CheshireCat Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks Alan will do , we have it booked in i am sure they will do all that before lifting her out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Lifting a boat out is a dear old job so if the Corsican is due to come out for the winter then why not leave it until then, it's not far away? I'm sure that you can manage without a thruster for a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshireCat Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Our favourite time on the river is the winter , spent the last three Christmases on the boat so we will just have to have her done it is a of a shame as she was out of the water two weeks a go but there you go the joy of being a boat owner jennymorgan...

Hockham Admiral Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 As Alan, (RB) said, Geoffrey I'd also get them to check the fuse... they're usually about 100A but they can and do blow occasionally.Whatever, Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks i will , we think there is something caught round it as it slowed down before it stopped and it had worked fine when we left the mooring we had stayed at the night before so who knows ...

BroadAmbition Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 I would have thought it much cheaper to get in a dinghy and have a look-see in some clear water say above Wroxham bridge, the thruster can't be more than a foot or so below the surfaceGriff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Come on guys, there must be someone who can help Geoffrey crew his beautiful Boat, I would do it at the drop of a hat but I am clearly not of the male persuasion and seeing as it is a lads week I don't think it would be a very good idea, although I would love to be a fly on the wall and see what goes on lol Good luck Geoffrey, I hope someone comes along for you very soonGrace 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 sadly the date falls the week before I'm afloat with the famil, else I would be happy to help. I have often thought joining lads week would be great fun. Sadly the lads group to which I used to belong are now well and truly pressed, under the thumb so it no longer goes.

BroadAmbition Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Well Paul there are 20 odd of us this year on four boats, next year we may have to hire a third Jewel-of-Light so room for six more!Most of our crowd are now either too old to be pressed under the thumb or happily free and single Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRascal Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Bloody hell this is getting to be edge of seat stuff with me checking in to see the latest state of play so to speak and rather a roller coaster for you.

Have you posted this up on the various Facebook groups for the Broads? I think that the only problem with that idea, Robin, is that Geoffrey wouldn't have a clue who he was getting and might even put himself at some risk? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many talk the talk. Some can walk the walk. Few can talk and walk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
