It can’t be for off £600 though can it?! Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

I notice that across the 4 BCBM boats there are 10 shares up for sale! Of course though I have a favourite...... Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

Just this year at Ranworth a young lady tipped out of a dinghy right next the quay. Wearing an auto inflate life jacket which did its job. 2 men on each arm and she still could not get out. Fortunately on Thunder we have a rope ladder which I hooked over a mooring post and with help she was able to clamber out. Of course not having paid any attention to said rope ladder previously (I mean how difficult can it be?) I had it upside down which meant the grippers were on the underside of the steps and I suspect the steps were floating around a bit more than they were supposed to........

We have our own lifejackets which we take to Thunder with us each time safe in the knowledge that we know their history and take responsibility for ourselves. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

It is the same listed air draft as Commander and Commodore that operate out of Stalham. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

Thunder currently has a school share for sale. The first time one has been for sale since the syndicate formed.... Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

Simple physics- put more heat in that escapes through the many vents and gaps on a boat! We used to take some easy peel decorating tape to plug the gaps around the canopy when we had a share in Evening Shadow. Bit of a pain to lower the canopy mind! Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

They don’t currently open Saturdays. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

[quote post=" W3W will not tell the responders the route to get to the location. There is a navigate to button down the bottom. Mine then offers me a choice of apps to use for hands free directions. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

I like it! If you have your 3 words and you need to dial 999 you give them the three words. This is then passed to responding officer/crew etc. They then press a button on their phone and say those three words into the App. They then press another button which opens google maps which provides directions. It really is that simple. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

When Thunder (and other BCBM managed syndicates) were first set up there was 12.5 shares with the 0.5 share having fixed weeks in Spring and summer. That’s the share I have so we have a spring and summer week every year. It’s also a school’s holiday share so it’s a school holiday week every year. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

Hayley, I have a half share in Thunder and have had since 2011. Annual running costs have not really changed since 2015 And for my 2 weeks share they have been: Management fee £220 Running costs £455 This excludes the Winter Maintenance which jumps around a bit depending on what we choose to do.

£3 for Womack is a bargain! Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

I think the 50m rule also applies to vessels not under your control? Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

Several times I have seen people flying drones from the roof of their cruiser whilst moored at Ranworth Staithe. Just last month one flew around the green at Ranworth at about 12 foot off the ground much to the amusement of its pilot! Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

Nothing there I would disagree with! The Bure River Cottage is very nice but hardly pub prices. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

We cruised through Horning this morning. Plenty of boats about and on the move. We even managed a perfect mooring into Boulters (Nobody Other than their staff to see it though!). Later whilst having breakfast a number of day boats were out and about. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

We arrived at Ranworth at around 4pm on sat. Mud-weighted for about 45mins before a space became available. By dusk there was around 18-20 boats mud-weighted on the Broad and the island looked busy as well. Sunday up to Gayes staithe and actually managed to nab one of the side on moorings at lunchtime. Gayes and Neatishead full up by tea time with many boats arriving and trying their luck over the course of the evening. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

I got round to tallying up the costs of Thunder since we bought a share in 2011. Including the purchase price of our two week share and allowing for 19 weeks afloat they have cost us £580 per week plus fuel and pumpouts. Excluding the purchase price (and realistically I reckon I wouldn’t lose much on a sale) the price falls to £400 a week. I’m taking that. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

I’m not saying it is not intentional, just saying everything is a compromise. We may to moor and it out less. As the toll continues to rise whilst the availability of BA moorings reduces something has to give! Although according to another thread on here as a public sector worker I am due to retire any day now with a gold plated salary and even possibly a knighthood. So it can’t all be bad!!!
