surely Robin should have spotted it as he left, as BA always sails with the fenders on deck.

I will make damn sure I do in the future!

That is also why is stood out so much, everything else all tidy and ship shape and then this odd blue single fender be hanging off the bow lol.

[grendel]

I see the photographic evidence has appeared on Facebook, Robins Mum no less has grassed him up and shown us the evidence.

[grendel]

shamelessly copied from facebook.

"shamelessly copied from facebook"

Bad enough that it was my own mother who captured a photo with the rogue shed fender in place - and then leaked the evidence onto Facebook, now it's spread to the Forum

Oh Grendel you naughty man you!

But who wins the prize?

[Maxwellian]

Robins Mum

[Baitrunner]

Sounds like the competition was rigged to me. Can I have my money back? Oh no, I never paid anything. 

cant believe no one else got a picture though? 

So who will she take as crew?

[BroadAmbition]

Well done Robins Mum, Who would have thought Jill of all people got a photo of the offending item?  To be honest I thought I was onto a winner here getting away with the prize offered and no-one in here or FB would have captured the historic event.

On the upside I now have photographic evidence to remind Robin with through the ages.

Yes Jill does get the prize and very welcome to it she is too.  Who Jill takes as crew is up to her, she can take herself and four other crew members or just have a weekend on her own (And me of course )

[LondonRascal]

You won’t be the last that does this, and since you are not the first I’d not worry about it too much – at least you were not filmed or photographed heading up to Horning with your mud weight down

[andyhesford]

Andy it was good to meet up and I hope you get the burgee flying next time! We then passed each other a few days later but I can't quite remember where..............

We've been boating quite a few tears but I still put a "Aerial!" warning note over the ignition-key hole when we've used the TV and a "Mud-Plug!" notice when that's used.

Would I be correct JM in saying that, to date nobody has gone through Wroxham Bridge in reverse..............................at night, in the dark!!

Andrew

[BroadAmbition]

NO  it has NOT GOT TO BE DONE

And as far as I'm aware it hasn't been done astern in the dark, well it probably has but never been filmed

Sheesh all this tom foolery and bravodo will only end in tears - expensive ones at that!

Not only the bow fender, hey?   

[JennyMorgan]

Robin, Andrew is quite right, it just has to be done, and be filmed. Don't let Charlie put you off, even if he is right!
