  3. We will be cruising on Broads Serenade from Monday 10th to Friday 14th,on theAnt, Thurne and Bure. Any forumites that see us give us a wave, there will be 3 generations of the family on board.
  4. Many years ago was Water Rail an exhibit at the museum of the broads? Im sure we went on her when we were at the museum, or am i going mad !!
  5. West Ham season ticket holder here, its not the manager i want dumped in the Broads its the owners.GSB OUT !.WE support the team not the regime.COYI
  6. The boat is to wide for the Ant and Chet, also to high for some bridges, so nice as the boat is its not for me.
  7. So when i was a young boy, late 50s early 60s my Dab would never have a tv on the boat saying"we havnt come on holiday to watch telly ,you can do that at home". During inclement weather we played cards, board games, when the weather was fine we went out in the dingy, fished,went for a walk,flew a kite.We knew how to enjoy ourselves back in the day !!
  8. Ihad my first jab yesterday , had to wait outside in a queue last night for an hour and a half, temperature minus 4.What joy

  10. Hi Robin, New Member, no im not confusing you with the other Robin of Broads Ambition fame, but welcome to the forum.
  11. Hi Griff, ive just watched the film, really great,thanks so much. It must have been a wonderful sight at 50 knots !It was an insight down below, the conditions that my father in law would have been working and living in.I can just imagine him down below placing a mattress against the sides of the boat to plug the holes from enemy fire.

  12. Hi Griff, i have just watched Robins film, thanks very much it was great to have that connection. I remember my father in law saying how fast our wooden MTBs were compared to the steel Germans,but we wernt so good in a fire fight, but had the speed to get away. Kevin
  13. Hi Griff, no i will look it up, and Hylander yes i know what you mean, at least the crew in the photo can see the German boats coming!
  14. Really liked the piece on the MTB, as over thirty years ago it was moored at Oulton Broad yacht station.My father in law was admiring her as he was on MTBs during the war, out of Lowestoft. When the sea scouts heard this they invited him on board to look round, it made his holiday! These are the boats he was on, in the crew photo he is front row second from right.
  15. Thanks so much .Great pictures of one of our favourite places on the broads, especially when the lion is open !
  16. Sounds as if your battery is " cooking ", needs replacing.
  17. Had a meal at the Recruiting Sergeant last Friday,really good as usual.
  18. We went to the New Inn on Wednesday for a lunch time drink and something to eat,It has always been one of our favourite broadland pubs, a must visit and moor.We sat down but didnt stay, think they have opened to soon,what with covid and new owners.
  19. Why not?Pms are there for a reason,and up to the member if and when to use them?
