Congratulations Mr & Mrs G nice to hear some good news 😀 John

Would be interested in knowing what battery bank they have on that to run that lot. I have 3 x 160 AH batteries through a master volt 2500 inverter and it doesn't like using more than 1 item at a time so if you try to run all that in one go I can’t see it working very well? John

I believe this is more directed to a certain speedboat that has been involved with quite a few evening cruises on the plane all over the Bure recently. John

And a lovely afternoon birthday lunch it was too on there! Gave you a wave Jemaki near Horning old water works around 1.30pm John

I have a business you can’t collect vat at 20% when the rate is 5% And pocket the difference this is cheating the customer at least Kris cruisers on the Thames automatically sent me a revised bill for our forth coming holiday without asking. John

Bang out of order, greedy people. One of labs will be hopefully having a litter of pups early next year and to see this done is disgraceful. John

2 places I pass most days Viking storage (inside) near Wicks on Sweet briar road or Cann Storage (shipping container type) at Stratton strawless both I would think a 15 / 20 min drive from Wroxham.

Bet I know who brought the subject up 🤔😂

Cheeky Charlie 😂

Looking good going through Horning sat at the front with your Granddaughter😀 John

I’m off next week so give me a call Mrs B hasn’t stoped laughing yet so I’m used to it 😂 John

No never said you were 😉

A bit of useful information for a top taxi bloke. Having had a bit of bad luck on Sunday night, it could only happen to me as I managed to lock myself out of the boat putting the external side sliding doors covers on the latch dropped slightly with no shoes, no phone or car keys etc. Sitting on the back of the boat with my head in my hands I came up with the idea to phone a taxi to take me back home to Salhouse for a spare set of keys. I saw movement and a light on on Evening Shadow across the marina (the gravel paths are very unforgiving with no shoes) to see if they would be so kind to borrow a phone which they were very helpful with. Easy you may think! Oh no all the local taxis finish at 8 pm it was 10.30pm. I got last resort phone number of a new taxi guy A 2 Z taxis who works Hoveton and Cromer and works nights, what a life saver he came within 10 minutes and charged £25 there and back. Top bloke and I can’t thank him enough. His number is 01603 781112 or 07796781550. Just glad I was back at Horning not mud weighted on Barton as I was the night before ! John

Just gone past this idiot just past Horning. He did slow down as he passed me though. John

Ha ha good to meet you even it was brief enjoy your quiet spot party party boat coming in your direction from Horning by the way John

You can run but you can’t hide Grendal 🤔 just gone past you but no sign of life didn’t want to disturb your snooze may catch you in way back frin Wroxham John

I have no doubt things will quieten down but at the moment the holiday hotspots around the UK are booming, people are spending money. I was talking to a guy NYA yesterday about a possible boat change and he said they have only 40 or so boats left in stock compared with normally over 100 boats. I have lived through many recessions and this is unlike the beginning of any other I have witnessed. The housing market is booming as is most of the building trade. The car market is doing well I have recently changed my car and the second hand prices have gone up instead of down due to low stock. Regarding the Boatyard’s I think the season will extend well past October this year to hopefully offset a little the missing 3 months. So I’m afraid some can paint a black picture if it suits but I’m not. John

Get them told Grendel no point in beating around the bush with these ignoramuses😂 John

It would be a fine boat but for the yellow colour! Don’t think the previous owners had her more than a few months. John

Is there any discount for members here ? John

I’m not going to argue that I’m afraid John

We have booked a boat on the Thames for the 1st week in October. They have sent me a new invoice with a reduced price showing the vat at the lower rate so it includes boats. John

Tried to see it mudweighted on Barton last night but it clouded over in that direction. The space station was clear and bright though at 11.15 so was a Brucey bonus oh and a hire boat had a full blown rave on the opposite bank with full set of coloured flashing lights for good measure 😂 John

Sorry to hear that Andy, you have put a lot of work into getting your boats to a great standard over the last few years. All the best in what ever you decide to do on the future. John

They looked rammed in together not room for fenders? John
