so called sealed, remove sticker on top of battery filler plug underneath.John
Yep, did exactly that
Griff
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.

Monday morning is one of their busiest days with all the weekend short break boats returning.

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.

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 Nyx and I did our best to enlarge the opening!
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.

Were you moored in the section they reserve for their own returning boats? if so I would suggest you would get the same response everywhere, NBD do not allow Private craft or those from non federation yards in but do accommodate any boats from federation yards subject to available space.

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.

I was moored at 'deep go dyke' when a ranger boat turned up to do some grass cutting. The ranger apologised for disrupting the peace and quiet as he cut the grass by my boat. I have nothing but positive comments to make about the BA's front line people.
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 :(

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

HW have always let all hire craft moor there for free. It's a Broads Hire Federation rule I believe.
So do you know if NBD will let other hire boats moor at their boat yard for free?

surely you are just saying here that they are doing their job, checking boats are registered and tolled, warning boats that they are exceeding the speed limits, I am sure they also check for overstaying on the 24 hour moorings, is fishing within their remit, or is that a different department (i dont know the answer to that one), as for avoiding confrontation, well that too is their job, to warn people in a nice manner, without allowing it to become an incident.
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

Warm welcome to the forum BroadsAuthority :)

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!

As I’m new to the broads in any depth (no pun intended) I’ve been amazed to learn how comprehensively unloved the BA are.
Is there one particular “man in charge” who is responsible for every decision? Or is it a committee that by vote come to the wrong decision?
Are they out of touch with the real needs? or just misguided in the execution of what had the potential to be the right thing to do?
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!
