'B.A' Has been out since the 23rd, and will be into the New Year. They are currently at Malthouse Broad, no doubt expecting to get frozen in once again on any given morning
Anyroadup, I wish you all the best time afloat and for the New Year all those of you lucky enough to be on the rivers

I've seen Robin's videos at Acle ......hope it is a bit calmer by the time we arrive as our tub lives at Acle

Up to the boat tomorrow evening to spend the New Year.
Been to Aldi for provisions so should be all set for a lovely couple of days of food, drink and merriment on board
If we are lucky we might even get some boating in as well.
Anyone else spending New Year afloat ?

For some, but not for all.
I spend a lot of time onboard, I even have Netflix when on the mooring, easier than carting a load of DVDs around.
Also very handy for the weather reports.
Same for me.
I use my boat as a base when I'm working up in Norfolk so I wish to be able to use it as a home from home when I'm on board but not actually boating

We are buying a Falcon 27. I'll try and post pics after we have taken delivery. Obviously its GRP so I wont mention the T word ;)
going from a 20ft to 27ft is enough for us for the meantime ;)
We had a Viking 20 (which we loved) but like you wanted more space and also bought a 27' to replace her.
In our case it was a Shetland 27i and the extra space makes a real difference........Enjoy your new boat

That has to be a better design than the original setup, much less prone damage.
Agreed,
I also think it looks much neater.
The funny thing is that the Shetland 29 is like this so have no idea why the 27 isn't !!

Got the boat back today and George has done a great job.
Very pleased and was nice to get back on the water..............until the weather turned

Did you change the design at all? GRP overhanging rubbing strake seems to make the rubbing strake pointless.
Enjoy the water whatever the weather.
I haven’t seen it yet but George has levelled the platform off and a new rubbing strake has been put the whole way across .
Will know more soon.
-
Update time,
Picking the boat up tomorrow from George, getting boat withdrawal symptoms so can't wait
Weather forecast doesn't look great but it will be good to get back afloat whatever the weather is doing!
I'll post pictures up of the repaired bathing platform once we get Riverlight back.

For blends I favour J&B though of the "cooking Scotches" I find Grants pretty good. I'm not a lover of the peaty ones so for the malts I go for Good ol' Glenmorangie.
J&B is my fav blended as well, closely followed by Crown Royal (Canadian)
I'm with you on Glenmorangie for the malts although I favour their Port casked one the best

Off up to the boat as soon as I finish work tonight.
Got a job do in Caister tomorrow and will be taking the boat up to George at Ludham Bridge as well to get a quote.
Fingers crossed it will be an easy enough fix for him .
