Andrew - I suspect you have not been on the Electric Eel? not sure that has a toilet either!!!!

P.S. Vaughan - we used to keep our boat at Nobby's! He let me out on Nutty several times!!! Now that is a long long time ago!!

I have been on the Electric Eel. Sadly no toilet. However not a long trip so not an issue. It was from How Hill if I remember and a trip which I thoughly recommend.

As for Nobby a wonderful character. Many a tale to be told.

I've almost certainly mentioned this before (!) but Ra was brought to Oulton Broad when she was new. She was loaded up with local worthies and dignitaries. Off she went, with a following wind and big smiles. She was a long time coming back. Eventually a River Inspector's launch set off to find her and to tow her back, smiles turned into cheers and laughter! A great idea, probably ahead of her time but having to recharge off the mains does somehow devalue the concept.

So contrary to an earlier comment, it wasn't a case of 'ageing batteries' ?

Another example of an official body leaping in to spend other people’s money on new technology to appear to be “green”

Maybe excessive windage and inadequate power from day one?

Just as Katie describes me
