Welcome

There you go I told Jill that I had seen some near there.

Coming together nicely. How are you going to finish off the edges/corners, some kind of wooden angel?

If money were no object then I would be looking for a nice secluded bungalow with moorings. I would still have to convince the other half. It would be an excellent base for going abroad when the weather was bad.

Looking good Alan.

He has done some excellent videos. Watched most of the boat ones.

Is this about this weeks flooding or last spring. One article had a short video and in it they mentioned April??

A true Scott. Most think "what a lovely photo" Iain thinks "that's another two an six to replace the Port Bow Fender".

Now if you have wifi on your boat you could use this. http://www.firebox.com/product/6068/iKettle I think the snoring is a lot cheaper though.

Merlin looks a lovely boat. Nice picture as usual Jill. I think John Built that one.

Iain get it on full throttle, and suggest they stick their head out of the window. Not quite as quick as the hair drier. Mind you this is not something that I would suggest to my other half. Life limiting.

I live less than a mile from the Basingstoke canal. We often walk along it so that I can get a water/boat fix. A few times we have come across I wire hidden in the bank attaché to an illegal trap.

You have also got Beccles yacht station and Norwich. Not sure about a forth. Horning and Brundall for the posh ones.

Wish my mum would do the same. I remember the days when I used to keep the change as she never asked for it.....now she does it to me

Did you use a filter Peter? That is a lovely photo. Compliments.

The weather is not very nice here. At least the car is having a nice clean in the rain. Greetings to everyone.

DF, the fact is you can fish at Langley Dyke and when we were there in August I read the sign and decided not to fish. However it did not stop at least four others off boat and bank actually fishing. I however being one for following the rules did not, first night out as well. We went for a lovely walk instead. Gramps The notice does not make it clear. It just stated no fishing.

Not sure that I agree with taking away my choice to buy a CDW. I like to know what my exposure is and can I afford it. A deposit can be just that and if the damage is more then you may be liable. I take responsibility and care when I am out on a boat and touch wood not damaged one yet, but I still get caught out occasionally. Wind, tide , underwater eddies at Stokesby being one in particular. I came in taking what I could into account and still got turned. Rear of the boat nudged the one behind, was meant to be in front. No damage as the fenders were deployed. The boat occupants were very nice and complimented me on my recovery. Other times I have moored there with a foot or two to spare at both ends. No CDW won't stop the reckless numpties as usually they are not aware of there own inadequacies. It will keep good customers away in my view. Education has to be the best way forward.

Enjoyed the tale. Thanks

We used a Motorola PMR when we were stern mooring or mooring in windy conditions as the bathtub we hired did not have great vision to the back of the boat. It was great for directions as to how close I was to the bank and Sara could let me know when she had stepped off etc. Are they necessary, then I would say no. They certainly helped and IMHO made it a bit safer.

Is it in Norwich Jill?

Friend of mine called it Military Style....left....right....left....right. Do they use twice as much fuel Nice that they didn't give up though.

Just had time to catch up. Great tale and some lovely photos.

Some nice pictures there. Enjoying the tail. Good stuff
