    I am sure I am too young for old stories but I hired from Hearts cruisers near to their demise. It was a disaster from day one. -Leave yard get to Brundall, go to use the toilet but no water to flush. Call yard. Same Man that did the handover comes turns on the valve situated under one of the beds. -Tea time day one-open cutlery drawer, it's empty. Eat out. Ring yard-same man appears the next morning (day 2) with cutlery tray. We joke "see you tomorrow" -Day 3-heading past Reedham towards Breydon. We have the tides spot on. Temp gauge is rising. Cover off of engine endless amounts of water is going into the top and obviously coming out somewhere else. Mudweight over the side. One of us has a mobile (early mobile days-it was like a brick). We make contact. Their towboat is already at Reedham rescuing somebody else-result! Towed back to Reedham for pipe on the coolant system to be repaired by the "normal man". -Day 4-no incident -Day 5-won't start. Normal man appears and fixes. -Day 6-no incident -Day 7-onboard hairdryer gives up in a puff of smoke.

    Looks like there may be more theft reports to follow-BB are asking owners to check their boats: @BroadsBeat: Owners - Please check your boats if moored on #TheBroads. More #marinecrime reported. #Malthouse Broad & #Upton dyke hit as well #Coltishall
