  1. I normally phone up the B.A. to top up my cards, but they are available from a number of locations where you can pick them up Tingdene Marina Reception and Brooms to name but a few.
  2. Many of us have said this all along and if we stop buying electricity from Norway & France it will take even longer.
  3. If you have worked or lived in Burton upon Trent you hardly need the sandwich if the wind is in the right direction.
  4. called into our local Morrisons this morning a there were no queues so I went around the barriered way into the fuel station. I filled up for just under £32.00 what bugs me is the way we were sold down the river by the industry when they charging by the litre. In all honesty would we not be protesting at the price of £8.00 per gallon (UK).
  5. Good afternoon all, Notice is hereby given that J Murphy & Sons Limited will be undertaking site investigation works of Somerleyton Swing Bridge using pontoon drilling platforms and underwater divers. Vessels may be temporarily restricted and regulated in their movement in the vicinity of the bridge from Monday 11 October until Sunday 24 October 2021. The operation of the bridge will not be affected by these works.

  6. On the BA tide tables they are and it is why owners with higher air drafts use them.
  7. I go onto the Broads Authority website to check out the tide tables, I have done this for years since we first started coming to the Broads.
  8. Good afternoon all, High water has passed and Breydon Water is now open again to hire craft. The water is still choppy due to the wind so please exercise care and caution whilst crossing.

  9. Hi Peter the diversity factor has always been a flawed concept especially taking electric cooking into consideration with anyone that actually cooks. Regards Alan
  10. Dear all, Breydon Water is currently closed to hire craft due to adverse conditions created by the high wind and tides. We will re-assess once high water has passed this afternoon.

  11. Our local Morrisons had two deliveries of fuel yesterday but were closed again this morning after selling out, no doubt there will be deliveries again today.
  12. I had a notification on my phone yesterday regarding that BP had closed some of their petrol stations due to BP issues with their tanker drivers. Needless now all the sheep have come out of the woodwork. I would have to be desperate to buy from BP anyway.
  13. On varnish I mix the following and rub down with wire wool:- One part methylated spirit, one part white vinegar, one part white spirit, half part linseed oil mix well and pour into a pant kettle or dish a little at a time. Regards Alan
  14. Hello Peter I did the same on Ranworth Breeze four weeks ago and will bring another bottle down in November when I come down to Norfolk for our AGM. Regards Alan
  15. Dear all, Notice is hereby given that on 25 September 2021 between 19:00hrs and 20:00hrs an illuminated boat parade will be taking place at Womack Water. Please note, any vessels navigating in the area may be temporarily restricted whilst vessels taking part in the event make their way from the dyke entrance to Womack Staithe. Please follow any instructions given by the Ranger team or safety crews present. Kind regards, Tom Tom Waterfall Senior Communications Officer Direct dial 01603 756034 Broads Authority Yare House, 62-64 Thorpe Road, Norwich NR1 1RY Please note that my normal working hours are 8.30am – 4.30pm Monday to Friday.
  16. We have taken advantage of the winter discount on carpets, canopy. lounge, forward and upper helm seating.in the past. Needless to say with most Norfolk suppliers delivery dates and deadlines are regarded as advice rather than instructions. Regards Alan
  17. That is a matter of opinion. Each to his or her own.
  18. Our second canopy was made by Custom Craft, my opinion was that the designer had never been on a boat, the leading edges of zips were located behind the upright frame rails which made it difficult to engage them. Our new canopy made by Jeckells addressed this situation, we paid extra for clearer plastic windows and anti rot stitching. The cost of the latest canopy cover was only about 20% more than we paid for the last canopy cover in 2010. We have gone back to Jeckells over the years for stitching work or replacement panels, sadly accidents do happen. Regards Alan
  19. In the case of the unfortunate lady that was killed at Yarmouth had a propeller guard been fitted to the boat it may have saved her. Maybe this could be be an option for the MAIB to consider for hire craft.
  20. The trouble with all the boats pictured is that they have little or no side access, I prefer boats with boarding ladders.
  21. Good morning all, Just to let you know that Somerleyton swing bridge is operational again. All the best, Tom Tom Waterfall Senior Communications Officer Direct dial 01603 756034 Broads Authority Yare House, 62-64 Thorpe Road, Norwich NR1 1RY Please note that my normal working hours are 8.30am – 4.30pm Monday to Friday.
