Hi to you all,a bit of info about me.

New to this forum but not boats,The Broads or Norfolk.

Part of my childhood was spent in Norfolk,my parents ran the village shop in North Elmham for a while and we later moved to Terrington St Clements,I've been in love with the area ever since.

On family holidays over the years,the highlight has always been a days boating.3 years to celebrate my (cough)the birthday we hired Broad land Saturn for a week and had a fantastic time.Even got across Breydon water,no problem!

I'm currently rebuilding a 1963 20' yacht which I'm hoping to bring up from Essex next year,maybe permanently.

Please be gentle with me!

Any pics of your yacht as it was/is, watershed, please?

 

And may we have a name or do you prefer watershed?

[watershed]

If i can work out how,it'll be a pleasure to post pics.

Glenn( PS watershed is on my shortlist of new names for the boat,after all,it's on the water and currently a bit of a shed!)

[Hockham Admiral]

Jill wrote an article on that, Glenn.. I'm just off out for a pint or three and I'll try to look it up for you when/(if) I get back!

Hey watershed, welcome. I have a slight feeling of deja vu, but hopefully it will pass.

Hi watershed, and welcome from me. Nice photo of your boat. I feel I might have seen her before somewhere. Was the picture taken in Heybridge?

 

I digress a little now, but in another life many years ago I used to call on  the County Arms at Terrington St Clements. Not long ago on my way back from Norfolk I decided to detour, and call in for a drink. Surprise surprise! the pub was a house, and the car park a housing development! Nothing stands still does it.  Its an age thing!!

 

Anyway do enjoy the project, and perhaps we will see you on the water someday. I hope you let us know how you are getting on with the restoration of the yacht.

Welcome Glen.. I thought that was you (The essex bit and the 20foot boat gave it away!).. Still loving your blog by the way and good to see her coming along... you should share your blog here to others can follow too  

[watershed]

Ebbtide,yes,Heybridge indeed.

I don't remember the pub,i was too young to frequent such establishments.we lived in a big old place called 'Moat House' on one of the roads(memory fails me on that name) leading into the village.Went past a few years back and it looked like it was being developed, so it may or may not be there now.

Jaws Orca,glad you're still enjoying the blog. I was going to keep the same user name here,but couldn't remember password. The mods kindly sorted a new one for me but I'm quite attached to "watershed' now!

How's the Sabre coming along? Quicker than 'seal' i imagine?

[MauriceMynah]

Ahhh yes Watershed, but you are one up on JawsOrca...

...  You have the approval of a Seal!

[JawsOrca]

Your new berth there looks a bit better! The sabre is coming on OK.. although we found a big hole in the bottom so a bit of time is being wasted on fixing that at the moment.. but it's still 7 day weeks at the moment.. hoping to be done for December Don't rush seal though.. enjoy the ride.. you will get there
