  1. Stayed at these moorings last week and they are very good. The views of the sunsets across the island are magnificent!
  2. Good morning - will say the whole thing about boating is doing things differently. Shore power is great. We now have a portable solar panel which is also great. What we do when we have no hot water is to get underway and then have a shower. Hot water for washing up comes via the kettle when we haven’t got any. It’s all good
  3. Just love this. A lot of the type of thing we were doing at work at the time and it’s great to see a tourism king being so forward thinking. Thanks for sharing
  4. Hello all, I volunteer at the Museum of the Broads and are working with the Curator to capture this point in time. We are looking at the impact on the Broads of the first lockdown and changes which occurred as a result of it. We are particularly interested in feedback from anyone who has lived on a boat during that period and experienced the changes first hand. If you are able to contribute would you please let the Curator know directly at curator@museumofthebroads.org.uk and we will come back to you with full details. Thanks very much
  5. Living near our boat we are lucky enough to be able to enjoy mid summer eve cruising. I thought I would share a few photos on the weekend of the Summer Soltice taken last Sat and this Sat by our friends of our beautiful Broads. Enjoy
  6. Hello only just catching up wit this but The Wind Energy Museum at Repps were also a finalist.
  7. As one who took part in the Flotilla it was a great day. We transported Vikings as due to other circumstances well publicised most of the beer went via road. Countess of Light did take some barrels and led the procession looking beautiful whilst we had another role also well publicised. It was a fab day and all credit to the organisers!
  8. It’s a great exhibition and is focusing on the line from Great Yarmouth Beach station which goes through Stalham. I know the museum would have liked to cover many other lines as well. There is a bit on Samuel Peto.
  9. Agree the hull is right but the windows in particular on the top aren’t right. Either way she looks a lovely boat
  10. Ray that’s great. What’s more their annual ticket means you can go back again for free. Seen another example of the old Malsters type bar in the Royal Norfolk and Suffolk and also in a bar in Harwich. It’s a great concept ?
  11. Good morning all. The Museum is indeed getting a new electric trip boat with a transparent roof. Bearing in mind how good most boat windscreen wipers are they haven’t gone for one on the roof - a bit of elbow grease will resolve that one?. They are also getting a new steam engine for Falcon and the current engine will go on display. The wheelchair will be used with the accessible electric trip boat. Thanks for flagging this Springsong, and Timbo I am sure Uncle Albert would have approved. Its all good news for the Broads and for a fabulous indepenent museum. Have a lovely sunny day all.
  12. Morning - if you walk along the river past the playhouse to the next bridge - quite a busy road. Then carry onto the next Bridge on Coslany street and then cross the river you are into a very interesting bit of Norwich. You will pass the old Bullards Anchor Brewery. Cross the road and find a parth which takes you through to St Benedicts. Lost of restaurants and unique shops. Go right until you get to the Ten Bells pub. Go up Ten Bell lane - a cobbled street and keep heading up Cow hill. You will then past a glorious church with the highest church tower in Norwich (excluding the cathedrals) turn right at the top onto St Giles - another lovely road - over the flyover and the plantation garden is on the left just past the RC Cathedral. It's a decent walk from the yacht station but you will see some great parts of Norwich - enjoy!
  13. Loads better in both Stalham and Brundall now. Apparently the middle of Barton has good reception as well! Hoping the Bure black spots now much better! I have a Three wifi dongle which works well in most places.
  14. Great, very spacious and a nice cockpit to boot! Just glides through the water!
  15. When I worked there she was the only one of that type. They were lovely but to this day my fave is still the Navigator! Stunning!
