Glad to hear it. The siesta is really only going to be used as a day boat and once a year as an accommodation block for grandchildren, the trouble is the grandsons keep growing, one is 6' 2" at 14 and the 12 year old is catching him up. They no longer fit easily into the shetland. I would love a calypso again but at 28' it gets expensive to moor and toll. We nearly had a Hampton 12 years but opted for the Calypso. We are keeping the Topliner as it is idea for how we use it. The search continues.

Tempting 😇

Twice the price of a similar one that has been updated and had a new engine in the last ten years or so. Optimistic I think.

I missed out on the Siesta 20 but keep being drawn to Calypso's. They are too big for what I want and over my set budget, but I did enjoy the one I had on the Medway. I have been issued a very firm NO.

We had a flying visit, it was good to put more faces to names and see the beautiful woodies. The owners were so welcoming and happy for people to board and have a look around. I am in awe of the time and skills devoted to preserving these classic boats. I found my dream boat, needless to say it was vetoed if it ever came up for sale. It was beautiful, shiny and impractical, ideal for me then.

Now operational.

Go via the sponsors link below, I couldn't see a share option either.

I removed the wiring and left the fitting as it is on tiling. My excuse is that it adds to the character of the boat.

Good afternoon all, We have been informed by Network Rail that due to a mechanical fault, Somerleyton Swing Bridge is currently unable to swing for river traffic. The train line is also affected. We will issue a further update when we hear more.

I think this is the one.

It is August, I know it feels like autumn but it definitely isn't December. First mention of the Santa

The weather is looking good for the weekend, low 20s and dry.

All those old buildings made the surveyor in me twitch, not enough to come out of retirement though. I forgot to add that it also has a Cathothlic church. The population is only 820.

The pen is mightier than the sword, but news print is in a league of its own

Yesterday we decided to visit Walsingham after Matron had read a book based there. It is a very interesting place, it has the Abbey ruins, old courthouse, oldest original Methodist chapel, two Greek lead Orthodox churches, one based at the old railway station. The Shrine to Our Lady of Walsingham. The Shrine is high Anglican and Roman Catholic, it also incorporates an area for the Russion Orthodox church. The building is from the 1930s and replaced the original destroyed Holy house with later extensions. The original well was uncovered during the 1930s work and is incorporated into the building. Although the village is very quiet, the shrine and grounds are enclosed and very peaceful. The whole area has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries. The CoE church is very old but feels more modern as it was rebuilt in the 1960's after a fire but is also High Church. Most properties are a few hunderd years old and are well preserved. Well worth a visit. The Abbey ruins The CoE parish church The original font, defaced during the Reformation. Interiors of the Shrine.

Thanks, Bigger than I need and bigger than my budget

Probably best to use PMs to keep your personal information secure.👍

I have viewed it but I suspect the floor is soft in one place and the canopy is slightly out of line. All can can be rectified but the price is a bit high.

The pump was slightly out of line to the pipe run and I suspect that over time the vibration has caused the tight fit of the insert connector to wear away material on the pump body as even the new pumps insert leaked when I tried that on the old pump first. It is now fixed square to the pipe run. I have a used Max 4 at home that I was going to replace the shower waste pump with as that one is getting slow. I should have packed it for this trip but forgot it. Typical.

Thanks Wherrynice, thats the only one I have found, had a look at it and like the layout but I can't think of anything similar.

I am thinking of changing the Shetland Ideally I am looking for a sub 23' diesel on a shaft with a sliding canopy and a proper door. So far all I have come up with are Siesta 21 and Ensign 21, these are as rare as hens teeth. Any other suggestions ?

The water pump had been activating when it shouldn't over the last day so this morning I took the bed up to see what was going on. The pump was dripping from the slide release connection on one side. A new o ring didn't sort it out so it was off to Brian Wards. The depth of knowledge and the excellent service Nick and Tanya provide is second to none. I was going for a same size replacement at over £250, Nick suggested I could drop down a size with little difference to pressure, and it was over £100 cheaper. The hose sizes were different to the old connection, Tanya came up with a couple of fittings to solve the problem. I also got the 10% NBN discount It is sadly rare to find this level of genuine customer care these days, Thank you Brian Wards.

I isolated this when I got the boat. Tomorrow I will remove the wiring to be on the safe side.

The photos and videos I have seen have pollution barriers around the sunken boat and oil absorbing pads. Thankfully, no other boats were damaged.
