    A good walk might wear them out enough to make them quiet, so as to not scare all the birds away! [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

    I couldn’t agree more! I was only responding to the two earlier comments/posts made by others... Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  4. Richardson are requesting you all stay in your cars, until time to depart. The handover will be done with the lead booker only. I am actually liking the sound of this new system, no standing in queues! Perfect!

    Indeed. Unfortuantly it seem to have gone that way. Anyway, back on to my original post! Parks for the children whist some attractions are still closed....
  6. I wonder if they are delivering to the moorings at Acle? Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

    River Yare

    With small children who have been stuck at home for over three months, the risk of playing on some swings and slides in an outdoor park are worth it. Children need fresh air and exercise. We can be responsible, by avoiding already busy parks, respect 2m distancing and LOTS of handwashing, and regular use of hand sanitiser whilst at the park. Life does indeed need to get back to a ‘new normal’. For the benefit of people’s mental health as much as anything else.
  8. Please please no....🤞 We have had our all our new style paperwork emailed through, and have completed our online check in. We still have our unchanged handover time of 1pm on Saturday. So we will be hotfooting it out of the yard as fast as we can!! Richardson’s have done some brilliant videos, including one explaining how arrivals and handover will be different. It’s on there Facebook page if anyone is interested. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

    Thank you for all the suggestions! I believe play parks are allowed to open from the 4th July so fingers crossed. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  10. Barns Brinkcraft have a detailed list available... https://barnesbrinkcraft.co.uk/blog/pubs-shops-and-cafes-open-in-the-norfolk-broads-2020/?utm_source=Barnes+Brinkcraft&utm_campaign=75dd2c614b-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_03_11_03_50_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_10d1a611e8-75dd2c614b-39275211

    River Yare

    I am hoping to pick your brains. Do any moorings on the Yare have playgrounds/parks nearby? Suitable for a 4 & 6 year old. We normal stick to the River Waveney when going south. The children love the RWC playground and Pool and the Lido at Beccles, but next week the Pools will still be closed. I thought I might use it as a good reason to explore the Yare more. But I don’t know it so well. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network

  13. I have. [emoji106][emoji3] My parents hired from Martham & Eastwood when I was a teenager. I started hiring myself, from what was the Norfolk Broads Yachting Co., when I 19 and then when they sold most of the fleet to Martham. The last time I hired a yacht was my honeymoon on Zoe back in 2012. Our first child was born a year later. Thats when we switched to hiring motors boats. It was more practical with a 1 year old as I am/was the only sailor in the family. I am working on that though... This my six year old daughter racing her Poole AB.

  17. This topic reminded me of an album full of photos of my late fathers sailing holidays on the broads. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  18. Well this time next week, we should be onboard and hopefully out of the yard! Happy to up date as to what changes in the normal handover process. If we do Ranworth it will be on the island this time. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  19. It would have broken your heart to see it. It’s was just appalling. I thought about taking the children to Studland Beach for a few hours, as soon as we woke up when it would still be quiet. But then decided I just didn’t want to be a part of it, even as a resident. We normally take the rib to the beach to avoid the traffic and crowded spots even on a normal weekend. We don’t like crowds even under normal circumstances. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  20. This is exactly what we have done. Normally do 10 days to include the May half term and then another week for the October half term. This year May obviously got cancelled. Children are at home being home schooled anyway, to took a chance and book for the 4th as our favourite boat was suddenly available. This was before the date 4th July had even been outlined as a possible. It was just fluke! We have only every been in the school summer holidays once. It was our honeymoon which we spent on Zoe from Martham. It was a really quiet week... it was the first week of the 2012 Olympics. No idea if that was why the broads were so quiet, everyone had Olympic fever? Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  21. Is is chaos down here on the the south coast... https://www.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/News/News-Articles/Major-incident-declared-after-services-overstretched-by-thousands-flocking-to-Bournemouth-beaches.aspx Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  22. Thanks for posting this, I am waiting to see what the new handover procedure will be like for us on the 4th July. We will be the first on the boat for 3 months. Like you a private boat owner at home with years of experience and qualifications. We have hired from the yard twice a year for years, and we have had this boat before. BUT I would imagine they maybe have to apply the same rules to everyone, for fairness. I don’t know.. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  23. P is for Pet We had Monacao P booked for our Autumn break, but I got a phone call a few weeks ago to tell us it won’t have been built! Due to Covid they have obviously had to stop building. It confused me a bit as I thought the Pet boats would be the oldest boats in class not the newest. Maybe they have just had to have a bit of a change about. They were fabulous about sorting us out with another boat though, top class Richardson’s service as always. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  24. P.s Having said all of above, last October on the same boat, the water was too high at any state of tide for us to pass under. [emoji22] Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
  25. Thank you! That’s brilliant. I wasn’t worried regarding our health. As I said, happy to take our chances!! I was more worried that H&S and all the red tape might get in the way. Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network
