Smoggy Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 7 hours ago, MargeandParge said: How long and how many litres from Lowestoft to Southwold? Just interested. Are they Volvo engines and what sort of revs do you cruise at she sounded strong and even on the videos. Is there an optimum cruising speed. Don't want to be nosey but interested. Kindest Regards Marge and Parge The one time we worked it out over a 2 week trip I reconed on about 50 litres an hour at 16 knots so not frugal in any way, they are 2x 150hp volvo tmd41a's @ 3000rpm, they'll rev to 3900 and give me 21 knots but I don't fancy that fuel consumption. We were against the tidal stream by the time we got out so only making about 13-14 knots over ground, had angled rollers in the southwold entrance that made it interesting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got much space in the rear lazarette, or is it all taken up by fuel tanks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 Not in lazarette, engines under saloon floor. Lazarette is basically my shed. @mouldy havhave you been charging your drone on the cheap? Oops! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted August 26 Author Share Posted August 26 This is very nicely done. On the road down to southwold Harbour by the golf course. Looks like we'll stop here till Wednesday now and just head back into the southern broads as the winds are shown to turning easterly next week. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 Off back to the Broads shortly booked on to 2.30 bridge lift and 3.15 at mutford. 4 days of pitstop cafe brekkies has done us well, so much so that we've not needed evening meals except for sharing a kids size pizza last night in the nelly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 Just spent an evening in oulton broad getting change from a fiver for 2 pints, that's a bit different from southwold for sure, I'm certain at a weekend we'd both absolutely hate the waveney Inn but a quietish Wednesday night was fairly entertaining and damned cheap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 Another dinghy trip. Why? Albion stout that's why. And why a re-run is on the cards for tomorrow. The reason we are navigating by good chewy stout is simple, we use shatnav. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
