It didn't come home but we had a great time watching it....
Strapped a TV to the back of the boat, lit the bbq and sunk a few cold ones......The result wasn't quite what we wanted but what a cracking evening we had

Just a bit of fun. Knocked this up to reflect on our return to boating this Spring after lockdown.
Music kindly composed and recorded by my Brother .....That gets round the copyright issues

If you're down there when I'm around I'm always up for getting an order of beer in if you ever fancy one or ten
Certainly will

You ever come darn sarf cc?
Yes indeed.....Problem for me is usually timing tides to get under the Yarmouth bridges when I’m up here.
I stay on board when I’m working in Norfolk and it doesn’t always work out right.
I will be at some point though this season, even if it is just to giver her an Italian tune up over Breydon

Does that radar arch fold down at all? Mine flips over easily on my 30DS and usually goes under ludham no problem at most states of tide, I can get down to 8'8" (don't believe the gauge boards, go under on foot with a tape measure).
The Navigation light mast lowers but not the radar. Even if it did, it’s just over 9’ to the roof line from the water so not very doable !
We knew that would be the case when we bought her but the plans are for salty action as well as the Broads. It was a compromise we were happy to make as we have cruised the Ant many times in our last two boats .

When I read the title I thought you'd followed Ian under ludham bridge.
Well, if I tried to take Lady Emma under there she would have indeed been scalped as well!

She's still got her kit off tonight

Just an update.
Fridge is in................Sort of!
Well, it's up and running so that's all good.
What I thought would be a straight swap turned out to be anything but.
The bulkhead behind the fridge had an opening that allowed some of the old fridge to pass through. The old fridge sat proud in it's fixing as to open it the catch was on the top of the door.
The new fridge has it's door mechanism on the front so I thought, wouldn't it be nice to flush mount it.
So.......I bought a flush mounting kit. What I had forgotten in my excitement was to allow for that extra inch of depth that was now needed.
Luckily, my friend and boat neighbour here lives local and had a jigsaw at home. Well, a few broken blades later (six!!!!) and we just had a little more to cut when his Jigsaw decided to get hot, make horrible noises and commit Hari-kari.
So......Fridge at this moment is freestanding. I will be up again this Bank Holiday armed with a new jigsaw to replace my friends deceased one, plus my one for finishing the job.
The good news though.................Beer is cold once more on board Lady Emma
Don't blame me for the choice of beer, it's all I had

All fitted

This arrived in the post today.
Will be going on the clock & barometer tomorrow.......After I've installed the fridge and watched the Grand Prix

I like to pull things apart to see how they work. Plus I could use parts as spares for our Waeco.
Do you want to sell your broken fridge?
Sorry,
Broken fridge has gone to the great scrapyard in the sky !

No doubt the hinges will be wrong way around, ours were which all adds to the fitting time. Our broken fridge lasted less than a day in the marina refuge compound, it was the same with the old toilet.
Luckily the door is pre hung the same as the old one fridge.....One less job to do

New fridge arrives tomorrow.
JPC sadly didn't have any in stock so it's coming from Jacksons Leisure Supplies.
It's an Isotherm Cruise 49 elegance for anyone interested. It was £505 plus another £49 for the flush fitting kit.
I'll be fitting it over next weekend hopefully
