    I think the problem with The Fishermans is that the trade is only seasonal and the holiday park which own The Fishermans cannot get a tenant to take it on full time. The last few years I believe the holiday park have opened it themselves almost as a loss leader because it is seen as part of the facilities of the park for guests. Therefore they open it once the park is starting to get busy and close it the moment guest numbers start to drop off. I may be wrong but I don't think the park has a clubhouse as such, therefore the only bar / restaurant is The Fishermans and is central to the parks facilities, otherwise I think they would leave it shut if they could.

    To be honest the whole pub and marina could do with some much needed investment. A lot of the entrance to the marina is falling into the Waveney. Could probably do with Goodchild putting in an offer for the marina to extend its moorings.

    hi

    a little update, the Burgh castle park,mariner ,and pub has been sold, to the guy who owns kingfisher, this is in the public domain ,as letters have been sent out to berth holders ,and park customers,personaly hoping for some investment as really like mooring there,

    I think that’s a result of being in the virtual battery called the wetshed I had  the same issue with my rudder. 

    If that,s the case i think i would deploy a couple of "hanging " anodes, in line of sight ,under the water,ie near to prop and gear, it must be connected to a good earth, engine for example if propshaft is bonded to it, use a heavy insulated copper wire to connect ,or a stainless one, storage is easy if you route it well ,ie thourgh a deck cupboard for example, so when under way you can bung it in cupboard !:default_icon_wave:

    Only places i can think can take a lorry , would be wrc fuel quay heading, they may charge  around 150 thou, goodchilds wouldbe about the same i ve had one lifted off a hiab lorry there to use there dock crane,

    using a slip would be tricky as the lorry would be at a too steep of an angle ,best justbite the billet and pay a yard to do it.

    don,t know about the Brundle area thou, best ring round the yards.

    But...the most memorable thing about the weekend, and not in a good way, was that I was bitten to pieces by some critters, don't know what they were, never felt a thing at the time, but crikey did they itch during the night. At least a dozen bites on both arms, both legs and my head, they still itch like crazy. Never had anything like that before."

    We have got the same problem in our garden at the moment ,there not mozys , they are knat,s, have a stripped body when looked at close, waiting for the bats to get in gear, also last year dragon flies the size of spitfires patrolled the garden,it,s a real pain for a couple of weeks or so(we are surrounded by dykes where they breed

    I do however suspect that the farmers tractor has a significant part in what I consider to be responsible for this dramatic change in our country side. And for that we all share a responsibility.

    so true, but it,s at the smaller level in the eco system you need to worry about, ie bugs, has a knock on effect, when did your windscreen get covered in bugs on a night run lately, i cover 45 thou a year...hardly any bugs on the motor, bugs feed birds, birds feed anything that can catchem ect, ect, the land is going the same way as the sea,s ,the north sea is dead through overfishing and polution, answer you cry?

    cul the human race! ie stop any more breeding china has to , what,s wrong with one child instead of two?.....the answer is the world runs on money which requires growth.....you need more workers for more growth......then death, for all, sorry the next generations are doooooooooooooooooommed!!
