This last couple of weeks has seen an influx of new Forumites which I am absolutely delighted with. I know other old stagers feel the same way too.
The fact is that YBW.com have been around since the 1990s; At one stage closing down, revamping and coming back on line in the format you see today. The Thames Forum is a newcomer relatively speaking and at every opportunity we have encouraged other boaters to join.
Can I ask what prompted you 'Newbies' to join and also ask that you in turn encourage others to join too. We need your input, yes! even with some of the wild and aggressive statements some are making. In my view it's all grist for the mill and makes the Forum that much more interesting.

I bought a boat and have been spending 4 months using this forum as a proxy to actually using it.

I was pointed this way by a boat surveyor and straight away found to it to be a gold mine of advice, counsel and helpful like minded souls.
Still waiting to get the boat though.......

I found it "googling" when I was researching cruising upriver. Couldn't believe I'd fallen into a gold mine of really useful info - both about the Thames and Mobo's in general.
Hubby & I regulary check it out for advice. Have also passed it on to other Thames boaters.

I’m here as I’m looking at giving up the land lubber life and becoming a live aboard. To that end I have been scouring the net for information and came across the YBW site. Had a quick browse of the forum and there within 2 pages I think, was an answer to a question I had been looking for. Lots of people here all with different stories, outlooks and boats seems like the ideal place to me to get the help I know I’m gonna need when I finally make the jump.
