Peeing in the sink is a traditional solution, but only after all the crocks have been removed.

Reckon it's time to sort out thirteen good pictures, a job for this coming weekend so any last minute offerings, please, by Friday.

If all all else fails then bucket and chucket. and remember, if there is a wind, to jettison contents to leeward!

Don't worry, Frank, it'll all pull through!

Trev, a fresh approach to a stern-drive?

Personally, if I wanted all the comforts of home then that's where I would stay. But then my idea of boating is more akin to camping, indeed I actually set up tent on my boat. I suppose, if my boat was my home, then maybe my attitude would be different but for me boating is about not having the comforts of home. As for sleeping, I have found that fleece sleeping bag liners make darn good beds.

What a question lead survey!

Am just reading the latest edition of Broads Sheet, not much sqit, plenty of interest! Re that survey, according to Broadsheet you can participate by logging onto: http://surveys.insighttrack.co.uk/Boats

Have seen kids in the aft cabin with the door to the platform open, an accident waiting to happen? I have met boaters whose platforms have been expensively damaged when moored stern to. Not sure that I'd bust a gut to own one although I can see the attraction, I think.

No filter, Max, just a broad Norfolk sky as we get them in October.

It appears to be, at least down South. The shy-talks have taken over, a few anglers and a few private boats out there but next to no hire boats out on Oulton Broad. This shot was taken a few evenings ago, not a 'tripper', 'grockle' or 'izzert' in site, despite the excellent 'T-Shirt' weather. Been a good summer, excellent weather although due to caring responsibilities my boating has been somewhat curtailed this year. That aside have managed a few good trips although didn't get across Breydon this year.

I do know of a side on, quay heading, electrics, private mooring, non marina, not shared mooring at Oulton Broad. Nearby parking, only £2,000.00 per year for up to 45ft.

I don't doubt that Broom see a healthy future for their business of producing sea-going bling boats, lots of lottery winners out there! I have often wondered why they don't relocate to the coast, Lowestoft for example. Financing by housing development, interesting move . I'm with Strowger on this one, only I don't think that he has been misunderstood.

Must be nearing 40!

Clive, lifted off the Waterfly website: 'Built in Yarmouth by Fellows shipyard (see fellows ), she was launched with a bottle of milk broken across her bows and registered in Yarmouth as YH7 on 23 May 1894, with a Board of Trade number 104064. She was built of “120lb” steel, with a 25nhp (see nhp ) steam engine from Crabtree of Yarmouth and a boiler from Farrar of Newark (see farrar ). The engine had two vertical cylinders of 8inch diameter, with a stroke of 9 and 14 inches. Her gross weight was 48.79 tons, net 23 tons. Her overall length was 72 feet 5 inches, with a 14 feet 6 inches beam and 6 feet 3 inches of hold depth. The engine room was 18 feet long.'

This guide looks good: http://www.stovesonline.co.uk/stove-chimney-documentation/Installing-stoves-on-boats.pdf I had a p.m. suggesting I talk to a live-aboard at Wayford which prompted me to have a chat with one of the New Age Mariners at Oulton Broad, very helpful.

If there is a Soho in Monopoly then I suspect Yarmouth would be an apt swop!

You would think an old iron ship would, if she's there, be quite recognisable, There is this wreck on Breydon, https://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinmillican/4451999074/in/pool-unluckyboats but those ribs look like an old wooden ship, possibly a hapless hire boat!

That's a load of wash!

More oldish Reedham, 1950 ish again? I think that the steamer is the Resolute but stand to be corrected.

Reedham again, but probably fifty year older, Rubbish quality, original is an old slide, but I find it fascinating to see a wherry sailing along yet seemingly about to sink!

I'm guessing 1950 ish. The sailing boat number 24 is still about but I don't recognise the others.

Liable to inflation too!
