    .......one thing that puzzles me is that if weeks are 'unclaimed' say in November or January for example, can another shareholder take them over and if so is it a freebie or do they have to compensate the 'winning' shareholder for taking their week??

    Hello.  Unclaimed weeks are up for grabs to partners and no further payment is required.   You can take as many weeks as you can for no additional outlay, apart from fuel and pump out costs.

    And of course Moonlight Shadow (being based at Brooms) is less than 10 minutes walk from Brundall railway station.  Which as you know has very a very regular train service.

    Have just had a look at the specification. £3,000 is very cheap for this boat. I am looking at timeshare myself but Moonlight Shadow at 38 ft is just too big for me. I am watching for shares in Goosander to come up, which at 31ft  would be more manageable for solo cruising. 

    Hi.  According to the BCBM website there are shares for sale in Goosander.  £5k/each.  Jay (Jayfire) often uses MS solo.  It may be worth talking to him.

    Price drop.  Selling separately £3250 each.

    One share under offer.  Although it has been dragging on for weeks now, hopefully not going to fall through.

    Sue

    Now £3k each.  2nd share still not sold, time waster unfortunately.

    The most ridiculous thing I can think of is using an inverter to convert 12 v to 240 v then use an adapter to take it back to 12v to charge devices... Makes my blood boil. Hence the 12v sockets. 

    I agree.  We have a 12v TV on Moonlight Shadow.  It has an enormous adaptor.  We put a 12v lead on board to plug into the 12v socket so that the adaptor is surplus to requirements.

    To cut a very long and very embarassing story short, phil correctly found the on/off switch deftly located/hidden on the lower right edge of the wafer thin tv. Which I had been unable to find in my attempts to see if the tv was in fact still functioning. He said “is it turned on” oooops basic error. I had never actually turned it either on or off with a switch. Much  mirth at my expense

    Funny you should say that, our TV on Moonlight Shadow has a hidden on/off switch like this.  Same problem as well!  Sign made now an stuck on the front so we all know where to look.

    Been visiting the Broads for over 20yrs and this year decided to treat myself to a bit of luxury so have hired Moon Discovery with Richardson’s Stalham. I’ve searched YouTube for reviews and videos but haven’t been able to find anything, can anyone suggest where to search?

    Looks a real posh boat.  Just looked at the cost of hiring her, should we ever want to.  The only week that would appear to have been available is 25/5 to 1/6 and for the two of us and Rosie it would be £2200! 

    Makes the 3k for 8 weeks in Moonlight Shadow seem even more good value. 

    Guess when the shares sell we won't be in the market for such boats any more.

  7. Lists on list in our house.  Good job we have the Trafic van, all our stuff and Rosie wouldn't fit in a normal car.

    We prefer to use our own electric heater, far less noisy!   The spare 'leccy' blanket that has become part of the boat list also works a treat.

    Home from home all the way for us.  I never was one for 'camping'.

    Richard was such a kind and sharing person.

    I was only thinking about him yesterday as we hadn't heard from him.

    So was I, so sad. 

    He had so much joy though when he moved the boat closer to home.

    Here's today's which pub.

    Nice and easy, but I needed a pint or 10 after a boat of lads backed into the front of mine and just laughed about it :default_icon_mad:

    We us brooms close  to us .David at Cove can do fuel and gas.Steve (07946663053) at Beccles  not sundays does fuel and pump.NYA has fuel you need to sign up and pay a fee then you get a discount on fuel.

    Being moored at Brooms they are our point of call.  I think Swancraft still have the facility?

    Nice to be close enough to leave so late.  The least time we have managed (including two comfort stops for Rosie and driver changes) is 6.5 hours.

    We're getting too old for it now, hence the shares for sale.

    Lulu and I lost some very dear friends over the last few years, I personally lost 4 mates, my best friend  that I grew up with and one of my flying buddy's plus another 2 good guys, all in their 50's, that's what got us into buying a boat.

    We always said 'when we retire' well bugger retiring and waiting we are doing it now so we can enjoy our future together on the Broads and beyond.

    Absolutely.  While fit, well and can afford it go for it.  We're a long time dead!

    Hi Sue, Royal Sussex(Ocean 37)is currently round at NYA, we poked our noses at her on Saturday but apparently she had just been sold...

    That's her, not young but a good looking boat.
