Looks like I had missed something!

Whilst wandering around the Internet just now, I found these two grand old ladies for sale - I do hope they go to a good home and stay on the Broads. As I came over the Postwick Flyover on Saturday I saw that two of the boats were out of their water.

[A11 has opened today with the dual carriageway at Thetford]

Twas nice and quick yesterday - will see what it is like coming back this afternoon

[A11 has opened today with the dual carriageway at Thetford]

I am convinced that we will still have problems at Fiveways - sorry, I just hope not! Going to try it out tomorrow

[Boating mag - what features, what stories, what news?]

Wooden restorations!

[What was your first trip on the broads?]

Water level was much lower then

Unless there was no other option, you jumped from midships where the deck was lower - anyway that was what you did on WR - a sister ship is in background of Griff's photo.

 

I was 16 months old for my first trip, on an Admiral from Brooms, followed by another Admiral, Challenger ?34 (Trumans), Checkmate (Collins at Oulton) then three Ripplecraft when we went from spring weather to summer weather, followed by a Broadland Teal which father considered buying, Valentina in November from Neatishead as it was one of the only boats available in November in 1965, the WR (Delight VII) was bought.................. (Father tried the Fens out twice and the Shannon once)

[Sweet Kingfisher1 profile photo has vanished]

I can see it?

[Northern Meet]

What about down south................

[Restoration.]

I fully agree, quite stunning! Almost as good as WR

[Acle]

I want to go although it implies that Frank Southgate is still alive?http://www.edp24.co.uk/mobile/what-s-on/art_exhibition_celebrating_the_broads_to_open_later_this_month_1_3844458

[Coltishall Lock to Geldeston Lock]

Yachts have a challenge to do this from day break to dusk - someone has done it but not say Geldeston but /Coltishall to Norwich New Mills

[Conned Again]

Bags of flour used to be 1.5kg now 1kg, same size packaging initially! The list is continuous.............

[London Rascal Spotting]

WR eat your heart out!  24 bottle wine cooler and on board WiFi system! Has a bit of wood though Enjoy though

[Today's flooding]

Bridge was probably open as the line was shut due to flooding?

[Broadland Monopoly]

I think this is great ~ Horning = Park Lane if Wroxham =Mayfair

[Paddy's Lane moorings face closure?]

I read the story on more than one forum so knew when I signed the petition that the key element was that the link to civilisation was under question or removal rather than the closure of the moorings but still felt the need to signl. Comparing to Womack Island is not fair as that is an island. What is interesting is that nearing everyone that has commented says that the lose of moorings in particular wild moorings is key to their concerns............

[Pubs in Coltishall.]

There is no problem turning around, the problem this summer was serious weed! The weed blocked the intact on WR before it even reached the filter - it was a serious blockage. LBBY have banned me from taking WR up there again

[Broadsventure XII back]

Does Magnor have any bulk head numbers remaining. Cleome which was Powles built still had hers and the owner(who you will know) traced the info at the Norfolk Records Centre as I did with WR and two out of the four Delights that went to Ireland in 1965 - just a thought?

[Where was this picture taken?]

Tofts Monks Mill on the Waveney (Haddiscoe Island) near St Olaves (Breydon side) found it on Google satellite but recognised the tree shelter belt and guessed it was on that stretch of the river

[Boat of the Seventies?]

I don't think the photos are taken in Wroxham, the first photo shows the sheds much clearer and they aren't the Loynes' sheds. Can't say where it is unless it was taken in the Jenner's basin at Thorpe. It is odd that two Hearts cruisers are close together?

[Boat of the Seventies?]

The boat in the background looks like a wooden Hearts boat - search Broadland Memories and Hearts Cruisers and their story by Vaughan Ashby

[Where was this picture taken?]

Adam and Eve pub, Norwich

[Where was this picture taken?]

I did wonder about the old Anchor pub at Coltishall but don't think there is a huge Horse Chestnut tree next to it?

[Bridge Pilots]

When you ring Phoenix Fleet you get a variety of options, you then need to have your pen and pencil ready as it gives a mobile number for the pilot.

[For those of you that like sunsets & windmills]

Can't include a windmill but on the Waveney in 2011
