Battern down the hatches Howard the wind and rain have just arrived in Broadland ! John

That was great thanks for sharing Charlie 👍 John

Have you got a photo of it? As there was one completely refitted about 10 years ago next to a cottage we owned at the time, it was a yellow colour from memory. John

Oh dear Warren I am doing the opposite journey tomorrow Salhouse to Manchester via Sheffield so hope they have sorted at least the main roads out ! No snow here in Norfolk but windy and raining. John

It quite heavy similar to granite going off the samples we have. John

Expensive Griff is Corian as just priced them up at our house as do love it on the boat with having no joints. John

What an amazing story of a great guy many thanks for sharing Peter. John

Having had both set ups I wouldn’t swap back to the manual type after having a vetus electric one. If used properly they shouldn’t use that much more water than manual ones (eco for small jobs, normal for big jobs and an empty the bowl without flush option) I can’t see how you could fill a tank in 2 days unless the tank hadn’t been emptied properly or more likely an over sensitive gauge. Also would be interesting to see how big the tanks are on that boat. John

I take it it’s your 1st trip out / pick up trip as well. You could try to call Boulters Marine 01692 630498 for advice. John

Sorry to hear that Carole, I hope things go to plan 2nd time around for you . John

That looks interesting. you passed me on your way to Norwich earlier around Bramerton. John

Ah Mr Calypso man one night at Horning green next night Ranworth without fail , must get pretty boring if you ask me all year long. John

It is in good hands, I’m sure the people who moor there will be very pleased with that. John

Glad you are home Carole and went well, mine was done and dusted for 9.30am and I was home for 10! Now hopefully I can move the boat from Horning to Brundall on Saturday with a bit of assistance to her new mooring before Clive unties my ropes 😂 John

Happy op Carole hope all goes well as also an eye op day for me on Monday no compression stockings thank god just a patch for a short while 👍 John

Good one MM, when I get a job around Cley and the owners say Clie always thought it should be as it’s spelt Cley (Clay) John

Bella Donna ? We’re did they get that name from ?I thought it was the name of the B and B from the Only fools and horses Jolly boys outing but realised that was the Villa Bella 😂 Looks a bit nicer Jean and hope you had a nice week 👍 John

Boulters was up to £1.14 last week when I brimmed the fuel tank (100lts first fuel put in all year 150hp Yanmar, our boat not used enough ! ) John

Hard to believe a company with as many boats as Herbert Woods wouldn’t have any spare ropes ! I will drop some off for them as I must have collected / bought 4 sets over the years stored in the rear well deck. John

Dear Charlie I will pass your words of wisdom (apart from the extremely good looking young man bit as we know that’s exagerating a little) on to son no 1 who is on the QE carrier in Singapore not allowed off the ship once again with some extremely fed up ships crew John

Should be superb Carole but I would like the bill for that lot 😂 John

Looks great well done 👍 John

Good information this as I have the same problem with a smelly waste tank vent when half full . (The boat didn’t have a vent when manufactured don’t know why ? Is it really needed ? which was only 10 years ago but was picked up on survey when we bought her 6 years ago so as it was an nya stock boat done without any bother ). I don’t think it has any inline filters so will address this as well. It is also a big tank 220lts so extra blue bought yesterday. When we have a pump out it takes quite a while and we get looks a bit like the McDonald’s adverts believe in getting your money’s worth! Because we use the boat for odd days rather than full weeks it’s not pumped out every week like others may do which doesn’t help. We are also moored just down from you in the same marina Paul so it will be getting a smelly reputation😂 John

Don’t understand why you have to turn a perfectly good post about what we are likely to be doing in 2022 for holidays into another political conversation ! Its getting boring.
