I over wintered there the first year I had a boat, near Audlem Wharf on the main line. It was a bastard winter that opened my eyes to boating, I was frozen in for ten weeks.

If the ice is bad, can it damage the boat?

Not damage the boat per se, it will scrape the blacking off the hull meaning it will have to come out of the water more often (costly) to get re-blacked. I have broke ice when I've had to... read... when there was a young lady involved. 

 

I wouldnt walk down the driveway these days for the same thing.

Yome alright @eggsarascal?

 

Word is they found a bag of bones in the river. 
 

Anyone we know?? 
 

Murder inquiry after human bones found in River Stour in Sudbury https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-53942532

Word on the street (that's all it is) is it's the RAF bloke that went missing in 2016 after a night out in town, that said two other blokes disappeared, assumed dead over the last few years. Who'd have thunk it in rural Suffolk?

Can’t believe that this has taken so long. I wish the absolute scare mongering and hysteria would abate and common sense could start to play a bigger part as has happened in Sweden from day one. 
On another note I’ve just viewed  the video of the guy being arrested and sprayed on the train for not wearing a mask. That police officer was an absolute disgrace and clearly not fit in many ways to carry out that role. He basically assaulted the guy whom was stating the truth ie he does not have to disclose medical information that pertains to him not wearing a mask. Way way too keen to get physical and quite frankly the guy being arrested showed great restraint under the circumstances.

Agreed. 

 

I was speaking to my brother in law in Sweden the other day, and the restrictions to travel almost seem bizarre to him as everything is pretty much back to normal there. 

 

Almost every other country mocked their approach in the first instance, but they aren't seeing a second wave, whereas the rest of Europe is heading that way. They may have the last laugh.

...And they won’t have brought their economy to its knees in the process.

If you look at France  which now has big second wave seems odd thats there not more deaths yet?

 

 

 

Could be:

 

 

In spring, the number of actual cases was much higher than those that were recorded.

Younger people getting it this time

Better Treatments in hospital

Covid is now a milder strain?

Delay between infection & dying...

 

 

Combination or above.....

 

Next few weeks should   give a better idea of whats happening.....
