Welcome! I always think September is a great month to holiday. Enjoy, post photos and ask questions 👍

Warm day, gentle cruise, cold beer... I've always found it a winning combination.
Although it wasn't us last week, at any given start of cruise we will probably look like a couple in their 60s loading cases of beer onboard
Never been anywhere near drunk in charge of a boat and never will though. It's all about refreshment and relaxation... for us anyway

Enjoy your holiday! 👍

Harley looks very contented, a lovely day to be out on the water!

There are all sorts of ways of looking at things, agreed. It just seems best for all concerned to have those discussions privately and face to face in order that the best outcome can be achieved with no publicly stated intentions.

I don't know but maybe it's an idea to edit that. No point in offering a contribution until you are sure that one is appropriate or expected.

How effective are rope cutters? Our last boat had one but it was never needed... as far as we know.

Thank you, you have confirmed pretty much everything we hoped and planned for with her.
We knew almost the minute we saw her, although our previous boat was lovely it was time to pass on the baton of looking after her.
It was us there on Wednesday! I can see why you love mooring there. Paul is great, a really nice guy and he was incredibly helpful and patient, a pleasure to deal with.
We will be taking her back to our home mooring at Sutton Staithe, Rob the owner is another of the good guys and has gone out of his way to help us many times, a good friend!
Sorry to have hijacked your thread a little, hopefully one day you'll be able to post a photo of our boats moored up and looking like reflections of each other. We will certainly be looking out for you 👍

I have indeed, offer accepted, deposit paid, river trial enjoyed and now just awaiting a survey.
We were very impressed, just what we are looking for.
How do you get on with the air draft, apart from the obvious bridges which we couldn't get under anyway with our DC30

Belated Happy Birthday, lovely photos.
Is Norfolk Lady a Broom 29?

This Broom 29 is now sold subject to survey. Officially that's "Under Offer"
I happen to know this personally 😁

It actually sold in 10 days but the formalities and moving around of money was completed in the last week.

Hi and welcome, we met and had a chat at St Benets on your maiden voyage.. I was walking our greyhound 👍

I think an audience can make some of us a bit more self conscious when mooring... which of course almost guarantees errors 🙂
Always best to laugh at ourselves and come round for a second (third, fourth!) attempt.
Never display fear, that's when they attack 😂

This seems to be another case, as with so many things, of a minority spoiling something for everyone including responsible pilots.
I often see stunning images of our village and the coast and I have never yet heard the drone(s) that take them.
Lots of us are dog owners and you'll all know how we suffer for the irresponsible ones. Same thing really

I know nothing about diesel engines and fuel lines etc. So please forgive me for stating what must be the first thing you probably checked but just in case... Is the engine stop thingy pushed all the way back in.
We have all done it at least once, me more than once... not trying to be a smart ar**

My DC30 currently for sale through Broadland Yacht Agency and Sutton Staithe Boatyard.
A beauty with wooden topsides and a grp hull, the best of both worlds. Cabin sides freshly revarnished professionally. Engine has only run about 6 hours since last service.
Bow and stern thrusters, electric mudweight winch, remote controlled spotlight, solar panels, shore power etc etc.
New electric flush wc.

The one I linked to MM takes its power from the cigar/power socket, that's why I thought it might do the trick.
Not really something I know much about though so hopefully some other ideas will come in 👍
-
I may be wrong but doesn't the 12v "cigar" socket turn off with the ignition?
-
This should do the trick (and several other tricks) Not sure of the sound quality over FM but there are loads of other makes so you can check out the best reviews

Much emphasis was put on the roadmap announcement that great care had been taken in it's formulation, hence the 4 tests and "no sooner than" dates. I think it's fair to assume that the change from stay local to minimise travel was intentional and meant to be a different thing.
Minimise travel is not necessarily about distance at all... You may wish for example to go to your boat everyday but keep to the spirit and letter of the wording by only going once or twice until the next stage.

I think, could be wrong, that they are saying you should still stay within your village, town, area of city. This is at odds with the govt. advice that you should restrict travel.
It may seem like splitting hairs but it makes a huge difference if for example you live 2 villages away from your boat.
Happy to be corrected if I've read that wrong

I think we're all agreed on that 👍
