Don't know what I'm missing but why not leave both bridges open?

I normally get 4g on my phone with vodaphone, but never really checked on its reliability. My mooring neighbour as a WiFi hub so I will ask him next time I see him what network he uses

I've spoken to Mark several times over the past year, despite new routers etc, you still keep losing the Internet, add the fact that everyone it goes down you have to log in again, makes it a waste of time for security use. you need a mobile 4g for that purpose

Boats broken into in Brundall over the last two days, also believe one in acle and one in Norwich!!
-
Does anyone have one for sale that they no longer need
-
They can be adjusted at either end of the cable, to a some what near position. no two engines respond the same to the to the same amount of throttle movement, So you will never get full sync unless you use electronic
-
You should be able to make acle easy enough, but on the way up, stokesby, stacey arms/mill,

Simply because my boat is designed, and indeed certified, for inland waterways and not vice versa!! Although the Broad Ambition boys have taken their boat to sea, it is not something you do without an enormous amount of preparation and fore thought and very careful check with the forecast!
If you want to cruise at sea regularly, buy a boat capable of doing so and certified accordingly and, I guess then moor it where you can use it properly! Don't moor it on the Broads and then moan you cannot get in and out when it suits you, and not the railways or GYBC!!!! This is not a new problem with the bridges!!!!!
You miss the point my boat is a sea going boat certified for the sea, it has been to Torquay, south coast, Jersey, France, Belgium, Netherlands etc. I do this a month of the year, the other 11 months I enjoy spending on the broads. I've spent the last fifty yrs living and being on the broads and still enjoy it,
So just because it dosent suit you I should move elsewhere, I don't complain about the bridges, but they should do what they where built for "openning"

Ships are held at anchor by the length of chain, not the anchor itself. Usually the chain is three times the depth of water.
The anchor is designed to pull itself into the seabed when it is pulled by the chain, so it is anchoring the chain, not the ship.
Most "grounds" for anchoring are sand or gravel bottoms, so the bottom of Barton Broad would not be appropriate!
when does a boat become a ship ?

I really don't understand these people keeping a sea-going boat miles up a river. There is not much more than a grands difference between Brundall Bay and Suffolk Yacht Harbour.
But there again for sea cruising East Anglia is a bit dire with a few exceptions, compared to the South Coast west of Chichester and the whole of the west coast of England, Wales and Scotland.
Why do you keep a boat on the broads when your only a mile from the sea.

It probably doesn't make that much difference whether you throw or drop. one thing that can help it to hold is to ensure you have plenty of line out. at least 3 x the water depth.
Don't forget to allow for any rise and fall of tide

Does that mean you will be spending more time on Norfolk Lady or have you other plans?
We seem to spend less time on the boat since retirement

No, the sails are up and liable to take over should the wind puff up, as can and does happen. I do sometimes leave my motor in tick-over but only as a very last resort, maybe to give me steerage in very low winds whilst tacking, equally I could use a quant or a paddle! I might use the engine to ensure that I remain head-to-wind whilst lowering my sails however I would be under power and would rely on an understanding and courteous helmsman on the powered boat, there are a few about!
If your engine is running you are classed as a motor vessel _ full stop!
