As the colder weather starts to set in, I’ve started to think about the best ways to make sure that our boat stays in tip top shape. The marina where she is moored offer winterisation options which we will be utilising, however up until we fully winterise at the end of “our season” we are looking at tube heaters. As first time boat owners, was wondering how much power they draw down when plugged in....ie how much ££ would we expect to have to put into the marina’s power towers if we were to say leave the boat for 2 weeks? We would be looking to have 2-3 tube heaters. Any advice from experience greatly appreciated as always! Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

So once you pass your test Robin, what car will you be driving?? Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

Hi fellow boaters.....looking for some advice....our bilge pump has all of a sudden started to overrun slightly ie once the water has finished being pumped out, rather than stopping (as it used to do), it now carry’s on for a little longer....why / what would cause this to happen?? Thanks in advance for any insightful help. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

Hey Robin...ironically we are up this week (as from tomorrow) and would have jumped at the chance to help you....but typically we’ve invited my parents to come up and join us for a few days as they’ve not seen Second Chance yet, so can’t really leave them on their own....but would have loved to help...hopefully next time the stars will align!! Hope all goes well for you, Griff and crew and I look forward to reading / seeing how Indy gets on. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

I love my coffee and invested in one of these two years ago and never regretted it. Illy are my favourite beans! Whilst on our boat I use a thermos cafetière with Lazy Sundays coffee from Taylor’s. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

LOL....we know all to well with Second Chance what “tinkering” previous owners can do!! Every time we go up we find something new...and boy oh boy did he “tinker”. Shaun and team has been an amazing help to us too. Everyday is a school day!! Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

Donation made. I look forward to meeting everyone at next years meet (unfortunately can’t make the one in August). Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

Thanks! Looks like I’m definitely going to have to wait for next years dates, as the weekend of the autumn meet is the same weekend as my parents 40th wedding anniversary!! Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

I’m so disappointed that I’m unable to come to the meet this weekend in Salhouse (love that Broad....and two weeks ago tomorrow was where I showed the whole Broad how not to get into a kayak from the back of a boat, by spectacularly falling in!). So my question is are there any other meets planned this year? For those at Salhouse, I hope you have a fabulous weekend and I look forward to all the posts and updates!
