Lads Week 2023

[Islander]

We’re the beer prices that hair raising? Have a great evening.

[Broads01]

You mad bu***rs.

[Smoggy]

Are you really going to have a morning dip or will you just be going through the motions?

[grendel]

One very brave lady came and took a picture of us for her daughter who loves clowns, despite her fear of them, well done that lady.

[Gracie]

I've had a fear of clowns since childhood. I think what I fear the most now is when the lads actually take their masks off  x

[marshman]

Or even their clothes!!!!

[MauriceMynah]

Thank you Marshy, I now have a mental image I'm having great difficulty throwing,  and am not enjoying in the least.

This morning it was a reverse out of thurne dyke,  then a short hop to Fleet dyke where we all managed to get moored up, morning relaxing, then off to our pre booked moorings at the new Inn Horning. It looks like we will be fielding a couple of teams for their quiz night.day spent fishing and relaxing.

Sounds like you all had a good time and everything went to plan? What did you think of the Symphonies?

Ah, so you did hear me yell out your name.

I was wondering why you were moored outside Ferry Marina.

That they didn't break down as much as the Jewels! 

[grendel]

Actually, I was aboard Broad Ambition, so didnt get to see inside much, they do have the same engine as BA, and were better at keeping up, other than the gas bottles needing replacing, we didnt have any issues, the lads did have a look at the emperors when they returned to the yard, and it looks like we may be able to sleep 7 comfortably in those, I am told the saloon area in the symphony happily accommodates 7 sitting around chatting on those 'wine tasting evenings'.

I did manage to take Broad Ambition through Ludham bridge without incident on our way back to the wet shed yesterday morning, so I am pleased about that.
