I totally agree 🍺😁

I knew I should have changed her name to something more alliterative 🙂 Days afloat 6 Nights it was cold 5 Pubs 4 Crew Mutiny 3 ("discussions" when mooring) Dog vomit etc. on bed 2 Third party lunatics 1 Things that went wrong with the boat 0 We all had a lovely time, must do it again soon 🍺

The Holy Grail... 1st time in 3 years! The ham hock and asparagus tart was delicious 👍

Today, for the first and I hope the last, time I submitted a report of another craft to the BA. I am not a complainer and generally shrug things off with a live and let live attitude. The craft in question overtook me at speed on my starboard side between us and the bank and then cut across my bow giving my starboard bow quarter a glancing blow with his port stern quarter. I keep thinking was this in any way my fault but I was simply cruising at about 4mph and there was a wide empty river all around us! Have just moored and happily we have sustained no damage. I obviously won't name the boat here but it was not a hire craft.

I didn't know there was fuel/pumpout at Womack, where is it located please?

Updates often seem to bring glitches, it's good that you have it sorted out now Chris 👍

Thurne Mill sails were turning today. I haven't seen this before so held my new phone in my left hand, out the window over the river while also solo helming 🙂

Nooooo! I meant me and Gill and the dog! As you well know 😂😂😂

I forgot.... we haven't met for that pint yet! 😂🍕🍮🍰🍔

That's our official height although with full tanks, a couple of people aft and the nav light mast down we could probably scrape 8' (scrape is not a word I like in this context)

Great photos 👍 Looks like a beautiful day! (I didn't realise that Somerleyton wasn't always passable. I've had too many low air draft boats!)

"Thinking about making an offer" "Battery failure" Norfolk Lady knew.... boats have feelings you know 😂

That's brilliant Carole 👍

We still have to wait for pictures of your boat???? Some of us are nosey you know! 😂😂😂

She just looks so good 👍

The old Pontins site at Hemsby was very unlucky with several outbreaks of fire before planning permission was given for housing.

Just to observe that, as someone who knows nothing about running a business, this morning Herbert Woods is a hive of activity. The staff, who Ive always found helpful and friendly are all over a row of beautiful shiny craft taking aboard bed linen etc. ready for holiday makers. Let's hope the sun keeps shining, they have a wonderful time and return often 👍

This is the 100% most important message to keep in mind on the internet 👍

She's lovely! Wishing her a speedy recovery 👍

A lot of fun to be had with inter service rivalry. My family (not me sadly) were well represented in the RAF, a good friend and also Gill's dad were RN.. well placed insults abound 😁

Possibly.... 😁

I had to google uckers.... There is an additional definition to the board game in contemporary slang, those of a sensitive disposition have been warned! 😱

We bought simple/cheap Bluetooth earbuds for our phones from Amazon. Just a free phone call on our joint sim plan and you're good to go. However, we just about always forgot to use them and gave up altogether when we changed boat to something where it was easier for me to hear every expletive. Edit: to add, these were the type with built in mics

That is exactly what I have found 👍

Interesting about the pressurised water, thank you. As for the blue hose... I'll have to look where it goes next time as I hadn't actually noticed it!
