Gracie Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Been browsing this forum for a while and finally decided to join. I am new to this forum thing so forgive me if I make mistakes or post in the wrong section. I am a complete Broads fanatic and have been holidaying on hire boats for over twenty years, also a keen fisherwoman or most of the time maggot drowner. I have no axe to grind and pretty easy going and you lot appear to be a friendly bunch so looking forward to some friendly banter.

Gracie Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hello All Thank you so much for the warm welcome, looking forward to chatting to you all in the future. JTF, Don't know about seeing your maggot but I'd love a pint, I think I should have been a man, Boating, Fishing and Beer are my favourite things. You made me smile Gracie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hi Alan Mean't to ask is Ranworth Breeze the name of your Boat, I take lots of photos of Boats on the Broads and I am sure I've seen the name, who ever she belongs to should be very proud she's beautiful.

ranworthbreeze Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hi Gracie,The name of our boat (I say our, I have only 5% of it) is indeed Ranworth Breeze, a 2001 Birchwood 340AC cruiser.It is a share boat as you can imagine, but it went self managed in February 2012.I have been involved with the boat from the begining after I bought a share in the boat at the 2000 boat show, the boat was yet to be lauched, but we had been looking for a share scheme from around 1998 original on the Canals, at that time there were only two schemes on the canals and we went to look at both of the boats at the time and we were not impressed.We had been going on Narrow boats since 1974 and each year a group of us keep up the tradition (Scotish Canals earlier this year).There is currently about 8 to 10 share boats on the Broads, but there are a number of boats shared by more than one owner as well but these may not be formal arrangements.I have enjoyed my 13 seasons on the Broads and hoping for many more to come.Ranworth Breeze is the boat with the canopy the other boat is our sister vessle Southern Crusader (again self managed).RegardsAlan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hi Grace, Wanna come see my maggot? OOOOps sorry about that, I've had a beer Well if Gracie is the name of that beautiful old Kimiline wooden 40 footer then she'd rather fear the dreaded Gribble rather than your old maggot, JTF! :naughty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hi MuzbazThankyou so much for the welcome, it really is a great community and feel I have made online friends already, although a bit concerned I haven't heard from JTF in a while I fear he's showing his maggot to someone else lolGrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I would not dare to possess such a thing as a two timing maggot... also one of the few things I've never been called!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
