Robin, If I ever have the money to build a boat, I might ask you to be the Project Manager.

Hi Yorkshireowl and welcome to the forum. With an airdraft of 6ft 9in, 7.30am will be no problem at all and you will have the tide to help you up the Bure.

Not just you Ray. I am lost also.

Thanks Carol and thanks Vaughan for all the hard work to put this together. It was lovely to watch.

Hi Andy, No damage to you and nobody injured, but it should not have happened in the first place. I would report it to the powers at be and let them know.

Just watched it Robin. Very good - as usual.

Well done to you Griff. Nice when things come to the right people.

Sounds exceptionally good to me. Looking forward to it.

Iain, My time at the Mayfair (5 years) saw me meet many stars. Not something I can post on here, but to be laughed at over a pint or three. An example is 25,000 pounds worth of damage to a suite by a well known band and a shrug of the shoulders with a credit card was all that was required.

Stuart, A little story about MJ and all true - for I was there and part of it. When he came to London, he stayed at The Mayfair Hotel and I was the Director of Engineering. He took the 2 bedroom Penthouse Suite and I was asked to remove the bed from the second room and put in a wooden floor. I naturally presumed that he wanted to hone his dancing skills, but I was wrong. His remote controlled toy cars would not work on the carpet. Anyways, his personal minder was called Bill Beaumont and was a retired Los Angeles policeman. He gave me 2 tickets to his Wembley concert, but unfortunately, I could not go on that night, so I gave the tickets away. I was asked to go the second night and ended up on the sound stage. Still, to this day, the most professional concert I have ever seen and MJ was amazing.

ELO - they bring back some happy memories. Enjoy Griff.

Looks very good Doug. You should be very proud of her and have every right to be so.

Lovely write up Bryan. Looking forward to the video.

Fingers crossed. We hope you can make it. Would be nice to have a pint together on the Friday night.

Just checked the Shorebase tide tables again and they show low water slack at 7.54am on the Saturday morning. A convoy would be great fun and company.

Hi Geoffrey, We will be at Acle Bridge for dinner on the Friday night (22nd July) and will head for Oulton at 6.00am on the Saturday morning.

Gareth.

Been there - done that - got the tee shirt Charlie.

Good luck John. I hope you have a nice crossing and a good time in the south.

Yes it will. Looking forward to it.

We will be at the summer meet next month. Floating from 22nd to the 29th July.

Speed - I'm with you on this one.

He is beautiful and it would be great to meet him one of these days.

Inge. Good to see you here. Enjoy yourself.

Hi Jeff, There are people on this forum who can access information much quicker and better than I can, but if they want to expand the yard, then I am sure there must be planning permission applied for and possibly something for locals to voice their opinions on. I personally have no idea what is happening, so let's wait and see.
