JennyMorgan Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Good job that Crew Indy was happy to eat aboard tonight, I genuinely couldn't think of anywhere to recommend to Robin. As Katiew has just said, Independence has proven herself, Breydon should be no problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRascal Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 So tomorrow I have some friendly NBN members popping over to be my crew to Brundall. I will fuel up at Brooms I suspect because I don’t want to leave tanks half full and then will work out the total used and share here on the fuel sweep stake thread and see who was closer. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryandDawn Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 A brilliant fault free adventure which is down to the expertise of indy's crew with the technical knowledge preparing her for the journey along with the navigational skills needed to get her to Great Yarmouth, has the crew considered boat delivery as a full time occupation ? it is a great shame about the interruption of the trip. We will watch with interest tomorrow as the trickiest part of the trip awaits......Breydon Water Well done chaps and to the good ship "Independance". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTatts Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Great news Robin and hope all goes well . . . Please activate your 'tracker/transducer' on departure so that we can all follow your progress . . . (Day 5 for me and, I guess, many, many others here, following the journey via "Marine-Traffic" ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low water at Yarmouth is pretty early tomorrow around 8am , I too are going up the yare from St olives but a slightly different route , night tide at brundall is around 5pm if I remember n take care there have been some quite low tides around brundall over the last few days , n good idea to fill the tanks I'm not sure when brooms knock off on a Monday fuel wise but check Malcolm always aims to please but he's gonna be out of his hut for a while I recon filling independence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broads01 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Well done team, what an effort. Good luck Robin and tomorrow's crew for the trip to Brundall. What a thread! Alas with work and life I haven't been able to keep up with the thread through the day but I've enjoyed catching up this evening (12 pages since I last looked at 9am this morning!).

Have actually been there, didn't realise it was a Wetherspoons. That blessed 'teddy bear man' was performing outside, he's awful. As you say, better Spoons' in the area, back to Mc D's!

DaveRolaves Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Well done guys , but every picture posted looks like she is rolling heavily, maybe all the advice you had regarding stabilisers was right ,must of been a rough ride - quoted above. Well in any heavy sea conditions any boat will roll a bit especially when speed has to be reduced. At the end of the day the boat performed well and the crew did a good job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Team Indy - All home safe,. I walked in at 0130 to have our Macie dog go bonkers as per the norm. It's snowing here good and proper and settling too so another cold morning to look forward to. Back down to earth with a crash, stripping out a shower room in just over 6 x Hrs, I'm so tired it will have to be a shower in t morning. Clay shooting Wednesday evening. Did the adventure really happen?
