Some do, some don’t. Some couldn’t care less about rules. I think private boat owners and experienced hirers mostly know the rules and mostly obey them. Not all though by any means, particularly on your first point - speeding!

Reopening Friday 6 August according to EDP.

Apparently Mamma Mia has been renamed Bella Donna. I hope they don’t join the two words together by mistake!

I believe it’s closed at the moment. I remember walking to it from Ranworth many years ago and it was certainly very good then.

I see the New Inn at Horning is advertising for waiting staff on Facebook. Up to £9 per hour based on experience with ‘great weekly tips’.

Often seen them between Beccles and Geldeston and, yes, they are fond of pulpit and pushpit rails in boatyards!

That’s the one I was thinking it might be. (Neave’s drainage mill according to my OS map.) Doubt if there would be any keep clear signs on that ladder.

I’m struggling to work out exactly where the boat is moored unless it’s at one of the drainage mills. Perhaps KevinB could clarify? All the emergency ladders on BA 24 hour moorings are very clearly marked, if not on the quay heading itself either side of the ladder then on the ladder itself. This particular place however doesn’t appear to be a formal mooring.

You’ll need a nice picnic boat for pottering around Hickling and Horsey Ian. 🛶

That is good Ranger service! Nice to hear.

Maybe the next lot?

Going in the opposite direction I guess I should have added. Doubt if we could go fast enough to pass very much!! 😁

I’ve just discovered where all the boats are - GYYS! We probably passed 15-20 boats crossing Breydon but the YS is still very busy with boats double moored too.

Welcome to the forumJTR641. I’d be interested to know what time you were crossing Breydon when you got turned back. Rangers must have been on the ball.

It seems to me that there are a quite a lot more boats coming south this year. Beccles YS was very busy on Monday night.

The Salhouse line runs through Thorpe into Norwich. Brundall is on a different spur but would be affected if it was one of the Thorpe bridges that had been hit.

My thoughts entirely. What’s a rave? 😵‍💫

It’s finally caught up with us in Suffolk, some heavy rain this afternoon. Certainly not so many day boats out today.

Alpo. Are you a rag and stick or stinky person?

I much prefer Vegemite, reminds me of Oz!

We’ve been out for 3weeks now and no problems anywhere so far. I’ve shopped in Morrison’s in Norwich, Tesco’s in Beccles and the Coop in Loddon. The Coop did seem to have a shortage of green veg and the meat shelves were a bit sparse so they may have been experiencing delivery difficulties. Of course I may have just picked the wrong time to shop!

I think the dire forecast put a lot of local privateers off for this weekend. Usually Saturday and Sunday sees many of the big gin palaces out and about but both yesterday and today have been unusually quiet. Still quite a number of day boats out from WRC and Hipperson’s and wherever they hire from on Oulton Broad.

That really does help. I believe, although I’m not 100% certain, that you could get a remote control for the bow thruster. If mooring solo that could be a real boon, may be worth asking about?

from me too. I love that photo of the sunset through the open door. Gorgeous!

from me too.
