BroadAmbition Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hmmmm, the posts do read kinda like I have either got two MrsG's or two in one! Now that would be kinda interesting to say the least! I can see the odd benefit but a whole lot more trouble involved with corrective training Griff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 I guess that would depend on who was retraining who? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Two girlies at once? In a past life before I met MsG it was kinda common with me One piece of advice that my Dad gave me, which I passed onto my lad and in the fullness of time will do so to our grandson:- 'Son, if it's got t*ts or tyres then it's going to be trouble or expensive' He wasn't far wrong !

BroadAmbition Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I made that mistake last year, having to depart early Sunday and missing much of the weekends events. Not this time, departing leisurely sometime Monday Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelgirl Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 We are in no rush to get away either so probably Monday for us too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Getting excited now. This time a week today (2215) we should have been stern berthed at Beccles for just over 1 x Hr We have a flotilla of 2 meeting somewhere on the Lower Bure for an eta at GYA at or around 1700 for the Breydon passage then onto Beccles. Anyone else? Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springsong Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I think I have managed a couple of extra days so will be on the early tide on Friday and be at Beccles Friday PM but the downside is we have to leave Sunday around Three PM.

BroadAmbition Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Looking forward to seeing you there Barry. Early tide? that is at 0500 in t morning at GYA, so I take it you going to be there at around 0600 then? Given your eta of 1500 at Beccles that means a transit time of nine hours to do 23 miles? That's an average of 2:5mph - Methinks I'm not calculating correctly or missing something here Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springsong Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Well done Griff you spotted the deliberate mistake. I had intended to go via Oulton Broad Y.S. as there was no particular hurry to confirm our mooring for Sunday night and try and get a side on berth on the port side pontoon. It will make unloading me and the luggage that much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Barry, I take it you have some crew onboard with you? If you need assistance at anytime then please ask Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springsong Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Thanks Griff I have two going down and one on Sunday to go to Oulton so all things being equal I shall be OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Sorry JA I would have loved to attend such a fantastic weekend of woodie mania.
