Hi everyone,
Just a brief introduction, I'm already a member at the other place, but I thought I'd join up here, knowledge is power et al.
I'm James, been on the broads twice before in a former life, once on Brinks Sonata (too small for a week, with two people and a dog, ask me how I know...) and once on Fair Jubilee (a beautiful craft, perfect for two people and a dog).
My partner (Emma), my dog (Jangles, a Patterdale terrier) and I have booked Brinks Omega for the first week of October this year and I literally can't wait. Ems has never been on the broads before, or a boat (aside from a small rowing boat at my dads place, and a ferry) likewise the dog (he hasn't been on a ferry though). Brinks, thus far have been nothing but helpful, so full credit to them, very flexible with regards to payments.
Not sure of a plan at all at the moment, love the Ant, but dubious about Ludham bridge in an 8'6" boat when the tide times are rubbish (v. early morning and later afternoons), so may take myself out the comfort zone and go South, never done that before.
Anyway, less brief than planned, but now you all know a bit more about us. Attached is a picture of Ems and the hound, you don't need one of me on a restful Sunday afternoon.
Have a good one!
James, Ems and Jangles
