A batteries weight in fuel will always go a lot further than sulphuric acid!

Hi Griff and although I'm not a boat owner and my knowledge of boat electrics is limited, but if the batteries are linked, it is possible you might have a bad apple in the mix and sucking the life out of the good batteries? Just s thought.

Griff is too young for a Volvo,

So we know there is more than a few concerning this subject!

Not if you use your torpedoes first. Rookies hey! It can be rocket science for some.

And they wonder why the likes of me get a bad image of BA! (For clarification I am referring to the Broads Authority and not to Broad Ambition)

I always thought it was Saturday, and Monday was a good time to moor in other yards?

I always remember some years ago when I was behind this double decker on my motorbike, and the slogan on the back of this bus said something like "Go Green, Catch a bus". When it pulled away there was this big puff of black smoke and I could hardly see the advert or the back of the bus.

I recently said I would pick up the bill for a family meet meal recently(on impulse) £100, but the meal was good which for me was £15

You had me hooked at (our staffie) Great write up and all the best, and I do hope your boat does leave you a few bank notes left in your wallet!

Well I'm just waiting to fit my boat out with a couple of torpedo tubes to help out the situation. Plus they will help out with those flappy things that have intoxicated sailors that meander from one side of the river to the other.

I'm sure we had only just started our holiday and it was a Monday morning, and I reckon one of their crew got a kick out of banging on our roof so early in the morning while our curtains were shut.

You make me laugh MM In World war 1 and 2 our front line "People" dodged bullets, in your world they cut grass!

It's nice to know, as I thought NBD was a no go area for other boat yards. Or did you have like I did, someone bang on your roof 8am in the morning saying that you had to move on. Good times :(

So why not make a fresh start and do so!

You didn't mention if you were a private boat owner or what boat hire company you were with!

So do you know if NBD will let other hire boats moor at their boat yard for free?

That's what I like about the moderators on here, so diplomatic!

Now getting back on track because as usual, JF has been hitting the bars rather of late! I noticed on the HW webcam a few weeks ago that one of the NBD boats were moored there, and in the past I believe it has been mentioned the same boat yard will not let any other hire craft moor at their yard. If I have got this right, NBD needs to give a little here, if not, they may be taking the P I double S

Better late than never!!!!!!!!!

Also what I have learnt from these forums is that Rangers tend to treat general knowledge as rocket science. There day seems to be going up and down the broads, trundling along in their boat, taking down boat info, watching speed of boats and if anyone is abusing 24hr moorings or fishing out of season, they will not be man enough for confrontation. Please correct me if I am wrong!

What I have learnt on here that the BA are like your local council, they are wannabe MP's, but haven't got the gift of gab!

At the end of the day the broads are a wonderful place to be, and basically any pile of crap that seems to resemble a boat, should be removed and scrapped. On my first day ever on the boards I ventured up to Norwich and coming across a few sunken boats and that lovely piece of graffiti on the bridge, it definitely put me off from visiting that part of the broads again.

I'm a fishing man myself and when I'm on the broads, I will slow down when I come across anglers and if possible, will cruise to the far side as possible.

I haven't watched the video, but even if it's low voltage, the installation of the sonoff switch looks worrying!
