Hi there,
Just to clarify, although the 'season' will start early this year on 23 March, the mooring charges at Ranworth will not apply before 1 April this year (as per the website).

Tom
considering the statement posted here, why has one of our members reported being charged £16 at Ranworth Today- 31/03/24,

I think my body is waking me earlier and earlier to be ready for when the clocks change, so my previous 4am starts will be 5am from tomorrow.

best get away early tomorrow as thats the first day of charging- I bet they will be round and asking for money as soon as they arrive.

But seeing as I was planning on leaving home at 6am tomorrow morning, in my book that’s going to be 5am.
the boot fair tomorrow here starts at 6am so I bet it wont be busy until later- glad my normal waking time is earlier than that so I can be there on time.

if you go down that route BT, then the next time it breaks, replace it with a cheap mixer head

With Water Rail at 26 foot, side on with 3 posts visible- roughly 12 foot between each post most places.

25 foot, generally, if you can see 3 mooring posts you will fit.

I suggest a lanyard and hang the keys around your neck, or are you one of those people who loudly complain about your lost glasses that are usually pushed up and on your forehead?
My ex's grandad would always lose his walking stick, it was painted white to be more visible, but it was invariably found in one of the ridges of the greenhouse roof or on the shed roof where he had put it for safe keeping.

Me and a team 3d printed over 25k+ face masks for the NHS, care homes and other key workers and only stopped because the government threated us with persecution for providing uncertified items to the NHS (And disciplinary action for NHS staff taking the items) .. Strange how we went from police hand delivering masks, radio interviews and MP's thanking us then being threatened with legal action.
I managed to print a few hundred, mine ended up going to my daughters workplace- a NHS training centre, as staff still had to be trained, mostly in covid related practices at that time, so though the NHS staff had PPE, the trainers etc were struggling to get hold of it. they were so busy that none were furloughed, but a lot of them did work from home for the duration.

I remember I was furloughed for a month, and when I came back it was to a 2 month backlog, they literally called me back as soon as they could, it was a life changer for me as working from home became the norm, and ever since it has saved me from 3 hours a day commuting, I now go into the office only for training or meetings- though now its a 2 day trip to coventry and a 4 hour drive each way when i do go into the office.
my neighbours - well they never stopped doing the babysitting for their extended families (many ex's and many kids), so it was unsurprising that they quickly went down with covid- but that didnt stop them as they still continued as they still continued to be the contact point where the kids were handed between parents for visitation rights and they continued having people in the house through lockdowns.
I bubbled with my sister and parents to keep them supplied with shopping as soon as that was allowed, my sister had been getting shopping for them and dropping it off at the door up to that point, but as she doenst have a car, the bigger stuff was problematical.
as far as I know I have still managed to avoid covid, despite me finding that I could not breath in a mask (I tried to go shopping once, and by halfway round asda I was gasping from lack of breath and had to take it off,) when I tried again at home, within 5 minutes of wearing the mask my blood oxygen dropped below 94% and I couldnt continue. so I found a large mesh scarf they I could wear, as a token gesture.

Helen, one of these days I'll summon up the motivation to get out of bed as early as you to beat the tide. I see the benefit but when boating I tend to stick to my normal sleep pattern and put up with the tides.
I once did a 5am start from hardly cross with the aim to get back to beccles early to go get a new cooker- caught the tides early and made it there for 9.30am with the tide behind me both down river, through the new cut and then upriver to Beccles

the main issue with the Chet when it is like that is when you encounter something coming the other way, or wild swimmers who dont seem to understand theres not a lot of places for you to go to avoid them, and that once you start to pass them they become very difficult to keep track of from the helm of a boat, even if you are brushing the reeds on the opposite bank.

you need a volvo griff, pull one pin, remove headlight 10 seconds- now changing the marker light bulb- thats buried about 6" inside the headlight unit and takes about 30 minutes.

being made in the Royal Navy, well my dad was too and he is now in his 90's, though he will be the first to admit that most parts are now defective or not fully functional, he has managed to let the NHS deal with most repairs, and they are keeping him going, with a bit of extra bracing here and there, and replacement headlight lenses.
Mum wasnt made in the RN and she is a couple of years older than Dad, but has had NHS undercarriage repairs with a main ball joint replacement. She too is still going though with reduced mobility nowadays, she can still get around the house, though everything is a handhold.

Early Start To The New Season

nope, I heard it direct from a forum member (elsewhere, so not naming anyone here).
to me it sounds like the quay attendants (or at least one of them) did not read the memo and have been charging boaters, which was why I asked the question.
the least I would expect to hear is an apology and a refund sent out to all who were charged, as its this type of action that brings the Broads Authority into disrepute.
