I'm sure many of you already know of and have used The Sewing Ark for flags, pennants and burgees
As we have a new boat and last year, like several of us, a new dog (a rescue greyhound) I asked Gina to make a new burgee, sending details of what I was hoping for and an image to see if it could be used.
She far exceeded my hopes as you can see below, I would recommend her work without hesitation!

Iceland have already issued a statement about Christmas being cancelled.... I think they'll find that it's Greenland's call not theirs 😉

Well, in cases of genuine hardship maybe the way forward is to help them rather than punish them. Make them feel part of the Broads network rather than an enemy of it and they may be more inclined to follow the rules that are for the benefit of all.
I realise of course that saying this is far easier than doing it but it is possible and you have to start somewhere.

The problem does seem to be increasing, on a simple day out cruise last week I noticed at least 3 nice spots permanently out of use.
There must be an answer surely, no one benefits from the current situation.

The hoped for build up at Winterton didn't happen, the Beach Cafe succumbed to encroachment and was demolished a while back now.
The only realistic answer would be to build huge defences all along the East coast which of course can not happen due to the extreme cost.
Holding the line is over in effect except for a few commercially viable spots. For the rest of us it's surely going to be managed retreat whether we like it or not!

She's a beauty, I think it won't be very long at all until she is sold.
It's a wonderful thing you're doing for the grandchildren 👍

That's it! You also hit the nail on the head, my photo is upside down, although I didn't realise at the time 🙂
I wonder why the previous owner flew that one, it's quite possible I guess that with 3 pennant poles it was simply bought at boat shows/jumbles over the years. It has faded significantly so I'll retire it as part of the boat's history.

It seems not unless it's an old one. They currently have this mermaid in a stripy blue towel.

That's a good idea, I'll google Nanni 👍
-
Found aboard were 3 old but usable pennants, one is Volvo Penta but we have a Nanni engine.
The second is the original style Broom red star and crescent which is entirely appropriate and will be flown.
I don't know the third one which is where you knowledgeable folks come in please?

Good result 👍

While I was cruising up and down Womack the other week, hoping Malanka would leave lol, I noticed what looked like a new basin with just a few boats moored up.
Is this a new marina does anyone know. It's a location that would suit me perfectly and I wondered about availability and prices!

Don't feed it to seals then....
LOL I could put a fish down the loo a couple of times a day! 😁
Thanks for the info and good point about the planet 👍

We have been doing this too but didn't someone say the Blue can harm the seals? Something like that (I don't know much about the toilet - but I'm looking into it 😁)
I wasn't sure if I should stop putting dilute Blue in the pan or not?

I don't personally know anyone who goes online to check the Food Standards official rating before going out to eat. Publishing the results by the EDP and here is a public service in my opinion If a business has allowed their premises to deserve a rating of one then they only have themselves to blame.
4 minutes ago, Mouldy said:In total agreement with that! Having had Campylobacter a few years ago, I can say without any fear of contradiction that it is something I never want again. I couldn’t knowingly eat in premises where food hygiene is so poor as to warrant such a low rating. I could do with shedding a few pounds, I know, but losing just short of 1.5 stone in a week wasn’t pleasant.
Had a very similar experience, hospitalised for a week and genuinely thought I was going to die during the first morning.

It was only £20, which is incredible value I think for a bespoke item 👍
