Happy Jax 3

Approximately 1metre Adam

Thats great news Wayne & Tracey Nice to see Sea Jem where it belongs. Well done Tracey, any phobia is hard to break, it would seem you are well on the way to breaking this one. My phobia is snakes, I can asure you this will go with me to the grave, as long as there isn't a snake in it of course.

Hi Wayne See link below, from memory these locker paints are available in grey. http://www.boatpaint.co.uk/acatalog/Boa ... ts_50.html

Just caught up with this thread, Well done to our very own Mbird. I suppose I will have to invest in a copy of Anglia Afloat now.

It was good to catch up with you and the crew as well Ian, please thank Heather for that much appreciated cup of tea at Hamilton dock. It did make me laugh though when the guy on the radio at Lowestoft control called you by your first name, which threw you into total confusion. Clearly you go through Lowestoft far to often. Anyway Mark, remind me why the inebriated young lady thought of the lover element? Have you had your hair cut yet. I must say Mark you have certainly mastered how to helm a planing boat over the last couple of months and your use of trim control to improve comfort levels was impeccable, especially in the conditions we were met with on Saturday. Anyway, thanks for the invite Mark, enjoyed every bit of the weekend. When asked where would I rather be, working on the kitchen or out on your boat? I don't think I need to answer that.

Great shots Perry Snowdonia definately holds some of the best scenery in the uk.

Well done Mark You will have salt running through your vains soon.

I think another photo shoot event may be in order.

Nice pictures Jill, its nice to see activity back on the Broads. Good to see you are getting to grips with your camera.

Yes, I have to agree Adam, Claire certainly caught the action shots.

When you do get a flat clam like that it is so eerie, mind you it is time to put on the water-skis. I think even HJII would have coped with that.

Your more than welcome Ian, There certainly has been some great photos taken. I think I need to take a lesson off of Adam, some great shots on your web site.

Easter Sunday can only mean one thing, The great Easter egg hunt at the RNSYC.Lets all get to the starting point. Jupes laying down the ground rules.And their off.Can't you find any more eggs Harry Let's have a divvy upAnd of course there is always a 'SPECIAL' one , Luke you just can't help yourself, it's such a shame you have that fixed expression. The Mbird crew jumping ship. And finally back through the lock and invade the Waveney River Centre.Happy Jax II pretending to be a Sealine. A great time had by all, can't wait until the next one.

After a walk up onto the South Pier to take a look at the sea state Myself, Jonathon & Mark made the decision it was a go!! It was approximately a half metre wave height. Little bumpy but good experience for Mark's first venture out. Thanks to Jonathon & crew for taking out Lou and the boys on Crackerjack who were also joined by Wayne, Tracey & kriste. I joined the Mbird crew on their maiden voyage. Well, out of the harbour into what only can be described as a fairly lumpy sea. It had chopped up in the short time from our original checks. That's the North sea for you. Le Grand Cru following us out Sea Hunter looking splendid on top off the waves.Sea Hunter not on top of the waves. Crackerjack at home in the conditions. Le Grand Cru climbing the waves.Clandestine, well Ian being Ian being chased by Luke in Relentless.A couple of Binky Back in the Harbour of the RNSYC and Phil & Carron line up the glasses for some NBN Salty Bottom celebrations. Can you spot the cork? The final instalment on it's way soon.

Made it through the lock and out on the salty stuff. Crackerjack, Binky and Relentless went on the first shift, then we had a lock all to ourselves. mind you we were able to lower our canopy so the road bridge didn't have to be lifted straight away. Didn't want to upset the locals too much. Lake Lothing on what turned out to be a glorious moring, you can see some other salty bottoms of our fleet catching up. Waiting for the bridge too open. Crackerjack in her glory.Being blown around waiting for MBird & Crew and Trevor & Sue to catch up for the bridge lift. Stand by for the next installment when we go out beyond the harbour walls.

Well back home for a day, started fitting the kitchen and just sat down to post up some pictures of the Salty Bottom Easter Meet. But first both myself and Lou would like to say a special thanks to Ian & Jonathan for organising the event and what an event it was. It was great to catch up with old friends and make new ones. Glad to see you found us on the NBN Robert, Rebecca & Mason. I sense a Sealine section of it's own developing on here. Thanks also to Andy (Notorious) for getting us through Somerleyton Bridge so swiftly. Lets start with some pictures. Happy Jax II tucked up in Oulton Broad Y S. You can also see Alan & Maggie's boat Sandpiper (Boycee) 2 boats along.Crackerjack & Clandestine moored on the outside.Mutford Lock before the onslaught.Sea Gem early morning on the day to go salty side.Sea Hunter all ready to go.As well as Serenity. All hovering around in the wind waiting for our lock slots.More to follow soon when we are lowered down into the briney.

Same here Mark , That is why I ended up with a Banana yellow one, now you don't think I brought that do you. Just got back home after a seven hour run back to Wayford from the WRC, followed by a two hour drive. Absolutely cream crackered, so I will post up some more pictures tomorrow on what proved to be a very successful meet.

Hi Ian, please put us down for 4 at the RNSYC. When have we ever refused food.

Is that because you let the RNLI take care of your return trip after going aground.

In my experience Luke, be prepared for a very long night to get Mark into a state of signing such contracts.

Yes Luke You can have electric at both OB Yacht Station & RNSYC.

Come on Jupes what are we doing
