quo vadis Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Just arrived home from Marina, yes it is thawing slowly but hopefully a couple more days of warmer weather day and night and a bit of whoomping we could be on our way new years eve, fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 You can,t beat.. a bit of whoomping, all we need now are loads of whompers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loops Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Jay and me will not be volunteering to whomp Having whomped our way out of malthouse broad 2 years ago (with the blisters to prove it ) and whomped our way up the Ant last year, whomping is not on the cards this year However, we could/will be around to give copious amounts of whomping advise Lou xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quo vadis Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi Trevor (Derek) I cant believe how short your memory is you were performing said Whoomping yesterday before my very eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I,ll have to remember a big whomper on friday......a broom 37 ,ll do!! then a panty liner, then i may get out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I'll be going down on Thursday to try to thaw out the boat (frozen bog could be a bit of an issue! ) and put the heating on to try to make it habitable! Is anyone around for a communal whomping? Having not been well versed in the art of said whomping I do need some lessons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hopefully ,there will be a load of whompers around friday morning,i defrosted the heads yesturday mines a manual though i poured warm water down it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loops Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 The main thing, one must remember, with whomping is not to allow any frozen stuff near the gel coat . Lou xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat nee blownup Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Diesel Falcon; Whoomping (please note double O) is similar to tapping, you know the constant noise from your engine bay! but whoomping is more severe as in hitting the ice with a bloody great big iron bar as Quo Vadis rightly pointed out you were so doing during your visit yesterday whilst other forum members looked on. Its a shame that after 10 minutes of harsh whoomping you managed only to break approximately one cup full. As for your Curling (please note C not K) the idea of filling your kettle was a good one but you'd have to phone Sue and ask her what it looked like.

Hockham Admiral Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Just back from Brundall where I went to prepare Friday Girl for NYE... couldn't get onboard as she was surrounded by ice 2-3ins thick; so I couldn't pull her in to the pontoon... Doesn't look good for Coldham Hall at the moment and it's very foggy there (and forecast to stay so) with the temperature about 2degs...
