What a cracking piece of film. Thank you Carol, loved it!

Romany is hopefully still afloat. She was launched about 18 months ago after extensive work and I believe she is now residing on her owners plot opposite Brundall Bay Marina where they intended to finish her. She was booked to attend Beccles Wooden Broads Cruiser show last year but cancelled. I'll drop them a text and see how she is progressing

But will there be a row of camera laden twitchers across from the entrance of the wet shed to see Robin not only leave the nest but checking on any additional or forgotten plumage accompanying him?

Someone say chocolate?

Rather than epoxy, has anyone with experience of it had problems with or thoughts on 2k (2 pack) varnish at all? I guess its the usual story of fine till the surface gets damaged and damp gets behind it forcing the rest to flake and fail - just like the laquer on bonnets of cars!

Epoxy will stick to new untreated wood beautifully and using the method Robin suggests will result in a steering wheel to die for! But.... (you knew there was a but didn't you) epoxy will not bond properly to old varnish, flaky varnish, paint, dirty wood, some woods with either naturaly occuring oil or resin in them or applied oil or wax on them. It will also not bond to wood that had been stained. It will stick to the workshop floor no matter how dirty it is... We use West a lot, mainly for glueing, and have experimented with it over brand new wood with stain on it with a view to varnishing etc. However, if the natural colour of your wood is right then its well worth considering. We will be doing our oak rubbing strakes in West as they dont need a woodstain.

Drive faster chap. We will distract Mr Wildfuzz with pictures of wood turnings for you! And welcome Mr Boatyman sir from me too. There are lots of us here in Herts (Buntingford for me), that's why they had to sort that old A11 out, it was starting to show a groove!

I dunno... he's changed direction on this so many times now anyone would think he's on board a saily

Perfect! Discrete, understated, blends in well and comes in health and safety yellow. Yup, that'll do it

Is this not the same two launches that were sold through Broadshaven early last year? That linked BA press release says 2014 at the bottom...

Only 7... been away too long Did get no 9 OK to though Got no 3 and I think no 6 wrong and had a fat fenders moment on no 2

That's me off the water then

Erm......

On the subject of bss I need someone able to do my hull survey (woodie of course) and a bss at the same time. Currently out the water in a barn in Buntingford Hertfordshire . Can anyone recommend somebody?

There is no "Welcome to Wroxham" sign on the river by the way, however, I am lead to believe it is well signposted by road We all know our way about through experience but map reading is no longer taught in schools and the slow travel times afloat can easily be a factor as well.

A newbie recently had a nibble with Wroxham bridge, got himself out of trouble, moored upstream and then called the yard for advice. The engineer arrives and, after checking all was OK and damage minimal, pointed out to the hirer that the pilot was to be used at Wroxham etc etc. "Oh," says the newbie "is this Wroxham"?...

See, natural selection. I rest my case!

Surely someone wanting a chainsaw will obtain one anyway irrespective of whether it comes from the high street or the internet? If responsibility of use is down to the retailer we had better all return our kitchen knives immediately Before health and safety it was called natural selection!

Love you Griff.

Same here! Excellent but the prices... wow!

Nothing anyone will admit to!

We survived the quiz tonight, well most of us did but Mike managed an unlucky 13 points and won! So guess who is question master next week? Thanks to all who braved the elements and turned up.

Oh, by the way,its 20.30 start and will go on for about an hour or so.

Just a reminder that there is a quiz offered tonight if there are enough participants. Yes, I know some of you floaty boaters are off on the rivers trying to escape but never fear, I will come back next week and catch you all then!!
