[What Does Bridge Height Actually Mean?]

Something to ask Robin to help achieve with his new acquisition (stc of course)

It was glorious, certainly better than yesterday in the rain -- I looked like a drowned rat

Yup she did

Looks lovely,bet it's cold 

Not too chilly , oil radiator keeping the boats interior nice and snug overnight , and a cuddle under the duvet always helps 

[A Bright November Morning At Ludham Bridge]

Moored overnight at Ludham Bridge after squeezing under , water is high this week .

Beautiful clear sky this morning , we’re moving Cerise Lady to her winter berth in the wet shed 

[Disabilities]

Dependant on level of disability and the careful selection of a suitable type of boat then there is no reason why not .

we often see fellow boaters who have a disability enjoying the beautiful Broads and all they have to offer (although getting older means  Katie no longer feels up to climbing St Helens tower nowadays )

[Big Changes Ahead]

Good luck from us too Robin 

[Do You Still Wave?]

We nearly always wave and usually get a wave back. The only exceptions are a certain misguided type of Broom, Freeman and Saily owners, who think they are some form of minor aristocracy and are so far up themselves that they are wearing themselves like a wig.

I hope there is a special hell for such people.

 

Makes me glad that the Broom Owners Club deemed my Ocean 30 unfit to join them then

Don’t know your budget but if it stretches then our own Admirals pride and joy is available at NBS Wroxham and even though I have only been aboard once and for a short time only she appears to be an excellent buy compared to others if a similar age and condition

[Been A While, So Guess Where]

Yes Katie , when you read this thread , we can go there 

[Let Off Steam In Here !!!!]

Dinners that say feeds four 

and mean to say feeds four provided three aren’t feeling hungry 

[43 Years]

Congratulations Charlie , commiserations Inge ,

no seriously all the best from Kate and I , reminds us of my father muttering “I wonder how long this will last” when we were signing the register , well so far 33 years , I guess sometimes kids do know best 

[Been A While, So Guess Where]

Is it in Hoveton nature trail (don’t recognise it and have never done the walk so presuming by process of elimination)

[How Square Is Square?]

Reminds me of a joke I was told years ago concerning two engineers watching a blacksmith at work and commenting to him that in their work they have to be accurate to within a thousandth of an inch , prompting the old blacksmith to state that he prefers his work to be exact  

[Been A While, So Guess Where]

Is it part of the Pizza cabin outside the Ranworth Maltsters ?

[What Boat Should I Be Looking For?]

The need (wish) to pass under Potter will restrict your choice greatly , and very very few will pass under at all times  (even if the vendor says they do) .

We decided that we would forgoe passage through Potter , and eventually our choice meant that Wroxham was also a no go so be prepared to modify your wish list 

 

[What Boat Should I Be Looking For?]

Waterside are selling a couple of their picnic boats which can be very easily converted to a double berth

[What Boat Should I Be Looking For?]

If you want outside space 

A bounty 27

more internal space 

Hampton safari (25 ft)

 

obviously without knowing budget etc is difficult to really know what to suggest but the two above start at about £5k for a rough bounty up to £25k for a tidy example 

 

what i would recommend is avoiding if possible a petrol boat as isn’t available waterside so means carrying fuel from a garage , and don’t jump in too quickly , Kate and I spent over a year till we found our ideal boat 

 

 

 

[Do You Still Wave?]

We always wave like insane idiots , but that’s probably cause we are !!

 

it brings a smile to our faces when we see the obvious glee a youngster gets when their wave is enthusiastically returned 

[Smacking Children Scotish Law]

When your youngest is over six foot and weighs 18 stone it’s not a good idea 

[Tolls - Speechless]

The trouble with no increase would be in the future when they use it as a reason for a much higher increase , a 3% increase although unwelcomed is not unexpected ; perhaps with the extra income more moorings may appear but I won’t hold my breath

[Let Off Steam In Here !!!!]

In Cambridge a rather famous physicist insists on using his “Dalek” in the middle of the road holding up all traffic , often I think that one day someone won’t spot him in time , guess he can experience his own “Big Bang” then
