Looks very quiet there John

It can be a bit dodgy at times around there but mainly the speeds are low so as not to to too much damage. Now getting hit full on at Stokesby at full speed with the tide behind them which nearly put our boat on the bank has put us off mooring there for life. John

Thankyou to you all who keep our great forum up and running, see you on the rivers in 2021 😀👍

Wouldn’t go down the formica route for that job with its serious razor like edges as still got the scars from my apprentice shop fitting days ! John

That’s the point Ian I am at home haven’t left Norfolk all year ! Was it only a few weeks ago people from London were touring all over Norfolk ! That’s when people should have stayed at home. John

I know this has been done many times but can someone me one clarify the correct information regarding boat usage in our new tier 4 in Norfolk. I have just looked on the BA website and it still states no overnight stays (is this old information ?) , but on my morning walk around Salhouse broad early doors there are hire boats around also wild swimming taking place! I know and quite rightly they don’t want the area flooded with people from all over for obvious reasons but as we live 10 minutes from our boat some sense is needed. John

Having seen Swiftway at the boat yard earlier in the week I would defiantly recommend her if you are looking for this size of boat, you won’t be disappointed. John

Yes Ranworth easy sorry for the confusion 😀 John

And a lovely sunset tonight as well😀

It’s a Sheerline 1020 originally a Falcon mould , very nice boat especially to hire. John

2 new cars on the little plumstead roundabout last week. Definaltly a full time job for a team re fitting signage. I guess the car insurance companies will have to pay. John

Oh new signs I wonder if they have made the writing bigger as some people can’t read 24HRS MOORING ONLY and STERN ON ONLY John

You have a very small hole there Mm Ours as photo John

Also traffic lights on the Wroxham to Salhouse road as they are extending the roadside path. So 3 x temp lights getting home from work in 3 miles😂 John

You don’t want to be in there anyway as I’m lead to believe there is a Yorkshire man that thinks he is a comedian frequenting the place 😂 John

Have you got a mooring at Stalham or Horning ? John

We should have been on that boat at the beginning of October but it was cancelled due to strong streaming. John

Fresh water flush every time after having the last 2 boats river water flush. Our current boat has a huge water tank and was built with fresh flush so may not work successfully with a smaller tank or retro fit. I know when we have been out with our daughter when they have hired a broom 30 (fresh water flush) they had to fill up a lot more than us. John

The weather has been great in Norfolk since the lockdown started on Thursday. Really nice boating weather 😉 John

All quiet at Salhouse broad this morning before the crowds arrive. John

So Smoggy out of Yarmouth what’s the rough mileage to Wells and is it doable at 10kts bearing in mind there is a limited time either side of high water in one hit as I guess there’s no place in between. John

You might have been better with the ex Richardson’s San Marino I have just passed on the A11 heading south that is green. Congratulations I hope you have many happy years with her.😀 John

Very lucky if you can find one up north at the moment busy busy more chance down south . John

Good luck Satchmo and thanks for the update.It doesn’t sound like a very healthy environment to be living in with all the damp take care with your health mate and all the best with your job search. You seem quite a positive guy though especially with what you have just been through so I’m sure you will be sorted sooner than later. John

Congratulations Mr & Mrs G nice to hear some good news 😀 John
