A week on the broads, stayed in potter heigham in one of the chalets with a day boat hired for the week with it.
i can honestly say I've never seen the broads as quiet, and we've been regulars on them for the last 15 years, here's hoping someone has a brainwave to kickstart these wonderful rivers and amenities

Robin
great blogs, great crew and an epic tale, I myself enjoyed every minute of the trip, thank you for sharing.
good job you didn't have me on board, I'dve been groundbaiting the whole journey, really looking forward to see how you're adventure pans out mate but with your enthusiasm I'm sure it's going to be plane sailing from now on.
best of luck on that beautiful boat

You sound like a person that likes the last word and happy that Robin had a few problems, why? Because he didn't listen to a few knowitalls?
The crew that Robin had assembled was more than enough to cope with anything that came up and so it was proved, Griff has spent years at sea as he has told us.
yes Robin had a wobbler, the decision was to put him ashore, they could've tied up there and waited but they chose not to, they had the expierience to make that call.
no one was harmed, the boat delivered, I think that's the problem you've got and fwiw I think it's a bitter and twisted mind
jealousy gets you nowhere
apologies if I've upset anyone else

Well the way I see it Robin, and I'm not sure I can really explain it that well, you share things because that's the way you are. It's something you enjoy doing and I'm sure many many people enjoy what you do without being judgemental. You're like an unedited TV programme which happens to be better than most edited TV programmes. The fact you're willing to share makes you a sociable person, enjoying others company and the interaction that brings. Indy will be a social boat because you are on it with your welcoming attitude, and I'm sure you'll come to love it.
I was in Brundall on Wednesday and walked over to Indy hoping you'd be there to say hello, I'll probably be there again next weekend and will have another go, I'll bring the wine. It seems you have that effect on people.
As far as YBW is concerned, I've read all that. They treated you awfully at first and TBH (for most of them, not all) it seems like more of a willy waving contest over there.
Good post and very true.
Robin, anyone that's treats an affable guy like you badly is just jealous, simple as that and not worth the time of day, leave them to rot in their own sad self indulgent lives.
The amount of people that subscribe to the captains blog must speak volumes.
The amount of new posters that signed up because you were sharing a story with a new boat and crew moving a boat halfway round Britain also says something.
Your a personality Robin and a likeable one at that.
now get that captains head on and start enjoying yourself again, were are all behind you 100%

It was a great 4 days, everyone that loves boating couldn't feel any less intrigued in the voyage of Robin and the Indy crew, with everyone showing their support.
this is a great forum, it deserves all the like minded people coming together as it did last weekend, keep posting peeps we've got something a bit special here, let's build on it
cheers all

Wow, mind you if they hadn't had to fight currants and tide I think my 1623 would've been near enough right....................or not

Loved every minute of the saga, brilliant, good on you Robin and your awesome crew. Look forward to seeing her on the broads this summer.

Griff and team Indy
although you can't do your final leg you should hold your heads high, that was an epic voyage in some nasty sea.
imo Robin has some mighty fine friends in you lot, you can see by the 60+ pages the amount of Nbn willing you lot on.
you can't beat things out of your control Griff, hope you've all had a good feed and are putting your feet up with a well deserved pint or 6
anyway, thanks for taking us along, it's been a great trip even tho most of us weren't onboard
take care all
Pete

As I said n another thread, but Charlie's comment on the first leg consumption (I suspect most broads boaters/owners could survive on it for a year or more) of more than 200 and less than 1000 leaves a LARGE margin for error.
Not put a public number on it myself but have a thirsty seagoing boat and a good idea of what it'll take but what the heck, I privately have a figure in mind but that depend wholly on the weather an tides and how many can judge those,i It's all a throw of the dice for the punters for the prize.? Good luck
Of course it is, so many variants but it's a bit of fun with a good number entered
come on, what's your secret number??

I wouldn't hear a word against triumph.
i had a bonneville t140v and apart from the trade Mark oil leak it never let me down.
the old Brits bikes were excellent engineering back in the day, along with norton, bsa, royal enfield and Vincent to name but a few.
god showing my age now aren't I 😂
