BroadAmbition Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Now when underway 'B.A' has very little stern wave. Tow a loaded dinghy and put the go stick fwd and this happens - not impressive Griff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Now at Bridge Broad. Both mud weights down all fishing. Andy river inspector came cruising past. I told him all my lot didn't have fishing licenses and could he arrest them. He replied he would be more likely to arrest me for indecent exposure as I have no shirt/top on.

Victoryv Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Head or boat ? arguably more wrong in the head, as no matter what work needed I would still have a wooden boat ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanR Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 While you're enjoying the Norfolk sunshine Griff, I'm sitting in sunny Yorkshire. Staying on the coast at Reighton Sands and visiting family in the area. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Reighton Sands? Wow, there's a name from the past. Dad used to have a caravan there Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siddy Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 We have family at Hunmanby just up from you on the coast, Last time I was their my uncle took me down there across the field to Reighton with his dog. So ok we walk back NO were stood on top of the cliff and he said we jump down keep your feet together and off he went so I followed. Well i'm still here it was a laugh but the steps to get back up at Hunmanby are still a killer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Griff I never did understand what DTS stood for (Drink something?), still less FCE and I always did dislike abbreviations but even so I get the gist and the photo speaks for you.

BroadAmbition Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Another cracking morning afloat. Sunny warm with gentle breeze. Sailed from Acle at 0800 enroute to Ranworth via Womack. It's just spot on Griff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Whilst mud weighted on the Bure in a bay on the river but out of the way of the river traffic (fishing) one crew member stated 'it's a boat per minute passing us here'. Then Steve G (one of the Lads Week Crew) came out with a belter. He was watching a large yacht with sails stowed motoring down river 'See that's the way to sail, get the motor running, none of that side to side bo££ox' There really was no arguing with a statement like that one Griff 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Now at Ranworth Staithe, tackling down gear, swift one in the Maltsters before sailing for home berth Wx is still on our side Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springsong Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Sat on Irstead Staithe on Sunday 4pm ish but you did not appear so that is the reason why. Still I had a good catch up with Jed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 We called in at LBBy for the usual pump out etc, then meandered back up the Ant with crew to cleaning stations. We arrived back in the wet-shed late afternoon. I was on the road home at 1700. All crew members agreed it had been a very good six days afloat, the wx was just perfect. The fishing? - Well we caught but not as much as we hoped, and we didn't make it above PHB either. Now of course the crew want to make this a yearly event, just the sort of statement that gets me into trouble with MrsG. We will see Griff 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Well Chuffin eck, it's a good job Tigers can swim! Just ridden through a mega thunderstorm on the Norwich bypass it's now hailstorm so we have stoped at The Bridge inn - rude no too. Oh and I have a leak in my gortex waterproof bike jacket, which is a first, the joys Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 If you just came through the storm on the Bypass, and then went to the Bridge, you jevidently got lost on the way from Stalham to Donny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
