Jonny its 2 days since your last holiday post and everyone is waiting for the next instalment,pretty,please.
-
Looks like a lot of work to me even if it was free,i have too many hobbies at the mo to even try to do it up.
-
Hopefully Julz we will be back 2 days after the meet,bad timing that.
-
Well nothing has appeared on here since the begining of July we are on the boat...YIPPEE !..from the 31st for a week.... has the fishing improved ? Thanks peeps
Seen plenty of people fishing from boats and the banks but not many seem to be catching anything,but i think that is more down to not preparing properly.
Baiting the swim,not the right tackle setup or bait etc CAN make a BIG difference.some people seem to think that you just stick a few maggots on a hook and Bingo a fish appears,does not work like that hence one of the reasons why they don't catch big fish another reason is due to the recent hot weather,fish get lethargic and dozy when the water is warmer and eat less.I always favour fishing in the very early morning or later at night.
-
Sorry Olive and I can't make it Julz as we will be on Holiday,would loved to have come,but if this swine flu escalates to Airports and they stop people flying then we will be there.

looking for some advice
we maybe down for a week maybe longer in August & looking to repaint Curlews top is there any sort of paint people would recommend??
Jonny
Off topic jonny,remember the forecast mid august temperature will be 40C !! yes,don't forget your suncream. Paint you could spend a fortune in the marine shops or go in Roys DIY and get some gloss,probably does the same job but cheaper,but don't quote me on that.
-
Cracking story geoff,anymore to drool over,must be.
-
A new website i have found.
Thought i might give this website another aire.
-
Anyone caught a fish yet??
-
Will your boat be ready in time for the southern meet dave?
-
Not long now for you budding fishermen Rods at the ready!!

Just been thro wroxham to le boatyard and it seems they are 30/32' Brooms boats with a fixed roof saw about 6/7 there and there is also 2 more at Horning marina to high to go under wroxham bridge so take it they will be transporting them by road.there were 2 men working on cleaning the boats asked them what they were, got a mumbled mjtyacxbv!! so don't know, but they are definately Brooms saw the name on the side.
-
not arrived yet,altho there are 2 nice looking boats moored there at the mo nice n clean.
-
Can't wait.
Did not know you fished Col?
-
Less than 14 days now to the BIG cast off on the broads,anyone ready for it.I am.

Yes had a great weekend met the usual people,mbird,happyjax2,boaters,flying fortress,boycee,aquaholic,broads ambition,etc saturday night with John Collerick and Boycee and christine and maggie on bongoe's were fab,BBQ was great met lots of people came last in the welly wanging but was not bothered as did not have a trial run which i think we all should have had .
but never mind we won the TOP prize of a short break in one of Richardsons boats looking forward to it as they are a great company that looks after there customers so that they come back time and again.
have to say the weather was absolutely great warm and hot at times with just a hint of rain on monday night .There was a quiz that you had to find certain clues in the area we got one of the lowest scores as probably the reason was i just want to chill out on a meet and not tax my brian too much each to there own.
On sunday a few of us decided to motor to coltishall for the night followed by a good night onboard Tot Tyme.Monday some of us flying fortress,Boycee,Tot Tyme motored to ranworth staithe followed by a night in the maltzers.
all in all a great weekend.AND it has to be a record of seeing around 30 Heron's in such a short time.
-
Now where did I leave them maggotts!
JohnT
And me JT,not long now.

Well managed to peel off my old 30 years old Mankey carpet using carpet solvent and when i peeled of the pld carpet used a very strong paint stripper(name escapes me)which got off the thick gluey substance finishing of by washing the residue off.now ready for fitting my new carpet tiles.
-
Hi,Jupes, Have spent most of my boating career at sea so know a bit about the effects of most things required to get under way and proceed with safety as do some other people on here,i must admit i prefer the sea side of boating as it is more exciting and you need to think more of what you about to do,ie; passage planning etc.But now as my wife' Olive's back is not too good we have swopped our Sealine 270 for a Bounty boat for easier boating for her.But i still hanker for the sea time.

Barry.
All sorts of solvents discussed there and as someone has already stated could be really quite dangerous in the confines of a boat.
Just a thought and it will be painstakingly slow but if an impact adhesive has been used can you lift the edge and whilst applying upward pressure pare away at the glue layer with a stanley knife. Alternativly have you enough room to use the old carpet as an underlay for the glue. Incidentally as suggested in one of the links for superglue water is in fact a solvent for superglue, or so I was told by the technical people at Loktite, takes a damned long time though
Hi,Gordon,the carpet underneath is so manky that i have to get rid of it as you don't know what lurks in it you can catch all sorts of deseases from somethings.
-
Thanks to everyone who has given me advice on removal of adhesive glue substance i will try anything.
-
hi barry
if theyve used one of those impact adhesives it could be a really nasty job.
i googled impact adhesive remover and came up with this

Thanks Jill,I have bookmarked this site for future refs as am going on hols this monday for 3 weeks so will have to try it out when i get back,Ta.

Hi Barry
if i was around it would soon come off but i might lift the floor boards off instead
jonny
Thats what i am worried about Jonny.
-
I used a hammer, chisel and a power sander one time! Messy but effective, assuming more carpet is going back on again when smooth and if nothing else will shift it. The glues do seem to vary in whether you have a chance or not... so fingers crossed it will come off
Dan
There must be something Dan that will de-glue the glue for want of a better word,someone must have been in the same predicament.Trouble is you have to try and protect the wooden flooring at the same time.

I have had a Vodaphone mobile now since i found Orange signals crap around 2 years ago,i could not even get a signal in my living room so i changed and most places on and around the broads it works ,only place where it can be a bit patchy is Horning but that goes for most providers.
