Have good time with your crew and may see you around

Thanks Col I thought you were talking really early so there is a chance we could see him as we are normally about at that time.

Great pics Col,we moor there and have heard him but never seem him.What time was that then ?

Mark ,Page 119 May /June edition .Picture of two clinker dinghys at Brancaster .You can pop into Smiths and have a free peek Col

Nice to be the bearer of good news Mark

I think there will be more than just "creative juices " flowing Simon

Surely Colin you would not want him as a brother ,would you ???? Beter take the other option. We shall be keeping an eye on you two Saturday

Reading through this current issue of Anglia Afloat and thought one of the photos looked familiar ,and it was ,I am sure one taken on the last NBN Photo walk .A mention in there that "Brancaster Clinkers" was submitted by our own Mr Mark Bird ,well done maybe you can post it up Mark?

Saw Princess Anne was there today according to the local paper,Bet she did not go down on the beach though ! Link http://www.northnorfolknews.co.uk/conte ... 3A30%3A060

Excellent pics Simon,as you say we get carried away with other stuff .The comment about the Pheasants are only to valid .We arrived at the boat the other day to find one had flown into the side and was laying on the side decking, unfortunately having gone to the great aviary beyond.Puzzles me how they get that big as they play chicken on the Walsham road expecting you to stop and there is always several laying at the roadside who did not make it.

Looking good Col ,you will have to have "in at the Front and out at the rear ,signs " ,as they do at the boat shows,when you give tours at the meet.if you have any more bits to bend we have a steamer you could use if you wanted.Look forward to seeing you all .

Thanks Dave the pub I knew was in the Hadhams and you pulled the chain in the well and up came a massive kettle! now I stopped you all wondering about the "OTTER " .The pub we did use most in the area was the Hoops ,the publican Arthur provided most of us with memorable pre wedding Stag Nights .Ah those were the days ,now its Dublin or Prague or somewhere equally exotic.

Hi Dave ,was that the pub with the " Largest water Otter in the world " must be 40 to 50 years ago ? Much Hadham ? I had a feeling that I heard that it is no longer there .Shame it certainly was unusual.

Looks like you had a great time ,how far did you get ,look forward to seeing more pics.

Hi Clive will look out for you over the weekend "passing through" You will be the one with the Blue Nose then ???

Hi ,just back from a week away and would have like to have took up the offer to join one of you for a trip out maybe if you do it again ?. Hope you guys have a good time and look forward to reading your tales next week.Will be around on the Northern Broads sometime over the next week,so if any other Forum members are out give us a wave when you see the forum flag .

To much information Jim Seriously ,glad to hear it went well and now we know where to come to for advice.

You of no faith Mark,after all Jim is a Bounty owner

Best of luck with it Jimbo,let us know how it goes

Had that on the old BMC bad starting and smoke ,but went well after that. Went to the boat to check her today and she started after a few turns ( 3 pot Perky ).First time since December.Had a bad cold but the sunshine makes you feel all that much better.Glorious sun on the way back home passed two Gritters spreading ??? at 4 PM . Funny old day???

Blimey Col I would stil be drawing up the plans well done .Look forward to seeing the end product

Hi Andy ,talking to the man from Garmin at the Birmingham show at the weekend and he said to do as you say put in in a water filled bag and move it around the bottom of the boat to find the best position.He said the oil filled tube should give a good result without the risks with epoxy which once set is virtually for good.Good practice or not it could be worth a try.and you can still fix by other methods if it does not work.
