While we as private buyers can afford to buy the big boys leftovers after they have finished with them, I wonder how many of us will be able to afford The latest batch of 45 footers when they no longer have a use for them, personally I wouldn't give you a thank you for them even if I had the money, which I haven't, extremely satisfied Hampton owner and proud of it

There's one good thing about this, there will be no double mooring even with permission, stopping at Yarmouth should be fun.

So no visiting Ranworth In the summer season then, as no room two moor same as every year, roll on winter

Okay Polly, thanks for trying great idea but obviously not as good If only one-to-one, never mind as you say try again later regards Ted

Brilliant quote nice one, maybe look good on the BA website

Hi Polly, yes brilliant idea have sent you my email, regards Ted

I live 78 miles from the Broads and quite often will go there cruise for a while more up have lunch come back to the mooring and then home no problem, would be far better if I could sleep on board and take in a long weekend but there and back in a day is better than nothing.

I thought number 25 just as important, I would hate to go Sober

Believe me I miss them as well, One of the simple things I learnt was how to make a decent Yorkshire pudding mine never Seemed to rise which meant a very disappointing toad in the hole,over time I have made so many of the recipes and following instructions to date have never had a failure. But when we finally manage to get back on our boats I think everybody will be too busy cleaning sorting things out and getting the boats Seaworthy I mean Broads worthy to think about cooking, let's pray it Is soon.

Very good excellent edit, that's a drink you owe me when the pubs are open again LOL

Porn drop-in sounds good to me :-) but being serious we use Zoom For our committee meetings normally about 12 to 14 people on at a time, and normally the sessions last for about an hour, and depending on how you set the controls I prefer gallery view where you see everybody and the person speaking is highlighted, or you can choose to highlight just the speaker which means when somebody opens their mouth they fill the whole screen scary or what, anyway found the programme very good I realise there are others but for the time being I'm sticking with zoom

I was insured with Edward William mainly because at the time insurance companies needed a full survey on a boat over 25 years old where Edward William didn't, But as from my renewal last year changed to navigate and general, about £60 more expensive but thank God I did.

Hi Griff, I guess cost of enjoyment which I should've had But still paying for that's what (being polite) annoys me a little bit :-)

I know how you feel a great loss of enjoyment, me being a private boat owner has cost me in the last four weeks since lock-down £460 not to use my boat, and if this is to go on another couple of months it will really Upset me somewhat

I suppose the only guaranteed way to exit is in a box, and I am going to take my bike with me, Probably have to take the bloody wheels off though

That's not in one go that was just my normal 10 miles a day

Hands off the cyclists, at the moment it's the only exercise I get suffering from gout walking long distances is out of the question, last week I managed to cycle 50 miles, and just this morning 21 miles, without meeting anybody and minding my own business, quite honestly I'd rather be on the boat but that pleasure has been taken away, but luckily not the bike so as I said Hands off.

I have to agree I was there last summer so convenient for the village with the pub and shop combined, it does seem so very Long time ago, I wonder if we'll see it this summer?

Yes welcome to the forum Green Jack, and as Griff said welcome onboard think we might have to delay the onboard bit a little longer you'd be lucky to get to Norfolk let alone anywhere near the good old Norfolk Broads

I have a job in two weeks time in an empty house unfortunately just heard that all property conveyancing has stopped, which probably means the job is off, so the words shagged and ass come to mind,Can't even go on the bloody boat sod it

Grendel know how you feel,I have been waiting for two years now to get my electricity company to fit electric and gas smart meters, the booking was for tomorrow, early this afternoon they cancelled the appointment telling me it would be eventually re-booked,and then another email informing me that I can't visit the boat owing to the fact the marina is closed,as luck would have it I went to the boat yesterday and sort of did a mini layup knowing that I possibly wouldn't be using it for at least a couple of months owing to this bastard Virus, anyway such is life

Yes the Rolls-Royce of electric outboards, you need to speak to Marine tech South Walsham as they stock them.

Very disappointing news but as said quite understandable, but hey a lot of us will still be out on the water be it self isolating in our boats, just not meeting up for a bit of a jolly, a big thank you to the organisers who have Organised everything only to have to cancel the event refunding monies Etc.

Safe to do Boating on the Norfolk Broads, but staying away from the official national parks
