Is anyone going to meet them on the Yare in their own boat?

[Snowy]

No, we are all tucked up in the warm either at work or home watching on marine traffic

Hi Snowy,

That sounds about right, it depends on Reedham bridge however.

Looks like indy left the pilot in a wake of foam

[stumpy]

I once (never again!!!) got taken out to a boxboat on the Sunk anchorage by one of the Harwich pilots - as C&E were paying we had a little play afterwards, they can't half hustle and,no, I wasn't allowed on the wheel!

I was considering getting myself down there but it might be a bit weird if I'm the only one!

ETA Brundall could be a early as 1.30 if they go straight through Reedham, they will be on a rising tide for the latter stages so will be doing 6mph on tickover I reckon

[FairTmiddlin]

I reckon, The only way Indy would ever do 4mph, is sideways using bursts of the 20 hp thrusters.

[FairTmiddlin]

Indy gone straight to the Yare

[grendel]

he will arrive pointing into the tide on tickover - moving backwards, keeping it centred on the bow and stern thrusters - Actually he could turn off the engines and just use the thrusters to keep him in the middle of the river and let the tide do the work.

Yep its nice n lovely n warm in here 

[Snowy]

If Robin claims to be on a “Broom trail” he could be in Brundall in 10 minutes 

[ranworthbreeze]

If Ricardo is still on the New Cut if he is like anyone else he will be bored unless a train passes by. This is one section of the Broads that Tan is happy to relinquish the helm

Looks like a boat called Springvale is waiting for Reedham Bridge to open

[Brundall1037]

Springvale is moored outside The Ship, it is usually there
