I had to nip into Norwich yesterday afternoon, and was surprised to see them moored three abreast outside the Hotel Wroxham

If you want peace, prepare for war.
It is attributed to Plato as well as assorted Roman Generals and was the accepted motto of those of us who served in the Forces during the Cold War.
Still appropriate in this case, I thought.

My yacht tank is a fibreglass shaped to fit unit under the V berth. You can remove the top which is sikaflexed down - so a few years ago I did. Whilst the water looked and seemed fine, there was a awful lot of back spores on the inside of the tank, and it does get used a fair bit too.

Let's look back to the OP's original post on this thread. It was only one line :
I'd have been straight on the phone to the yard.
… and as I later clarified, this is more out of concern of possible damage to their property

Ah well - next time I personally see people having 'high spirits' I'll ignore it.
I've seen many dangerous, life threatening, and downright illegal activities, but hey ho. So if it's your boat getting rammed by a tipsy hirer, your private quay heading being burned away by a disposable barbi, someone you know being towed over the back of a hire boat over the prop on a rope - I'll walk away.

OK - as I started it, what would I consider fair ?
As I said, I'd ring the yard and probably include a picture / video. Main reason is I think they should be aware so firstly, they can check for damage to their property and secondly, if considered appropriate, they can withhold any deposit or escalate further with the appropriate authorities.
Maybe a few withheld deposits would help offset some of the lockdown losses

To tell them what, exactly?
What offence would you have them charged with?
Take your pick ;-)
The master of a vessel shall navigate the vessel
(a) with care and caution; and
(b) at a speed and in a manner which:
(i) avoids injury and the likelihood of injury to the occupants of
other vessels;
(ii) avoids damage and the likelihood of damage to other
vessels, property, moorings or structures on the banks
comprised in the navigation area;
(iii) avoids giving reasonable grounds for annoyance to other
persons using the navigation area;

So does that mean the mot due on my van in July will be extended?

Yes, it should get extended

Just had an email from DVSA, the 6 month MoT extensions will cease on the 1st of August.
I assume that's for new extensions not ones already granted

I got stung by that this year - went to add my just turned 17 year old daughter, and they won't quote till I've been with them a year

Quite ridiculous.
When a rescue boat is in a rescue situation, there is a life to be saved. Right then and there. Surely that still has priority over some nominally chosen "social distance"? Out in the open air, on the river? At least I hope so!
How do the Hemsby Lifeboat get on with all this? Fish them out of the water on the end of a long pole? Or perhaps tow them back in to the bank?
I am starting to despair of this sort of nonsense.
Well for a start St Johns advise no mouth to mouth now - just compressions, so things are certainly different as they were standard for drowning. Personally, I'd probably take the risk

Thanks and phew as I had to make a quick decision! It was a bit spendy at £2K. I think we’ll book a dinghy too, I’ve to call back in a fortnight to book.
Crikey - that's my annual berth, insurance, BSC and toll, then my dinghy berth, club membership, tax and insurance and still a bit left over ! ( Canoe licence ? )
Makes you realise how lucky those who can afford ( just ! ) their own boats are

Depending on what's re-opened, and how much extra you want to spend, obviously the bright lights of Great Yarmouth or Norwich may appeal. Then there are other water activities such as paddle boarding at Hickling, or various activities at Whitlingham. Don't forget your own kayak should get a short term visitor toll to be legally useable

Is this a case of the welded lines either side being under compression against the bridge section preventing opening, or that they'd expand into the gap preventing closure again ?

Never never leave unleaded petrol in a tank or the carburettor as it will almost solidify in jets.
But between a Tuesday and a Saturday was a bit annoying ……….

If you thought that unleaded petrol didn't last long before it went stale.
watch some of the car auction sites on you tube and find out what the Americans think of ethanol fuel, three months and its off and clogs up injectors like crazy.
The only reason I latched onto this is I’ve been having a lot of trouble with blocked jet on my outboard. Consensus seems to be it’s because I’ve been running ordinary unleaded which gums up a lot easier.

How may of us here are going to be affected by the change to 10% bioethanol petrol later this year, and the fact some cars can't run it

Well, I braved Tesco in Stalham for the first time since lockdown yesterday - and won't be returning anytime soon. The local populace's idea of how to avoid getting or spreading this disease in nonexitstant. Grab trolly and saunter past cleaning station, reach past you to get things on the shelf, totally ignore one way arrows ( and the look I got for saying AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SEE THESE ARROWS in a loud voice went down like a brick ) staff who when you express concern respond with 'yeah, well people are getting a bit fed up with it.... '
Sorry - will use Roy's next time. They seem a bit better behaved and set up

Fair enough - I took advantage of lockdown to borrow the holiday home next doors drive ( with permission ) for a skip
