Night Naving On The Norfolk Broads & A Catch Up About Life…

So I grabbed my phone and made a video where I’m onboard a boat - but in reverse order and back to basics, I talk about selling Independence, what is Boston really like and not forgetting talking Volvos.

[@alismith6353]

Great to see you back bud. We were on the south broads last week, and wondered whether we’d bump into you at all. Hope you are well, and keep up the great work.

[@dazzler5012]

Good update. Know the road very well lol

[@sonic3333]

Good to see you back. Ever thought of trying an Audi A6 allroad v6 tdi

We were on the Broads the other week and I was wondering how you were getting on, glad to hear all is well! Interesting to hear your comments regarding the diesel warm air heating. We froze to death most nights as I was worried about using the eberspacher heating most of the time, or starting the engine to fire it up. Only on the last few nights did my girlfriend just turn it on from 'cold' and it worked fine every time! Maybe I'm too over cautious

[@TheCaptainsBlog]

The only time these heaters use quite a lot of Amps from batteries is during start up when the glow plug is on. Once running it’s just a 12v fan that blows the air using power, a a small solenoid fuel pump. They have robust safety circuitry to cut the heater out if it detects a fault, and your onboard CO alarm should be the fail safe to any exhaust gas leaks or where the gases are blown back into the boat. Therefore if you’re cold, use it I say.

Hello Stranger - have they let you out at last!! - Only joking. So good to see you once again. - Hylander.

Good to see you back, you’ll have to get night vision for the night time cruises, have you worked out your flashing lights yet. I reckon there’s a speed camera on the A149

[@TheCaptainsBlog]

Was a storm off the Dutch coast causing the flashes - atmospheric conditions caused the light to bounce down from the upper atmosphere despite the sky above being clear. There are speed cameras on the A149 but are average speed and infrared - no flash.

Hi Robin nice to know your doing good, with the millage your doing you could be a bus driver or a long distance lorry driver on the Isle Of Man. Have you still got the Merc? You don't want to sell that if you can help it, that is a nice car. Good to see you doing a Blog again. Take care and good wishes from ME and my better half

[@mikegoggin7651]

Well, well, nice to see you ......

[@mikegoggin7651]

Excellent catch up, Robin, thanks and best wishes.

Has the Volvo had the Polestar Optimization done to it?

[@williamodonnell2498]

Passed Trixie at Irstead

[@williamodonnell2498]

Would have loved to have stopped and said hello but no space. Onboard Thunder.

[@davesandall4530]

Blimey I live just outside Boston seems bit odd you driving past all places I know

[@davesandall4530]

Head towards Louth and the wolds that’s not flat or far away

[@JohnSmith-qe2qw]

About chuffing time! Hire more boats!

[@craigy_baby]

Do you still have share in Blonde Ambition?

[@TheCaptainsBlog]

Hi, yes I do still have a share in BA

[@billyb5059]

Are you still with the same woman I've not seen her for a long time

[@TheCaptainsBlog]

Yep still with her, 8 years and ticking. She is dislikes the small boat though and is far more committed to running than boating - training for her first Marathon in 2022
