. Where I'm moored in Brundall the only phone signal I can get is Vodafone so we've both had to switch to that. The only problem is their App and call center are both absolutely diabolical. If I hear the phrase "I will surely help you with that Mr Steve" ever again it will be too soon

My shower pump is very quiet, and automatic. You'd be hard pushed to hear it unless you lift the deck boards. :) Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

Thanks guys. You up next weekend@Mouldy ? Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

So how's it going? Well I've been here for nearly six weeks now and I'm loving it. I have popped home twice, the first time a few weeks ago for a couple of days and last week I popped down for just over 24 hours (about 24 hours too long). I couldn't wait to get back. We have settled into a routine, with Debs here every weekend and coming up one night during the week (usually Wednesday night). The great news is that when she told her work she would be looking for a new job up here they offered to let her work remotely for part of the week so she'll be here for a majority of the time. Ebay deliver Click'n'Collect to the nearby Sainsbury's and Amazon do Local Collect to Brundall post office for smaller parcels although have have just ordered from Amazon for delivery to the boat as a test. If the parcel arrives tomorrow we are sorted. I would say I wish we'd done it years ago but realistically we weren't in a position to and who knows, maybe the timing was just right now. Steve

Can anyone point me to an idiots guide please?

Just occasionally they have a rack of ribs on the specials board (not on the menu) and I always look out for these as they are really nice. If you like ribs :) Steve Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

Currently advertising for engine builders at just over £9 an hour. Quality engines they will be :)

Last time we went by some crackhead was sitting in the doorway with a fire burning against the door. We rang 999 and a fire engine, accompanied by police, were sent out. The police rang us back later to update us but they didn't find the crackhead. Still, he probably would have only got a slapped wrist anyway

1/2 share is now sold.

No it's not just you @Jayfire CCTV is becoming the bane of our lives. It seems that every time I have need of it their is always an excuse why it doesn't work. Funny that, it always seems to work when it's to my detriment in car parks and the like.

Hi Paul I am in Mid Rivers Harbour by the NYA service center :) Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

£1.20 a liter. I didn't fill right up. Just enough until I go down to Goodchilds but I'll do that when I go to Beccles or somewhere. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

From Swancraft (yard next door) and it seemed rude not to go for a little trip On the way Me "put he kettle on Les" BCE "where's the kettle?" Me " we, in my car I think" Doh! Luckily the Surlingham Ferry House came to rescue. Who needs tea? Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

I have thought about trying it then I think about how the majority of anglers seem to be as miserable as sin. Why do something that makes you that way? Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

You out all week @Vaughan? I'm in Brundall this weekend but will be coming north later in the week.

I have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about this and as I understand it those lights are illegal, interfering with safe navigation or summat. Maybe @Wildfuzz could comment?

Hmm, a bit of dog pooh that will bio-degrade and be gone in weeks or a plastic bag that will be in landfill for a 1000 years? Now let me think.

Well I have just ordered 5 pairs. 3 pairs for wire and 2 pairs for tube. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

Thanks for that@Trambo and it was nice to meet you last week :) Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

I'm going to have to be careful which I buy because we have rail on the bow and stern with wire in the middle. I'm bound to get the numbers wrong on the first attempt but I will keep a few spares anyway. Mind you, if I keep too many spares of everything there will be no room for Debs clothes!

Oops can't edit on the app but I might need more. I have seen than at £12.95 a pair and I might need more. I might order a few to try and I can always use them on Freya. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

I reckon about 5 pairs. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

Not including the initial investment it it about £200 per week plus fuel and pumpouts :) I reckon the equivalent hire, averaged over the year, would be in the region of £800 per week Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

Due to the purchase of our own boat we are reluctantly selling our shares in Moonlight Shadow. We own an 8% (four week) share and a 4% (two week, summer and spring) share. They are currently up for sale on the BCBM site at £2500 (8%) and £1500 (4%) Details of Moonlight Shadow can be seen here. https://www.bcbm.co.uk/boats/broads-cruisers-page-127.html We are prepared to let these go together at the bargain price of £3500 for the full 12% if you come to us direct. Six weeks a year on the Broads!

Does anyone have any experience/views on these?
