BroadAmbition Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Friday 7th Feb 2020 So, after stepping onboard late afternoon today,Β first job was to turn on the heating as well as the 240v ceramic fan heater.Β Nobody has been onboard overnight since the Lads Week back in October Β nearly 4 x months, probably an unwanted record Β I was pleasantly surprised, not too much mouldy surfaces and moderate dust Β of course if one listened to MrsG βB.Aβ wasΒ filthy and unliveable. A visit to Tescoβs we needed some Dettol mould n mildew remover, probably the only cleaning agent known to Man we didnβt have onboard. Immersion heater on and we got stuck in, Β every bulkhead, surface and deckhead got a bolloxing. Β The galley, aft passageway (Watch it!) double cabin, double cabin and wheelhouse completed Β gear onboard, stowed. Β Tomorrow will see upΒ fwd and topsides completed before we sail into a howling gale. Friday evenings for us at home is traditionally Fish n chips from our local Β chipole, tonight would be no different, Β off to Stalham chippy in t car. Β Ordered = no wallet, dash back collect wallet (not at all embarrassing)Β Bl00dy hell, large fishΒ n chips with Β mushies, small fish n chips = Β£17:50 Β HOW MUCH? Less than a tenner at home Β Anyroadup, here we sit getting nice n toastyΒ onboard, the heating will stay on 24 Hrs for now. Β TV on, a glass each MrsG knitting and drooling. Earlier whilst driving on the NDR (is it still called that?) I pointed out those βBatβ gantries to MrsG Β she didnβt believe me one iota they were for bats. So we had a bet of sorts Β I won of course after google confirmed. So, βBat out of Hell, will be playing on βB.Aβs ICE on valentines night, really? Yes reallyΒ Β MrsG - face like a bulldog licking p1ss off a nettle. Happy Days More to follow Griff Β Β Β 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Chill Griff (and Mrs G). JustΒ enjoy the time. Weβll also be arriving in Brundall tomorrow for the joys of the Broads thrashed by Storm Ciara. Wondering if we can get a short cruise in tomorrow before it hits us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Sat 8th Feb. Morning, just been outside the wetshed at the basin end looking out over Swan quay. Mug of rum with splash of coffee in hand Thereβs not a breath of wind to be felt. The calm before the storm, literally. Last night after the evening news, I put a dvd on, it was the RAFβs training film namely βBattle of Britainβ. Now MrsG was knitting (Third grandchildβ on the way) and I knew she would both not watch it Β nor understand the importance of it and how close we came to losing it Well, surprise surprise, watched all of it, enjoyed it and βGot itββ. Wonders never cease eh? Griff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
