BroadAmbition Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Evening Y'all,Ok some of you will know Geoffrey and his boat 'The Corsican' (V.Nice 38ft centre cockpit tupperware)Geoffrey has asked me (rather a bit late in the day) if he can attend our annual 'Lads Week' with him and his boat. - Of course he can - I don't own the Broads or anyone's boat for that matter! Problem there is Geoffrey doesn't have a crew to assist him. His normal crew is Steve but work commitments won't allow him the time off. So he needs just two crew members (Male - Sorry - it is the 'Lads Week' after all) able bodied and with normal eyesight. What will it cost you? A contribution to the victuals onboard, your own spending money and that's it!This years Lads Week commences late Friday 09th through to Saturday 17th Oct. 'B.A' + 2 x Jewels are booked with a total of 17 crew - 'B.A' does have one spare place available but Geoffrey is a bit erm . . . . . well built and needs his guide dog with him and seeing as we will have Macie dog onboard 'B.A' - it wouldn't work, besides Geoffrey quite rightly wants to attend with his own boat.So if you are up for it - PM / Txt / Ring me and I'll let Geoffrey knowWhilst I'm here - if anyone wants to join in with our flotilla for part or the whole week - you are of course welcome, We are going 'Darn Sarf' Saturday, back 'Oop Norf' Tuesday, then stay north through to the Saturday 17th Griff Edited August 26, 2015 by BroadAmbition 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jona Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Eyup Griff, been a while since Jo and I spent a couple of great days with you and yours, and a whole lot more, at Mark and Lyndsey's wedding at Salhouse. We are down on Monday the 12th oct out of Brundall for a week on one of the new Brooms Captain's. Looking at the tide tables will you be anywhere around the Berney Arms or perhaps the Bell to get the tide on Tuesday to go north? Would be nice to catch up with you and the lads.

BroadAmbition Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Mon 12th - Sailing from Norwich early afternoon bound for Berney Arms Inn to arrive no later than 1730(ish) overnight stop (Subject to the Berney Arms being open - just waiting on them confirming this), then v. early sail Tuesday morning to clear the bridges at GYA on our way back to the northern side.The Tuesday morning sail from Berney to the mouth of the Bure is the only time during our southern adventure that we will be against tide.

Wussername Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Each time I see a picture of your boat CC I just think "if only, if only". However commitments made weeks ago prevent me from being considered for your fantastic offer. Two hospital appointments for me, followed by theatre trips arranged by the ships captain Mrs Wussername, have scuppered me. I do hope that you find someone soon, a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the rivers and Broads on a wonderful boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshireCat Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Thanks very much Wussername shame it would of been great to have you a long but i am sure we will find someone it will be like busses three will come at the same time ...

Hi Geoffrey,I would just get them to check the connections and brushes on the bow thruster before taking the boat out of the water, if it proves to be a gearbox issue then the boat can always be lifted.RegardsAlan Edited September 8, 2015 by ranworthbreeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
