Did we wave? I guess it's easy to mistake the two boats. Both lovely sedan cruisers.

After watching those videos back.....Time to scrub down those decks me thinks

Were you the Haines that was moored there ?

We hit the giddy heights of 24mph

Went out early doors Tuesday to catch low water at Great Yarmouth for a run over Breydon. We are 10' airdraft with the navigation mast and VHF whips lowered. There was about 9" to spare. My brother was out on the deck just to keep an eye on the clearance. I won't mention the fact he forgot to put his life jacket on Slightly dodgy phone footage from a Facebook live video I took on our run back over Breydon towards Great Yarmouth. We were doing a speed run to test the newly fitted turbo on the port engine. Everything spun up nicely so all is good....

Finally got a chance to take Lady Emma out this Tuesday for a speed run. The good news is that all is working well and the turbo is kicking in nicely. Was an early start to make low water at Great Yarmouth. After all that, it was time for lunch at the Acle Bridge Inn ...

Another championship richly deserved...........Well done Lewis

The thinking at the moment is maybe just have a blast across Breydon and back again the Sunday after next and then back to the Marina. I'll put off a weekend over to the South till we have a few more hours of daylight available to us. Edit.... Having said all that.....We will be on Neaps then.Any idea what sort of bridge clearance at low water you would expect to see at Yarmouth on Neaps?

Good plan

I wish......The pleasures of work get in the way though

Looks like another weekend isn't going to go ahead ! Spoke to the guys at Yarmouth yacht station and worked out that getting back from Surligham to Yarmouth for best bridge clearance would mean leaving at about 05.00hrs. The weather forecast is pretty grim, I've got a bit of a cold and I don't fancy navigating in the dark and damp whilst blowing my nose every two minutes I'm hatching a plan B as I type this!

Me too

New turbo all installed. All being well we should be on for our run across Breydon and stop over on the southside on the 2nd/3rd November. Will wait until next week just to make sure all is good and then hopefully book Surlingham Ferry up for the Saturday evenings mooring and grub :)

Slight delay in the turbo fitting so unfortunately won’t be out on the water this weekend. Looking at tide times it will be the 2nd/3rd November when the water levels are in our favour for a weekend jolly across to the South side. Hopefully turbo will be all fitted early next week so will keep you all posted on the progress.

Cheers Jay, There will be a pint with your name on it when we do get to meet Sir. Forgot to mention......I Will be in the White Horse at Upton Friday night

Looks like a beer or two will be in order then

Hi All, Update......A replacement reconditioned turbo is being fitted this Friday. Also having new clear Vetus raw water strainers to replace the original black Volvo ones. Going to have this weekend out to check all is okay and will do some running over Breydon to giver her a blast. Saturday afternoon/evening we shall be moored up for the night at the Surlingham Ferry to take on provisions.....Food and Beer If any of you guys/gals happen to be there on Saturday be sure to say Hello. Weather doesn't look very promising for the weekend but I will try and get some photos/Videos of the weekend.

It won't disappoint

Best thing to do on threads like this is put ‘Spoiler Alerts’ in the thread title and maybe a title such as Japanese Grand Prix . I won’t mention how the BTCC is progressing

Welcome First Mate Tina to the Snowbird Crew

I like your thinking

Hi Mel, Welcome to the forum. We are also moored at Acle Marina with our boat Lady Emma. It's our third year moored at Acle and we love it there also. Be sure to say hello if you see us on board..........The kettle is always ready for a brew.

That's the plan

I might be missing something but the engines have just been serviced last week including new oil filters and oil replaced?

The engines have just been serviced including all filters, impellers, oil etc. This was when the turbo problem was discovered
