    Your team did a great job. Just as you would have of expected

    Such a team doesn't happen by accident. Good luck to you all for this coming season.

    As to delivery of a private owners model, I expect that'll be a few seasons away yet before you have a free build slot - such will be the popularity of "The Commodore" class.

    Once again - Good Luck - and well done to you all!

    CHRISTMAS AFLOAT?.

    Yes Polly, we did Christmas afloat last year and had a great time. We were with three other boats including Cheshire Cat, and visited a few places - Ranworth & Thurne Dyke were two that I remember from the alcohol infused days we had together

    Toll increase

    Quite agree, The increase is reasonable. I hadn't done my homework on this and stand corrected. I wasn't aware that the Inland waterways rates were proportionately so much higher than those on the Broads. I have to agree with Marshman we are getting a pretty good deal in that case

    I read in the paper, think it was The Daily Telegraph, that the other 2,000 miles of inland waterways tolls increase next year will be 1.6%. Not being picky you understand, just pointing out that, before we get excited, there are actually no big favours being done by the BA in particular.

    We used this app as part of our safety preparations for TC's trip to Ipswich with Broad Ambition last year. Given that our max. speed was 10ish mph with the tide, it was useful to see how far way and the speed and direction of some of these sea going monsters, especially as we entered Felixstowe and had one catching us up quite quickly, and they almost certainly were unable to see us. Had we needed to we could have contacted the vessel on VHF and been able to set our course to avoid a collision. However there are very clear lanes in the Harwich area which define where us little boats go, and they are well away from the main big ships channel.

     

    Overall a very handy app for anyone going on the rough stuff. (oops… I hope we are allowed to mention the "sea" word on here :shocked)

    The Corsican

    Hmmm, the thought has just occurred to me that normally it would be the seller who would pay any commission. I have never heard Simon sing...and...well... well, I've got this kind of hunch, which, not to put too finer point to it, I'd rather listen to Geoffrey sing.... well in fact I suspect I'd rather hear Dyllan than Simon!

     

    I do accept I might be wrong, Simon might have the voice of an angel. I've never been that close to his bath to find out!

    John, you got the first bit right, I've always enjoyed music and listening to other singers, fortunately I haven't had to listen to myself

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for the good luck wishes.

    Yep. I did notice That is the year she was registered on the broads. It's the only certain date we have.

    Considering her current amazing condition I don't think it's at all relevant to achieving a sale!

    I'm confident that she will go through any survey with flying colours
