Easter afloat
Up to the boat after work this afternoon, not sure whether to stay at our marina or take it out onto the Broads with all the other Easter Bank Holiday madness

Stay in the Marina, put your feet up, have a beer and watch the Grand Prix and BTCC on the box . Have a great weekend!

Your new boat TV looks good Jeff - and is a bit bigger than my Navall 3 screen! I'll just have to use the binoculars when I watch it from the other end of the cabin!
Have you got the sky dish on top yet? |

You Jest but the new TV has both Freesat and Freeview tuners in it so it's a possibility lol

Looks good
Looks good Geoff. Can't have too many home comforts on a boat in my opinion...
TV, Central Heating, autopilot..... Not forgetting hot water bottle, bottle of favourite drink be it Malt Whisky or Fettiman's Ginger Beer.... As a footnote...some of the best waterborne entertainment can be watching others making err, a pig's ear out of berthing etc. Not that it is a good idea to be seen laughing of course... There is a harbour in Lefkas in Greece at a place called Vasilliki ( a well known windsurfing spot with good reason) where watching the attempts of some folk tackling stern to berthing in their yachts .... This only good sport after you have made a satisfactory job yourself! |

When we are going through a lock we always let any hired narrowboats go in first, I dont think a glassfibre boat will stand a chance against a 60 feet steel barge with no brakes! No locks is one big advantage of the Broads Jeff. A couple of pics to show the "fun" that you are missing out on |
