It's good to see some different ideas being tried out to solve these issues, shows somebody somewhere has an open mind, hopefully it will be a success

Love that pic of the hollow tree at Salhouse, reminds me of one of me aged about 4. Must be one of the most photographed trees ever I reckon

Hello and welcome from me

Wayford bridge to Paddys Lane moorings with mudweight down a few years ago, in my defence neither myself or my Dad (the only people who would normally do so)had deployed it in the first place!

I spotted LO09NEY on an Audi R8 last night, it was doing bang on 70 up the inside lane....

According to a song I heard recently I compare very nicely with nothing....... No mention of something or anything though she did bang on about fancy resturants n such

No worries David, hope it works out for you

David, just wondered if you had seen the ebay listing for a share in Goosander?

Binge watched them all right up to date over yesterday evening and this morning! All very interesting and a joy to watch! Thank you for sharing Polly

Generally I can spot whether a boat is hire or private and often whether it originated on the Broads or elsewhere but I wouldnt say I could do it 100% of the time...

Anyone recognise this little fella? Made me chuckle

Congrats, I had a nosy at her a few weeks ago, looks a lovely craft:)

Hello and welcome from me

One of those sold at Wayford Marine earlier this year so at least one is still about somewhere....

The Sedan is also currently listed on Boatshed Norfolk, looks a nice little boat tbh.

I have always admired those Scorpios for their style but im not too sure about practicality, they seem a bit like sitting in a car in terms of the seating which might become a bit annoying if you want to spend much time in one, on a boat I like to be able to move around a bit more. Also, I'm sure you are already aware but will say it anyway, depending on the weight of the boat n trailer and tow car you may need to do the additional trailer test if you go for hardstanding type storage. With regard to the engine power requirements, where theres a choice I'd usually go for a bit than you need on the better to have n not need principle. Also a speed boat always looks a bit daft with a tiddly motor on it imho

Ah crossed posts

Do they do range extender type things that plug in the electrical sockets like you can get for wifi?

I had been wondering that same thing, perhaps it doesnt actually go to earth as such but goes back to the unit where some kind of electronic trip would cut the supply if necessary? Just an idea? Also isnt the point of bonding the dc neg and the ac earth to prevent current being discharged into the water? I could very well be wrong about most of this, I have been researching this kind of stuff but a lot of the info out there seems to conflict.

Well for me it was Stevie Wonder and Paul Mcartney with Ebony and Ivory......

Now I cannot be sure of this but I strongly suspect that had that chap not gone in after the little girl then the outcome would have been tragedy not celebration. I firmly believe that in the moment nobody is thinking about being a "Hero" they just do what they feel they should.

I think it would depend on who it was that had fallen in, for example my niece(aged 9) fell out of a canoe on my folks mooring at Malthouse Broad last weekend and my reaction was pure instinct- Get Her Out!, I didnt go in as it wasnt needed in that particular instance but I know I would do if she was in immediate danger as I simply couldnt live with myself if I didnt do everything I could to save her. An adult stranger might invoke a different reaction in me however. It worries me that being told not to go in after a person could stop people from doing anything to help, you often hear of people just looking on as incidents of all kinds occur and I know from expirience the feeling of being frozen to the spot when something bad has happened. All in all its a complicated topic and its always easy to look back and say what Should have happened but if you werent there then how can you judge a persons reactions.

Nice! Remember folks whenever possible a workshop should be made at LEAST 5 times larger than you ever imagined you would need it to be......

Currently Moored at Salhouse Broad just now heard an almighty bang/explosion......any ideas folks?
