A Saturday Afternoon on the River

[Brian]

Bit of a last minute thing.

We had some friends over who had never been on the Broads before.

Richardsons came to my rescue.

Providing Melody to hire on a Saturday Afternoon for family and friends.

Clive i certainly owe you one.

First job Get the kettle on !!

Next .... Make sure path ahead is clear.

Next job.. Poor the Tea Rachel !

While everyone else is checking out the Forward Decks

Back inside for a group Picture

Then its slow ahead through Irstead

Im concentrating here as the river is narrow.

Doughnuts anyone ?

All Stop, Problem ahead !!!

THis pic shows the size of Melody, a lovely social area we all had plenty of space

More Tea !!

Autopilot worked a treat

Cakes Aft anyone ?

Clare at the Helm, she can pilot a boat as good as her Dad Im so pleased with my training

And theres me keeping a watchful eye

More Tea !!

How Hill ! Toads House

Howe Hill

All Aboard at Howe Hill for the 180 degree on a dime turn back to Stalham

Doug at the helm

Chilling out on the stern seating area

I want to Drive Daddy !!... No i dont think so Marcus.

More tea !!!

Parking up back at Kingfisher area and the massive expanse of Richardsons boat yard

All Parked up just the way we found her

Melody can be hired for the week from Richardsons.

Hi Brian

Looks like a nice day out and a nice boat. Whatever were Richardsons doing with a Melody spare at this time of year?!

Great boats that class... brought back some nice, and some funny memories!

Dan

[Brian]

Simon, Dan, It was very enjoyable. Lots of other boats about. With about 75% of them being hire craft.

Melody is a really good layout, the massive sliding sunroof made the inside like being outside

[Dan]

Stop trying to make me even more jealous Brian!

Just noticed you had number 4.. no wonder memories came flooding back!

Dan

P.S Just to be a smart **** you can also hire a Melody from Richardsons for a short break

Your pictures bought back some happy memories when we hired Melody 1 a few years back,best Broads Holiday we ever had,and dare may I say,plenty of room to fish off at the stern.

[Guest DAYTONA-BILL]

I`m rather surprised Jimbo has`nt made an appearance yet . An excellent boat for fishing indeed Steve, are you going to make Clive an offer .

[Brian]

Wherez Jimbo when you need a comment hey ?

THe Stern of the boat was massive, and would make a ideal fishing area, with the overhang, it also made it weather proof as well.

Fantastic Boat

[jimbo]

Sorry I'm late

Brian.........Great to see you onboard a proper boat

[jimbo]
