Same side but further down towards the River opposite that half sunken rowing boat

Thanks for the pic, Jeff, we were entirely river based - my partner would not contemplate going to sea and in any event, Tiger Lily is single engined with a lowly Perkins 4/108.

I am not on NBN but do follow Norfolk Broads .co.uk and go by the name of Yorkie.

I will keep an eye on your exploits here and maybe look into NBN if you post regularly on there.

Jeff I don’t know if you’ve ever seen this series of videos on YouTube but it’s a very fascinating view.
It’s titled Acorn to Arabella and tells the story of a group of guys building their own boat from scratch. They even show you cutting down the tree they used as part of the build.
They also purchased a wreck (Victoria) to use as salvage, particularly all the bronze fittings to use on Arabella.

I'm between here and there most nights.....with the odd excursion into Facebook land

My partner Ros (Night Owl on here) is the same so I will be needing crew for my trips on the salty stuff

I'll certainly check it out Jim.

My main YouTube boating watch is keeping up with 'The Captain's Blog'. Robin and his videos were one of the reasons that made Ros and I decide to purchase our first boat

Also had loads of good advice from various boat members on here as well when we first went dipping our toes.
Thanks Weso and Astraeus amongst others
