    dont forget to pack your knitted trunks just in case you get stuck at Beccles though.

  4. Owners of dog found but a bit late as the dog warden came for her and took her to swaffam.

    My suspicions were correct she had fallen from a boat and the owners didn't notice for 2 hours, they were looking for her in the Chet 

    This is one lucky dog tonight as the tide was running fast at Reedham.

    Sarah couldn't believe some one from a boat further back said they saw the dog pass there boat but didn't think any thing of it!!

    its been a week of rescues as I had to pull a young lady from the drink at Ferry marina Horning on Sunday as she stepped into the water to early as they were stern mooring again this could have been bad as she was right in the middle of the boat near the prop but all was well  after a bit of vocal shouting to cut the engine.

  5. Looks well stuck, hope the tide was falling.

    re turning on a sixpence it's not that easy around St Olaves / reedham  areas if the tide is behind you  can't leave it too near to turn around or you will easy get swept sideways  ( I have the same boat with large single engine ) 

    had to put plenty power on on Thurs to turn around (well before bridge at Reedham ) I knew it was fine  and in plenty time but when the strong current pushes you sideways it gets the grip a bit tighter on the wheel !

    if experience is limited this can easy happen when panick sets in.

  6. Hi Richard yes I remember cascamite  well as mixed up many cups of it during my apprentice joinery time..

    As with learning any trade it really does set you up in life for doing jobs around the house without having to think about it.

    But marquetry is a real special game, tried it once and although it looked ok never again.
