ZimbiIV

Alan, Jill wants to know do you mean her or the otter? I for my health cannot comment. paul

Iain, I hope you are ok, but that is like a post from Agatha Christie, we need to know. As a yorkie to a scot I hope it does not involve a wallet. paul

Travelling down the Waveney to Beccles this morning, Jill at the helm, when bang aloud noise through the hull. That sounds expensive my first thought then a quick look back for a large log! Just in time to see a rather stunned looking OTTER surface swimming in circles! It made the bank okay, but now the question is it aspirin or paracetimal for an otter's headache? paul

We like Loddon but have never wanted to be at the of a river with a hour's journey before deciding where to go. Here 10 minutes down the cut then right for Surlingham/Bramerton and Norwich, left for the rest of the world! Although at 27feet the North Sea does look a bit daunting. Marina, gas, fuel and pump outs available here at Cove. paul

Hi Marina, Wheres the dislike button? joking Sat here at Cove wondering if is safe to go out, in the CAR!! See you around. paul

Where's the before photos? just joking. paul

Please don't call it a parking place, these usually come with a compulsory donation box! paul

Mr G. look on fleabay I bought a square yard of treadmaster from treadmaster for £30, and a sqyard covers a lot, a normal hairdryer will lift the old stuff and meths cleans up any residue. paul

What I do not like about the Broads is the endless carping between wind and motor powered, on the various forumii, BUT don't get me started on worm drowners! paul

Try Tonytugboats, he moved us from St Ives and was very helpful. paul

Well I will not be donating. NOT unless they blow the B????Y bridge up. paul

I wish any government would spend half my road tax on the roads! paul

Alan, hope you have your mifi ready to post (soberish) tomorrow night!!!!!!!!! paul

What do you mean last Saturday post? There's all the little tweaks to report. Good look with the move, think now of your first night on your own boat on the Broads! paul

A word of warning to anyone trying to sleep near one of those poles, fasten the metal rings so they cannot rattle in the wind. I took ours down until I can work out a way. We sleep in the bow and on a windy night sleep was rare. paul

Hi Iain, Have you tried these Swaffham Mobility Centre. Sorry link not working. Try Yell.com norfolk paul

Mods the record is stuck again. paul

Alan just remembered port and lemon, in case MOMA visits with pink mermaid fenders. Do they do red Ferrari fenders? paul

MONEY and more MONEY. One thing you do not need is to visit Nearest and Dearest/Wards etc. They sell things you do not need but well I'm here so I may as well. paul

Hi just got back from Brundall having stayed in one of the chalets, to work on the boat. Jobs done, New lighting. New carpet tiles fitted. New bed covering made and fitted by Jill. Fenders scrubbed up new fender ropes fitted. New antifoul & hull polished ( not by me ). New name!!! We are now Zimbi IV it's a lot easier to type than fenland voyager paul

10 will be a free update for anyone using 7 and above. long die 8.1 it is worse then vista and nearly as bad as OS. Why should a fruit know what is on your computer before you know it is connected to tinternet?

CO alarms should be a must if you have gas on board. Smoke alarms also. If a CO alarm sounds, wave it in the fresh air, if back in the cabin it sounds again get the H?LL out of it. You can not smell smoke when asleep so alarm! Co alarms should also be sealed so you cannot take the battery out. Safety should not be a cost cutting exercise. If your child/grandchild dies because you saved £1 is it worth it?????????????? Sorry to rant but I lost a good friend through him taking the battery out of his smoke alarm for disturbing his sleep. PLEASE you spend thousands on your hobby but how much do you spend on your safety. paul

Heartily agree Strowager, Some people seem to turn every topic into a national park knocking. They need to get of their hobby horses and onto their lobby horses! Stop winging on here, become officials and fight it from within. paul

Never touch the stuff unless it's boiled or fermented. paul

Now that's a bathing platform.
