I would hazard a guess that most broads cruising will count as low revs, on a boat that has twin engines the revs when out of speed restricted waters would naturally be a lot higher, but then you come

I know its more expense, but if you are having one turbo reconditioned / repaired, and they are both the same age, it might be worth having both done as sure as sure murphys law will say as soon as on

Wait till the weather turns first, a seized turbo won't affect you at river speeds. Winter is long enough without disabling the boat in good weather.

Hi All,

Update......A replacement reconditioned turbo is being fitted this Friday.

Also having new clear Vetus raw water strainers to replace the original black Volvo ones.

Going to have this weekend out to check all is okay and will do some running over Breydon to giver her a blast.

Saturday afternoon/evening we shall be moored up for the night at the Surlingham Ferry to take on provisions.....Food and Beer:418_fork_knife_plate::408_beers:

If any of you guys/gals happen to be there on Saturday be sure to say Hello.

Weather doesn't look very promising for the weekend but I will try and get some photos/Videos of the weekend.

Unfortunately my last visit to the broads has been far far too long ago CC so I won't be around this weekend, but have a great time at The Ferry, I hope the weather us good for you, the repairs are satisfactory and I look forward to seeing you around the rivers soon

Slight delay in the turbo fitting so unfortunately won’t be out on the water this weekend.

Looking at tide times it will be the 2nd/3rd November when the water levels are in our favour for a weekend jolly across to the South side.

Hopefully turbo will be all fitted early next week so will keep you all posted on the progress.

New turbo all installed.

All being well we should be on for our run across Breydon and stop over on the southside on the 2nd/3rd November.

Will wait until next week just to make sure all is good and then hopefully book Surlingham Ferry up for the Saturday evenings mooring and grub :)

Nice try matey but I'll still be there, you don't get away with it that easily......

My screens should be coming out this weekend and getting dropped of to Trevor Preece on the sunday, outside a pub seems the best place to do all the prep work.

Looks like you do get away with it that easily after all, due to weather I got my screens moving before rain and decided to head back to the marina to take them out and tarp up while it was dry, got them delivered to Trevor Preece and the car loaded just as it started raining, nice timing!

Looks like another weekend isn't going to go ahead !

Spoke to the guys at Yarmouth yacht station and worked out that getting back from Surligham to Yarmouth for best bridge clearance would mean leaving at about 05.00hrs.

The weather forecast is pretty grim, I've got a bit of a cold and I don't fancy navigating in the dark and damp whilst blowing my nose every two minutes:default_ohmy:

I'm hatching a plan B as I type this!

The thinking at the moment is maybe just have a blast across Breydon and back again the Sunday after next and then back to the Marina.

I'll put off a weekend over to the South till we have a few more hours of daylight available to us. 

Edit....

Having said all that.....We will be on Neaps then.Any idea what sort of bridge clearance at low water you would expect to see at Yarmouth on Neaps?

Finally got a chance to take Lady Emma out this Tuesday for a speed run.

The good news is that all is working well and the turbo is kicking in nicely.

Was an early start to make low water at Great Yarmouth.

After all that, it was time for lunch at the Acle Bridge Inn ...

Certainly did - friendly waves all round!  Passed Lady Emma moored at The Bridge Inn as we passed by a bit later, too.

I was being a good boy as had to drive home later that day. I can say that the draft Ghost Ship alcohol free beer is a very nice thirst quencher :default_beerchug:
