  1. Spent the weekend picking up our new (to us) boat. We can now moor stern on, no outboard to get in the way. The Alpha is twice the size of our old Viking and much easier to manoeuvre. Probably more importantly the boss likes it so she shouldn't moan at me for getting in the wayIMG_20181113_125254.jpgIMG_20181113_125321.jpgIMG_20181112_153927.jpgIMG_20181112_153909.jpg

  2. A memorable day for me yesterday as well.
    For a number of reasons I decided to cancel my order for the camo version of the new Winchester SX4 that I placed at the Game Fair and run with a standard composite. It was delivered to my chosen RFD yesterday.
    Can't wait for the 17th. Doing the Canadas before changing guns for the normal driven day. It has a 3.5 inch chamber so a lot of bang for your buck.

    I have a beretta 3.5 inch for geese you also spend a lot of bucks per bang with 3.5 inch shells.

  3. That sounds like a very familiar tale. We bought our first boat, a 3 year old viking 24 in August 2017 and had a really good first year as boat owners on the Broads. The weather helped a lot but we were hooked.
    It didn't take us too long to realise that we wanted this that and the other from a boat, most of which weren't on a viking 24!
    We started looking about 4 months ago and looked at anything that had a very similar set of requirements to yours.
    We picked an Alpha 35, 2 berth with lots of living space. We are picking her up next weekend, hope we got it right this time

  4. On every boat I've owned I've been plagued with spiders and the mess they make, last week I put on one of these electric sonic devices that are meant to deter mice spiders and all sorts of creepy crawlies, went to the boat yesterday Saturday, 29 September and couldn't believe the transformation not one single spider, spoke to the chap moored next to me and was telling him how wonderful this device was and he said yes there are all of my Boat now, had to laugh, As for conkers they seem to work for a lot of people being in the carpet cleaning business I'm always having to remove them from the corner of rooms before cleaning and get told off if I don't put them back.
    What make was it, they are in for a sales boom.

  5. Don't know, I've never tried it, but someone on the forum may have... I'm told that 'goose fat' makes the best roast potatoes though!... :10_wink:
    Wild goose is beautiful to eat I have had lots, I'm my opinion they are also the most challenging & best shooting going. Pinkfeet are the best followed closely by graylags. Cook like braising steak with lots of onions.
    Canada geese stuff with a orange and a brick, roast for 2 hours chuck the goose and eat the brick.

    looks like Broadsedge to me. Could be wrong of course.

     

    M

    It's broads edge marina, channl down to water and pump out where it joins the main river.

  8. I was crossing Barton broad at the weekend on the way to Irstead staithe for a quiet pint. Out if nowhere a broads ranger appears and chases me down. The boss asked me what have I done, I wasn't speeding or anything else wrong that I could think of.

    It turns out he couldn't read my reg numbers from wherever he was having a cup of tea.

    He was alright about it but suggested that mine were faded and that I should replace them.

    When I got back home on Sunday evening I found a supplier on the net.

    www.VinylLetteringOnline.uk

    So I ordered a 3 sets on Sunday evening.

    They arrived today look really good and simple to order if anyone needs any I would recommed.

    A solar panel won't charge the batteries to full capacity when you are on the boat

    That depends on your power usage and the output from your solar panels. If they are large enough they will fully charge your batteries.
