[Hi from another new member]

Welcome Baitrunner

[PMR or VHF radio?]

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?

[We have all followed someone doing this]

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.

[A Sunny September Week on Magic Gem 2]

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

[A Week on Royall Commander]

Some nice pictures there. Enjoying the tail. Good stuff

[a boot yard tale or two..........]

Jon you better be careful where you tread and put your chair legs on that veranda!

[God Bless America...n Woodwork Videos!]

I was wondering what was funny....but then. Great. Good chuckle.

[Broads Suncharm]

When we hired it about four years ago it was inverter run. Nice boat.

Wise words Robin. I use the Bins there too. If I see the ramp go up I hold back, and try to time it. More difficult if you have the wind and tide behind you. This year I was holding back and he waved me through.

[For those members who know George!]

Congratulations, the start of sleepless nights.

Over such a narrow gap with often little warning of when he is going to go across it can seem very fast. I always look out for the ramp.

[Hi]

Welcome from me. Enjoy

[we've started our hols]

Hope it is ok tomorrow Lori

[Hypothetically speaking...]

Cat, Pigeons, bag. Lovely discussion Robin and one that was guaranteed to polarise members. Now how do we get the cat out from amongst the pigeons and back into the bag.

I love the idea of cheap fuel and food. But as has been said before if you plan well you can get the cheap food, either take it on board with you or plan your trip so that you are within walking distance of one of the big four or smaller but even cheaper two. I come down on the side of better as it is. Peaceful, tranquil and not too commercial. As for fuel if you shop around you can get a good price.

No not for me. Getting old.....leave it as it is.

[Could Richardson's get any better]

When we hired this boat we liked the instant heating and hot water, no need to run the engine. The boat handles well forwards and astern. Reversed all the way down the staith at Nettishead. You will love it.

[we've started our hols]

Nice clip. Looks like a lovely evening.

[hi]

Welcome from me as well.

[Hi all! :)]

Welcome. That feeling at the end of week one as you start week two is lovely.

[I heard and then saw a thing of beauty this evening...]

We used to watch the planes at Manston. I used to love watching the lightnings taking off. They would get airborne and go almost straight up. The noise was great.

[Hi all.]

Welcome from me too

[Robert Yates sends King Kong abroad]

Looks amazing. Very interesting site. Thanks

[This one would make a tricky jigsaw]

Agree with you there Strow. How much would you pay though?

[favourite hire boat]

I have hired many different boats and as Eric mentions it is the broads that makes them all special. There is however one boat that I just fell in love with.....many of you can probably guess which one from my previous posts. We hired Swallow from Maffett Cruisers at Loddon (Chedgrave) when we needed something not so expensive. We did this following some posts from Neil (Speedtriple). I have hired her for next year as well. Lovely boat for two. Comfortable but basic, handles like a dream. She does have a small flat screen tv and DVD player so not basic basic.
