Is that for a full 4 week share or a half share of 2 weeks? what will the additional costs on maintenance be for the new engine. The last syndicate boat having a new engine cost over £12000.00 plus fitting costs.

Happy New Year everyone. Regards Alan

I use a similar light to the white one, I have used the lighted glasses but prefer my lamp.

My eldest son & family were coming to us on Christmas Day, sadly he is now in quarantine and they have to go to hospital for confirmation tests.

Dear all, Starting on 4 January there will be works taking place on our How Hill 24-hour moorings to replace the middle 100 metres of quay heading timber. We are aiming for there to be little effect on users of the site. The remaining 200 metres of the mooring will remain accessible and the public footpath will be open throughout the works. There will be a portaloo and small compound on the staithe area but this should not impede access for pedestrians. Clear signage and barriers will be in place on site to advise visitors. Also commencing on 4 January are works at our Haddiscoe East layby mooring to replace failing timbers along the length of the mooring. The site will have to be closed for a period of approximately two weeks during the works, which are essential to keep it serviceable. Clear signage and barriers will again be in place to advise visitors. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these works.

For the last two years or so I have not fitted winter tyres but before then I have had winter tyres, grips or chains in the past in Sheffield/North East Derbyshire when we get snow or black ice they are a must.

Looking at the children on the cruiser it is ironic that they are my age or older.

We moor at staithe at Rockland St Mary and at Loddon and Loddon has always been one of our favourite locations, both have electric points but they are limited to the end of the staithe at Rockland St Mary.

That course of action is a sign of deep pockets and repeated repairs We have been there until we wised up and went elsewhere.

Hello Helen, Another tip is to move your bow ropes to the centre cleats before you moor and ideally drop the mud weigh whist coming into the mooring. It can be windy at Surlingham and you may need the midpoint ropes to stop you being at an angle. I hve known it to push you all the way down the moorings if the tides and wind are against you. Regards Alan

Hello Helen, Watch out for the tide when stern mooring at the Ferry Inn, If I am on my own then I moor side on at the last moorings under the trees. Regards Alan

I went for my booster yesterday and I had my Flu and phenomena jabs on Monday so I now have two aching arms. I took paracetamol yesterday before and after the booster soup to now just the pain in both arms.

We have all seen that masks are worn let when we go shopping I always wear one for my and other peoples protection I am glad that this is to be readdressed and to be also in schools but it will be difficult to police.

I always found that using de-icer that it iced up the inside of the windscreen so I have not used it for years instead I use the air conditioning setting.

Another good F1 race.

Boulters are still the cheapest the cheapest on the Broads and with their loyalty scheme they charge £20 for a two tank pump out compared to Brooms £1.51 per litre and £36 for a two tank pump out.

Heading to Norfolk in the morning, calling in Brian Ward's and then the boat and checking into the Holiday Inn North (next to the airport for our AGM this weekend.

That would be great if it happens but my thoughts are that Brooms would purchase it to make their access easier and have more room by the boat lift.
