I’m John (also “admin” but I’ll use John when not administering) Cottage / bungalow / chalet / shed / shanty owner on the Thurne. We have a couple of small boats on the Broads. I’ve been coming to the Broads most of my life. We live in Lincs.

Oh well! I have alread a couple of posts so it’s only polite to introduce myself properly, the name is Paul As mentioned in another post I am a boat owner on the broads. The boat is a Birchwood TS31 by the name of Morning Swan, not exactly a broads craft but with her twin 130HP volvos, so she is also a comfortable and competent sea boat and occacionally ventures out onto the salty stuff to stretch her legs a bit. I’ve had he four years bu bee playing around with boats for around 60 yrs and have sailed/cruised on many oceans and seas in my time on various vessels but in general like the easy pace of the broads and being of an age I can spend at least half my life afloat there and the rest at home in Carlisle. Not a lot more to tell, some reading this may know me others not but if you see my boat cruising the rivers give me a wave, I usually wave back if I’m helming from up top.

Thanks for joining Paul. MorningSwan sounds like an interesting boat. Do you ever head up to Potter? Or Burgh Castle? (I keep a ski boat there)

Often pass by Burgh Castle on my ventures to the south side never moored up there though. Occasionally head off up to potter for a burger and the obligatory stroll around Latham’s On the rivers I tend to cruise on only one engine, only firing up the other for mooring or navigating through tight spots, it makes it easier to keep within the speed limits. She can be fun on Breydon or at sea though topping out around 22knots, comfy and economical cruising at 15knots.
