NeilB Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 We came through Wroxham bridge around 9 on Friday morning, that was entertaining! At least they should all be heading back now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 We went to Brinks for a pump out as I was coming to moor at the front two bloody day boat cut up on the inside! I had to abort and come in again! Two of the Brinks yard guys just shook their heads in apparent disbelief! However, I’m sure they’ve seen it all before! Some of these people hiring day boats have no idea!

MauriceMynah Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 WHOAH, hang on a minute. Ok, people hire dayboats with no knowledge of boating lore or boating law. they are just out there enjoying themselves. Do we want them? YES WE DO. They will be the next generation of folk using and defending the broads. Dayboats are not responsible for much damage. They will be responsible for the future of the broads. Which weighs heavier? The broads is where many of us learned our boatcraft quite possibly starting with dayboats, a picnic and the resources to build a hangover. Let it ever be so. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these people hiring day boats have no idea! The problem is, the folk on the day boats had no idea that you were coming in for a pump out, to their mind you were just something else on the river at the time. I dont suppose they meant any harm and probably afterwards they thought oh dear shouldn't have done that. We have all done silly things on the river over the years and felt a right numpty. It is the way you learn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
