As we have become boat less recently and looking for a new boat at the moment we considered looking at these 2 but the cassette toilet was not an option, and the faircraft offering didn’t have a second mate viewing seat opposite the  helmsman's seat . But hopefully we got sorted this weekend as offer accepted on a boat we have loved the design of for a few years 😉

With the rules changing re Covid my son had to go in work this week even though he has a positive result and feeling rough. This is in the royal navy as well. He was one of the few people not to get it on an 8 month deployment last year. So now it’s considered as a common cold and nothing to worry about any more after 2 years of panic mode !

Traffic lights and single lane over  Wroxham bridge. A big hole is being dug Wroxham side. Quite a hold up either side of bridge.

Talking to a guy at Brooms today they have 1 boat out, one being used later in the week for a tv cook (Ainsley Hariott ) programme, Â then steadily more from next weekend. They were all looking top notch and ready to go.Â

It must have been a quick job as all had cleared on my return this afternoon 😀

New traffic lights up at Wroxham bridge what a complete joke!Â

Hi  my opinion through experience I think you would get a bit fed up of carrying petrol cans around as there aren’t any petrol pumps any more around here.Â
The Shetlands seem a good starter boat but they do seem to change hands quite regularly for some reason.There is a Shetland 29i on again which gives better stern on access but it’s a bit over priced in my opinion.Â
There isn’t much decent around at the moment I’m afraid but this could change once April comes so don’t rush into it would be my thoughts.

Yes messing about with the interior must have devalued her some what. (But the price looks good now as it’s been reduced)
It’s must be a comfortable boat with those chairs if one or 2 people were using her but not a family or 4 people boat as she was originally.
I believe she was White diamond 2 when new which we hired the 2nd week she was out from new a with all red upholstery and a nice big seating area. I would be first in line if she was still like that.John

Just passed through, they don’t look any further forward.Â
This was one of our reasons for moving to Salhouse from over the other side of the bridge. You expect  a back log in summer but not this this time of year, there is one set of road works after another on this road.John

We are certainly having a nice few days weather wise which if you fully winterise you don’t get to enjoy.

Just driven past the testing centre at Postwick, it was heaving. I haven't seen it that busy in the last two years.
It’s been like that for the last few weeks (Boxing Day all the roads were blocked with people trying to get in ) much busier than last year as you say.Â

At Neatishead and Irstead your can guarantee hostility with the fishing fraternity if you try to moor in the fishing season and I have been wary of leaving the boat for any amount of time. It is time now to ban fishing at these moorings as these people have taken over.

Hope they find out who has done this  and send them the bill, frankly disgraceful Behaviour! I’m afraid if I caught someone doing that to my boat they would be straight in the water.

What nice weather we are having here in Broadland.  Not much happening at work so gave the boat a mid winter clean off and couldn’t resist a run out to Rockland Broad and back.  Then this morning a walk to Salhouse Broad with the dogs were the geese have taken over, very quiet nobody around bliss! Even the Nogs were in hiding 😂

Yes had a great 7 years with her but a sedan is a floating apartment with a height restriction and not a family sociable space. Looking forward to being outside again 😀
