Not a Boat Fire At Reedham Ferry - Just a boat heading for refurbishment

[Smoggy]

Now you're being silly, I'm trying to work out what DIDN'T cause it, especially as it didn't happen.

I think it was caused by the lack of washing and polishing! 

Clearly if it had been washed and polished regularly, the non existant fire wouldn't have happened

Could having a wet shave caused it

Yes.

The sink then could have overflowed, which coupled with a possibly blocked shower drain and potentially faulty bilge pump maybe could have caused the bilges to fill. This then could have triggered a short-circuit on a potentially exposed and unfused electrical connection to the battery, causing a fire to start.

And that is why sailors have beards - to stop this sort of chain of events due to shaving

Now that IS worrying, if anyone is passing thorpe st.andrews can they stop and put my fire out please.

I have been in touch with the fire brigade who were not called to put out a fire that did not exist and apparently after a thorough investigation it was decided that it was caused by a box a of wet matches being left on board !!

we were moored at the cross when the tug boat from reedham went past towing the broads boat alongside. They towed it down as far as reedham ferry and then left it there overnight along with the tug boat. The broads boat looked dirty and had not been used for a while - maybe just a shell awaiting completion.
