  1. Fingers crossed a week on Saturday for us. hope to have a few days, up to a week out. I've bought a drone to see if i can get some good photos. Still learning to fly it, don't want it to end up a submarine.
  2. Was looking for a folding table for the boat the other day, a company on Amazon advertising an Ikea table at about £360, Looked on Ikea's web site, the same table is £150. You do the maths!!

  10. Nice to see you Peter, sorry we didn't stop, yes we have had a great week, it's our honeymoon. Two good days up at coltishall, Potter last night then a good run back to Beccles today. The weather has been fantastic. Just said to Elaine on the way back, had some admiring looks from other boats again, i dont think i would sell the boat even if someone offerd a silly price for it.

  14. A quick update, the wedding goes ahead tomorrow, myself and my wife Elaine will be heading to the boat on Sunday for a weeks honeymoon, i will be putting some bunting and banners on the boat so if you see us about give us a shout, if you are moored near us i'll apologise now if there's any boat rocking happens.

  18. It's on another post, think it's a Bermuda 34.
  19. Hi, did we see you on Oulton broad last Wednesday? Paul.
  20. Even after 14 years owining it i still enjoy the drive there and back, many years averaging twice a month. Apart from one other time this was the longest time since just before lockdown that i haven't been to the boat. Can't wait to be able to stop there overnight again. Hoping for a week from 8th august for our honeymoon if the wedding can still go ahead on the 7th.
  21. Today saw the alarm get us up at 5am. By 5.45 we were off, boat here we come . Not looking a good day raining when we set off and drove through some heavy downpours all the way to Beccles. We arrived at the boat by 9.15. When we got there, unloaded the car and Elaine got the bacon on for sarnies before i set to work washing the boat down and Elaine started a deep clean inside, starting from the front cabin back. It was still showery out and the boat was wet but easier to wash down. It started to brighten up mid morning. About 2pm decided to have a little cruise up to Worlingham for a little late lunch, when we got back did a little more work before packing up for the drive back home. set off back at 6.40pm and got home about 10.05pm after one of the quitest runs home ever, hardly any traffic on the road. Here's a couple of photo's of our little cruise.
