Dave, as you mentioned updating the site and some have raised the point of social media and privacy I wonder If this link from another site which includes broads boats might be of interest.

ah well, I have had my say, and as you rightly point out Grendel there are many words that MIGHT have been intended by the obscuring asterisks.
Who'd be a f***ing moderator hey
farting moderators, well I never!

With respect, the op said No longer a swear word and if you count the number of astericks the word bloomin doesnt fit (when used in such a manner as it was the number of astericks used matter), but I`d guess perhaps he is wishing that he had used bloomin now!

Maybe we don't have as many accidents...
It only takes one be it on land or water but fair point.

But not everyone on here is either experienced or a boat owner. Some of us are here due to our love of the Broads, with an ambition to get a boat of our own.
Then my words werent for you then.

I am absolutely flummoxed to read that experianced boaters didnt know what to do in the event of an accident.

The word I used is no longer considered a swearword and indeed if you spell it out here, the software filter will not delete it.
Really! Do your grandchildren freely use the word.

Would of thought that you understood that once you add personal injury to an acidential damage claim then things get messy and drawn out!

Really ?? I have loads of times, add in a personal injury and we'll were into a whole different ball game. Insurance companies will wiggle out of anything they can.
You can probably blame the Rent-A-Car Crash mob and the fake injury scams for a lot of it!

Weather cooled down a tad , decided to leave Upton at 19:00 to try our luck at Acle and get some cooler air through the boat , arrived at Acle at 19:45 only available space , after a quick reccie was on the farm moorings ,£10, and wandered to the Bridge Inn , due to the heat kitchen shut at 19:00 and they called last orders at 20:15 for drinks , okay it’s a Monday evening BUT there were 50+ customers enjoying the facilities !!!
returned to Pipedreams , pâté for dinner turning in now after a few Hobgoblins
One of the hottest days in years and they close the pub early, that is crazy!

Hi who are the Agency's for the On Shore Power now ? As to setting theses Electricity prices by pre payment meter card that should not cost that much as to Standard Key meter at Home. I believe?
Just like at home there are different suppliers for the owner to select one and sign a contract. As to a maximum price tariffs for moorers I dont know.

Soak a hand towel or drying up towel in cold water, lightly wring it out and place around your neck helps to cool down.

Still £1.99.9 at Tesco here for diesel. Coincidentally (ha ha) the two cheaper independent garages that I use round these parts are both undergoing upgrades to their forecourts.
No suprise there as the retailers are the ones keeping prices high rather than the goverment.

Or:
“Is 3.7mph Too Slow in a 4mph Speed Limit?”
A leisurely cruise down the Ant when, passing How Hill I hear a “BEEP” from behind. I think that some kind soul is alerting us to a loose dinghy or some other problem but, no, “I nearly rammed you!”, shouts the helms lady, approximately my age(58) or older.
Apparently, we were going too slowly. I check the GPS. 3.7mph. Check speed limit. 4mph. I thought the GPS was a little slow as I was always told to watch the bank, a brisk walking pace equates to 5mph approx, and this looked fast to me(although the bank is close here, accentuating the speed effect). Anyway, we're on holiday and can do whatever speed we like, under the limit of course.
Soon afterward they come steaming passed, a smallish private cruiser sending wash everywhere. My brother grabs his Iphone and videos, stating his intention to report them to the Broads authority for speeding(wind-up!). These guys are clearly indulging in the wrong activity! Sure enough, at Ludham Bridge they were moored getting supplies. Brother asks if all that rush was worth it, to which she shouts abuse about a complete donkey or something.
The "lady" sounds like an oik as my sister would say. Sadly such behaviour can be found behind the wheel of a boat, a car and pushing a shopping trolley in a supermarket but glad it didnt ruin your holiday.

Smelly petrol in my car, the very thought. Good idea thank you...
I am afraid it is a smell you will have to suffer as there are no petrol stations once onboard.

I would bring a can of petrol with you.

I had that problem when ordering the huawei one, some of the pictures showed the antenna socket, but the fine print said not with external antenna sockets, but i did get the one I wanted in the end, the problem is they sell the same model number with and without the sockets. so be careful and read the description.
Im reading that the website is out of date and online sellers are basically cutting and pasting the info unaware.

generally, I would try and avoid kits designed for boats and caravans, they tend to be quite basic and expensive for what they include. They trade on ease of installation and being a one-box fix.
I would look no further than a TP Link MR6400. It has a reasonable degree of configurability but is also plug n play out of the box, just power up, insert a sim, and away you go. It comes with 2 detachable antennae which you can remove and replace with high-power external ones if you wish and is reasonably priced at around £60
Im reading that the current ones have non removable antennaes

Well it would seem that he has none left and will retire at the end of this season after racking up 300 starts.
