following on from the discussion about river bottoms and local features , can somebody enlighten me as to how " The Heater " at the northern (?) end of Barton Broad got its' name please .

thankyou Grace

no need for apology Smellyloo , it was a good point that you made .

if anyone is offended by my post then i apologize , and will ask the powers to be to remove it . thankyou

forgive me , i had no intention of blaming anybody , what i tried to do was highlight the stupidity of lighting what appears to be a gas barbeque on a clearly moving boat .also i asked for thoughts about what will , would or should happen to persons caught or filmed doing this , as i said i certainly would not have them back on any boat i hired ( if i were a hirer that is )

if you skip forward to the 5 minute mark you'll be able to see what i mean

No doubt some of you have see the recent video on youtube of the gentleman using what appears to be a barbeque ON a boat , now i'm no expert ,but i would consider this to be beyond stupid , i was wondering , what would happen to these individuals now that this has been uploaded , sure the boatyard that had welcomed them would be able to stop them from going back , do any of you have any thoughts on this matter , the reason i ask is, because if i, were a hire yard owner , they would certainly not be hiring one of my vessels again . if you haven't seen the clip , it's on youtube under the title " £300,00 boat experience down the norfolk broads "

Hello John, names have been added , i'll bring some of my Mead for you to try .

so the end of the long wait is finally in sight , it has been 49 weeks to the day since we booked our holiday for this May with Richardsons of Stalham , i must say i really can't wait is becoming and understatement of monumental proportions , it also appears that the weekend we are on Crown Gem 4 , is the weekend of the May meet at Salhouse Broad , so with anything like luck we shall see some of you there

My wife used to row for our city club , she caught a " crab " nearly took her out of the boat .

you'd not want to catch a crab in an eight , it hurts too much

thanks lol i wouldn't want to get infected with " River bottom "

can anybody give me some more info about this polease

thankyou Andy, as long as he is ok .

hello every body, we are getting rather concerned about Geoffrey from "the Corsican ". there has been a distinct lack of updates on his youtube site , does anybody have any info about our comrade ?

how the weeks fly past , already in April for goodness sake. still on a lighter note just over 5 weeks left until we can get back on the boat , not that I am excited .
