marjul Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Just wanted to wish you all a good morning and thank you for letting us join the forum. We have recently got back on line after a fairly long break due to computer issues and were trawling through Broads related "goodies" in preparation for our holiday starting on the 4th October when we found you. Hope you won't mind us lurking in the background, we do belong to other forums and recognise some of the names on here. We just enjoy soaking up the knowledge from people lucky enough to live in or have regular contact with all things "Broadland". Nice to meet you all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marjul Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Thank you for the welcomes. I like the "like" button - often on forums, I've seen comments I agree with with, but don't have anything extra to add, this is a great way to show support for them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockham Admiral Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Marjul, welcome aboard from us. Where do you start your holiday? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marjul Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Many thanks for the warm welcome. Deebee29, I hope your week drags for you, and it flies for us - we can't wait! Hockham Admiral, we pick our boat up from Acle (Bridgecraft). Having looked at the tides, we're hoping to get on early and head across Breydon and spend our first week on the Southern side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebee29 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Marjul We were with Bridgecraft back in April on Forth Bridge 1 and I have to say they are a great yard Really friendly & helpful. The boat was ready early and although not a new boat was spotlessly clean and well looked after. I'm sure you will have a great time David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesprite Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Welcome Marjul, hope you enjoy the site and have a nice week away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marjul Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Thank you for the welcome littlesprite. We found a week wasn't enough, so have two weeks now - its great at the end of the first week, knowing we still have another one to go! Deebee29, this will be our 10th year with Bridgecraft, we haven't tried any of the other boatyards as we've been so happy here and never had any problems. For the past 8 years (I think!) we've had the same boat - Conway2. The "Norfolk Box" has come out ready to be checked and anything missing replaced ie batteries for the torches etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Hi Ron, Yup we most certainly do! Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marjul Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 That's no problem, Ron, as newbies we just didn't want to come across as too informal too soon and risk offending anyone. Marjul is made up from the two of us - Mark and Julie. I(Julie), will probably do most of the posting, but I will ensure that whichever of us is posting, we sign off with our name. We have learned to be organised Iain, if only to save dashing to Lathams or Roys and buying the same items year on year. We found we had accumulated a fair supply of half pint glasses, veg peelers and veg knives at home, which never seemed to make it back to Norfolk! Best wishes Julie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marjul Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Glad we're not the only ones to have a "Norfolk Box" too! We'll have a look to see if anyone is still at WRC as we pass, John and Mary Jane. We have stopped there in the past for showers and the shop. Enjoy your meal and meet up. If anyone spots us on Conway 2, please feel free to say come and say hello or wave as we pass, we're quite sociable, fully house trained and usually have the kettle on the go, or something stronger if its not been polished off! Have a great holiday David - we're counting down the hours now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
