I'll see what I can do

Any particular requirements ?

Thanks Jenny, will be up to the boat Tuesday so I have put my order in for nice weather

Have spoken to George at Ludham and sent him a photo of the damage. Just waiting to hear back from him and hopefully get it sorted soon. Thanks for all your help Guys and Gals and will let you know how we get on .

Hi Alan, Side and Stern Sir. CC9J6713 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr We now have two old tyres hanging off the quay on the stern . So hopefully will stop this happening and I will make a spring rope as suggested, that should stop any further incidents. All part of the rich experience of boat ownership I guess

I wish I had thought of that before the damage occurred

Cheers for all your advice peeps. The boat is only six years old but it has only been moored at its present location since January and the damage has only occurred since then. The original crazing happened when we had the extremely high spring tides a few months back which obviously weakened it. We found it broken when we arrived at the boat on Saturday night so I do want to get this sorted ASAP before any further issues. I'll contact George during the week and hope the boat will be okay as I'm not in position to get up there immediately .

Totally agree, Was there last August CC9J8620 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr

Theres always one clever clog.......Never know how you could have guessed

Hi Guys and Gals, Got to our boat at the weekend to find the damage in the picture to our bathing platform. This had already got some star crazing to it where the fenders had rowed up onto the platform when moored up and thus the boat bashed into the quay heading at our mooring. I have since put fenders (rubber tyres) on the quay but obviously didn't work and the resulting damage is shown. Going to try and work out a better way of mooring/tying up so it doesn't happen again but in the meantime does anyone know someone who could repair/make good the damage fairly local to Acle ? I was thinking it maybe a good idea if the protrusion was cut away and made the same as the rest of the platform and a piece of rubbing strake let in so it was uniform the whole way across the bathing platform.

Well done........I mean, nope not in the 'Kent Countryside'.......See, its easy to say that without a slip of the tongue Give you another clue, it's not in Northamptonshire either CC9J6961 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr

Not the Broads but just down the road.........Bet you'll never guess where I took this CC9J7002 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr

Just about to leave Clacton for the boat, looks like its raining up there as it is on and off here! Hope tomorrow plays nice with the weather at Snetterton

Wanna swap tickets?

Well, I really like it, far better from a photographers point of view than Rockingham or Silverstone

I'm up to the boat this Saturday but she won't be cruising. Will be spending the night on board and then driving to Snetterton Sunday morning for the British Touring Car Championship, anyone else on here going ?

I usually whip the Dslr out but I was rather squiffy after a couple of pints of Woodfordes Wherry so stuck to operating the phone as the safer option

Glad you're okay apart from a few cuts and bruises and dented pride. Just shows you how easy it is for any of us to come a cropper. Good to know the anti foul is holding up well though

It's the pathway leading to South Walsham Broad alongside Fleet Dyke. The photos were taken at the top end where Fleet Dyke meets the Bure

It was only a 'Fleeting' glance

Thanks David, I'm pretty pleased with them as they were only iPhone snaps

Close but not close enough

Here is a really big clue, Pointing the camera the other way from the same spot gives me this scene CC9J5564 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr

Nope, looks a good place to visit though

The only wind in the willows was of my making after a hearty breakfast
