deebee29 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Sorry Bob I can't get too excited about this you see our holiday will have been and gone by then ( last week in April) Seriously though, I know how it feels as the weeks start to count down and the excitement grows. 5 weeks tomorrow and our balance has to be paid. Next step is to get the boat box out and check everything. It'll soon be here have a great one 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanR Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm looking for ward to being able to get our caravan opened up again in a few weeks' time as we're planning on spending Easter there. Then back onto the rivers in May just for four days. As for that other word that must not be spoken ... I wasn't allowed to buy half price cards in January so have decided that this year my preparations will be done last minute. After all ... can't go getting ourselves into trouble Grace, can we now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetKingfisher1 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 To everyone it is count down for this year / season 2017 . We will be up and on the boat for Easter , but first we need to do some work on the boat with dear JawsOrca (Alan) help . We got told yesterday (at the moorings) the crane has been booked for Wednesday 5th April to put all boats back into the water . Then Good Friday and till Easter Sunday we will be on her and give her a good clean and enjoy being back on the water.

ZimbiIV Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks for that Marina, I was going to phone David to find out when they go back in. We are down 24th March for a week staying in Wroxham. paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Ma.. we are planning on coming up this weekend and spending sunday on the carpet hopefully get it all prepped at least.. Not sure if we will get anything done on the hull but will have a look. Paul, you mentioned you wanted some cushions redone? If you want to PM me I can take a look when we are up and measure up and get trimnet to quote. All honestly my boss is quite good on pricing and it will probably a bit cheaper than norfolk prices. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
