Hockham Admiral Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi, hears an update to the blog, we took a few days off before the bank holiday, we left our marina on Wednesday, heading for Braydon when we saw Spirit of Braydon approaching heading for St Olaves, after about 10mins i caught something approach ing from the rear....fast,sure enough it was Spirit of Braydon,who had had a shout for a cruiser stuck on Bratdon i believe,He slowed to pass us but we waved him through, she certainly goes! I know people have differing views on the boat,but this is not a BA bashing update, please feel free to copy a picture and start a separate debate on a new thread if you wish. We cruised upto Langley Dyke, but they were digging the ditches out,,,,,swamp gas couldn,t describe the stench!!. we opted to spend the night at Rockland straithe and had a meal on board and a few drinks ,we were the only boat there....very peaceful and relaxing. Thursdays update tommorow night..... Trev, Hi Just read an article in the EDP where it says that the BA will spend money on improving/renovating moorings rather than dredging.... then goes on to say that over-speeding boats cause so much bank erosion and subsequent increased silting...... What was the Breydon boat doing at St Olaves??? Can't the normal launch operate there anymore? This new boat was bought to patrol Breydon, or so I thought, so why was it so far away that it needed to exceed any sensible speed limits that everyone else has to observe?

diesel falcon Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi, John, i don,t think the old patrol boat,s in service or was nt, it was moored at Goodchilds at the week end.Can,t comment on reallly because i don,t know,does seem over the top having her that far away and expecting her to get back at full chat though,l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Can I ask what type of camera you are using as the photos are brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Sorry Hylander, i missed your last post,the camera is new to me as my old nikon 200 got dropped onto a stone floor which cracked it,s body, the insurance company replaced it with a upto date replacement, it,s a nikon d7000 ,and the camera was used in raw mode set on auto ,and the stock 18 to 105 mmm dx vr lens for all the photo,s in this blog(except the one,s Bob took) and tweecked in nikon nx2 to process the raw images, the auto focus did struggle with the power boats as they were coming straight at me but apart from that i am very pleased with it.

Hylander Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I am very interested in photography and will have a look at the Nikon d7000. Having been reared on the 'stop' system where you set your lens yourself I find the automatics take a great deal of the hassle and make it a lot easier. I am going back a few years when I say this. I have had one of these digital cameras for some time now. Is the Nikon d7000 a reflex lens camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Have just looked up the Nikon D7000 and it is really is a good piece of kit. Will have to be really good and ask Santa if he can put this on my list. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
