Ant Warning!!!

[JanetAnne]

Please be advised that our illustrious Chairman, Timbo, is currently carrying out 'sea' trials aboard Royal Tudor on the Ant. 

Those in the know will realise that today is not a good day to venture out anywhere from St Benet's to Stalham.

When he rang me last night to ask how to start the engine the alarm bells started 

You have been warned!

[Vaughan]

"Left hand down a bit".

LEFT HAND DOWN A BIT IT IS SIR!

[Lulu]

Has anyone spotted him and the beagles on their travels? 

[BroadAmbition]

Any submariners our today?

Griff

[Cockatoo]

Don't worry, the beagles will make sure he behaves :)

[BroadAmbition]

He needs river trials what with a ten Hr trip due next week

Griff

[BrundallNavy]

He definitely made it back to Stalham last night after a trip round Barton Broad or 3. Moored up outside enjoying the sunshine.

It doesnt leak, its deliberately filtering the Ant in a quest to help alleviate the blue green algae problem and soon it will filter the Yare and then the Waveney...

Got a pack of 20 AA's from poundland just in case

[Polly]

Oh that’s OK then

[Maxwellian]

I must say you lot are very cruel and showing a lack of respect for our beloved leader! Hiliarious mind, and only what he deserves.

I hope you have underwater cameras? It would be a shame to not have pictures of all the boats attending...

[BrundallNavy]

It’s designed to take on water to stop the inside drying out too much otherwise with the outside swelling and the inside contracting Tim would end up with a cream banana

I'll Bring my GoPro eqivalent on a length of string on a pole

It reminds me of The Jumblies  by Edward Lear; 'They went to sea in a sieve they did'

[Lulu]

 

The water it soon came in, it did,

   The water it soon came in;

So to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet

In a pinky paper all folded neat,

Must report sea trials a complete success, managed to get RT in and out of shed... Twice without mishap. Steve had his first time helming a boat down to Barton and enjoyed it so much we now have a boating convert. 

Two days on my own now fitting bits and pieces, laying lino and cleaning! Time for a beer first! 

[Polly]

I am pleased Steve has ‘seen the light’.!
