There is a greener solution to all this. What you do is put a big stick in the middle of your boat, from which you hang some big bits of cloth, and the same wind that is used to drive these wind farms that charge all these batteries can drive your boat instead. Cut out the infrastructure altogether. Could catch on!

There doesn't seem to me that there is any requirement for experience any more. I remember looking at hire brochures from years ago with the requirements of certain boats only being hired to experience crews. Yet I, like many of you I'm sure, have seen too many of these boats, stuck under or against bridges, as happened yesterday at Potter Heigham, or high and dry on approach Breydon Water; it seem that any numpty can have a go, regardless of the cost of the boat.

Tea, coffee, Scottish wine; whatever we got!

Hi Ian. We shall be out on the water for the first full week of September; will keep an eye out for you.

Hi Ian. The boat is moored at St Olaves marina.

Hi All. Thank you for allowing me to join the network. I have been an active boater from as early as I can remember, and have had many holidays on the Broads as well as on many of the other waterways of England. I have also, though a long time ago, done a lot of off shore sailing. Having moved back to near the broads, I decided to jump into the deep end and finally buy my own boat, which is a Pegasus 800, now named Sovereign Grace, which is moored on the Southern Broads. As much as anything else, this was a health decision, as I am a busy pastor who desperately needs to take proper time off. Having enjoyed the relaxation of the Broads over many years, this seemed to be the best thing I could think of to do. If you see the boat moored up round the broads, be sure of a warm welcome. Cliff
