A Plea From Dr Packman Of The Broads Authority
JohnK replied to JennyMorgan's topic in Norfolk Broads News
Nope. I just allowed it to call itself a horse for a while, it’s still a donkey. If we take this analogy further is the BA an ass? [emoji6] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

I wouldn’t expect either of you to say anything different [emoji57] Isn’t who can enter a competition simply down to whoever runs the competition? I could hold a horse race and choose to allow donkeys to race couldn’t I? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

No, I only got forth place in the world championships [emoji6] No, not even close. Jumping off the top of a wave and a bit of surfing on a ski is my limit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well if we’re playing that game .... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have to say I’ve only done a tiny bit of sailing but thoroughly enjoyed it and some of the stuff the two of you have mentioned above looks great fun and very exhilarating. To be fair riding a ski isn’t hard work but it’s a big buzz. Did I mention I have one for sale? [emoji57] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just because it feels fast doesn’t make it actually fast [emoji57] But I’m up for a challenge. You take me sailing and I’ll take you on the back of the ski in a bit of chop and then we can discuss which is closer to sedentary [emoji56] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just Googled single handed Contender. That looks fun! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Perhaps this is exactly what you need to rekindle your youth. Age is only an attitude [emoji6] Flippancy aside, thanks for looking. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’m back tracking .... the BBC are calling it a super blue blood moon. Super blue blood moon: Get ready for a rare celestial showhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-42879001 I think strictly speaking it isn’t a blood moon for us because the lunar eclipse isn’t visible to us (not that I’m making excuses you understand [emoji57]) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I read somewhere that for toll exemption the boat needs to be under the control of a broker, not the owner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I missed this earlier. Sorry. That’s really useful thank you. I’m trying to learn! [emoji6] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ah, but is yours the upgraded version with adjustable head angle for optimal silt collection efficiency? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I think I should. It could be my new career. I seem to be the only person who has one! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cooked in silt for that authentic Norfolk Chinese taste? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

£3 wok was a pretty good find in 2nd hand shop in Stalham! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mark 6 dydle! Adjustable angle too [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did try that but the silt didn’t leave. Possibly I didn’t use enough power. It’s only a 10hp outboard. I didn’t have it flat out. To be honest I’m really enjoying my saucepan dydling and I certainly need the exercise. I think I need a new saucepan though, the handle’s starting to come away. I went to a farm store at North Walsham yesterday and got a long stout pole but they had no dydle or slurry scoop type of thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not sure this one is a blood moon. I’ll go with blue super moon though. I found this: From http://earthsky.org/human-world/what-is-a-blood-moon-lunar-eclipses-2014-2015#next The last one was in 2014/15 and the next one isn’t until 2032 according to NASA. https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/OH/OHtables/OH2014-Tab06.pdf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha, maybe it’s learnt to read ... t’internet says springs occur a couple of days after every full or new moon. The closer the moon to earth (close moons are so called super moons) the greater the tidal range of the spring. If there are two full moons in a calendar month the second one is called a blue moon. Today it’s a full super moon so in a couple of days we should get a large tidal range. And it’s a blue moon as it’s the second full moon in January. I’m sure a lot of you already knew that but I didn’t. I thought this site explained it well (its probably aimed at children [emoji57]) http://www.astronomyknowhow.com/moon-tides.htm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for that. If I get bored of my dydling I will (the silt is useful to me too). Incidentally, is the spring tide on the day of the full moon or a day or two later? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If they didn’t chase non payers (ignoring whether it’s a spurious toll or not for a second) what percentage of boat owners would actually pay? So whilst they may have spend thousands chasing hundreds on a single case I guess you could argue it’s paid for itself by convincing others to pay? Maybe??!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
