

to the forum. Enjoy yourself while you are here.

I think Beccles is one of the best places to visit on the broads. Good shopping, restaurants and pubs. My best like for the place is that you walk into town uphill all the way with nothing in your hands. You go shopping, you eat, you have a few beers and then it's downhill all the way back to the boat.

Brilliant news JM. It's always good when someone so young goes home from hospital.

We all hope that nobody was hurt.

Well, we paid over two thousand pounds for a week's hire and I wasn't going to waste it. I'm a person who likes to cruise and not one who moors up somewhere and goes for long walks. Even when we go to Norwich, it's in, shop, out again and back on the boat.

The 2 north that come to my mind are LBBY and Moonfleet. I've heard good things about both of them.

Happy anniversary. Enjoy the day, whatever you do. NB: it's a nice little train ride from OB to Norwich.

I read somewhere that it's the Admiral's birthday today - so ALL THE BEST JOHN and HAVE A GOOD ONE.

Many happy returns of the day Inge. Have a good one.

Good to hear from you Lori. They thought that I had already uploaded them and needed to empty the card for something else.

WHO??????? ME????????

If you look on holiday tales in this forum, you will see a few people, including myself, have posted stories whilst hiring the RC 45. I've been on 2 Carousels and the Commodore. Very nice boats.

Actually, IMHO, if anyone was in doubt about the for and against arguments of ''That One Man'' and read the Timbo post - there should be very little doubt anymore.

Very therapeutic to watch Tim. Loved it too.

NORFOLK BROADS BOAT PIPE SPECIFICATIONS 1. All pipes are to be made of a long hole surrounded by metal or plastic, centered on the hole. 2. The pipe is to be hollow throughout the entire length – do not use holes that are longer than the pipe. 3. The I.D. ( inner diameter ) is not to exceed the O.D. ( outer diameter ) otherwise the hole will be on the outside. 4. All pipes must be supplied with nothing in the hole, in order that water, diesel, gas, or other stuff can be put inside at a later stage. 5. All pipes should be supplied without rust, as this can be more readily supplied on the boat. Note: Some vendors are now able to supply pre-rusted pipes. This method has been extensively tested and researched by Norfolk contractors and is highly recommended as it will save a great deal of time on the boat. 6. All pipes over 500cm in length should have the words “Long Pipe” clearly marked on each side and end, so the contractor will know it’s a long pipe. 7. Pipe over 3m in length must also have the words “Long Pipe” marked in the middle, so that the contractor will not have to look the entire length of the pipe to determine if the pipe is long or short. 8. All pipes over 20mm in diameter must have the words “Large Pipe” marked on it, so the contractor will not mistake it for a small pipe. 9. Flanges must be used on all pipes. Flanges must have holes for bolts, quite separate from the big hole in the middle. 10. When ordering 90° or 30° elbows, be sure to specify left or right handed, or you will end up going the wrong way. 11. Be sure to specify level, uphill, or downhill pipe. If downhill pipe is used for uphill, the liquid will flow the wrong way. 12. All couplings should either have left or right hand threads. Do not mix threads; otherwise, as the coupling is being screwed on to the pipe, it is being unscrewed from the other end. 13. All pipes under 3mm are uneconomical to use, as they require many joints. They are generally known as washers. 14. Joints in pipes for carrying water must be watertight. Those pipes carrying gas however, must only be airtight.

We were recently on Brinks Rhapsody and mud-weighted overnight on Malthouse broad once and South Walsham Broad Twice. On all occasions, I left the salon lights on - just incase!!!!

to the forum. Enjoy.
