As marshman has said, Loddon Staithe is a BA 24 hour mooring. The BA took over Pye’s Mill last year (?) from the parish council. Maybe put the question to the BA by email if you want a definitive answer?

If you say so Cap’n, if you say so.

‘and using the wrong side of the scale rule’ made me chuckle. Good article, could make for some squirmy rear ends!

My word, how unusual. Blame Cap’n Jay. This topic was all quite straightforward until he came along!! Bless him, he is so innocent and naive. But I suppose we must continue to indulge and educate him.

I had pigtails then!

Good heavens no, life was more colourful then! (You could use the word colour then without worrying you’d said something wrong!!)

It’s when life was a little less complicated Cap’n Jay. No mobile phones (which you could carry in your back pocket anyway!), no social media (which meant people talked to each other face to face), no YouTube (so embarrassing images of your helmsmanship weren’t displayed for all to see) and you could sit and fish and watch kingfishers without a boater demanding you move because he/she wanted your spot. You’d have liked it I’m sure.

That does explain your post, must admit it had me confused!

And certainly no guarantee that anyone is going to like it!

It is a hire cottage and has a lovely waterside garden with mooring overlooking the Broad. Did you hire it 140153?

Only one minor mention of anglers in this thread bigbream, not trying to stir things up are you?

Could well be Fleet Dyke.

South Walsham.

Coltishall?

Bramerton?

Even so, that’s not Wednesday! The 15th is Friday, Wednesday is the 13th. We’re using the gregorian calendar now marshman.

Friday surely?

Not seen that before. Thanks for posting it NN. IMHO this Acle thing needs to be knocked on the head before it gets any more out of hand. Costs are bound to rise even further and I can see funds from the nav account being used to top up the budget on the basis a few moorings will be provided and possibly a water point. A debAcle it certainly is.

Usually no it doesn’t. I did read elsewhere of someone arriving at Neatishead to moor up and found the moorings taken over by anglers. I gather they felt intimidated enough not to ask anyone to move. That’s not on.

I don’t think SSBoatyard would leave boats moored across the water and electrics though MM. I believe the BA rangers are pretty reasonable during the winter months allowing longer mooring but there are a few owners who do take the proverbial. These are the ones that need reporting.

Sometimes I tell people I am going to the far east when they ask where I’m off to. Well, it’s East Anglia and Potter’s quite far over to the east isn’t it? Living on the South coast, you’re all northerners to me!!!

CaptDave - have you reported these boats to the BA? I have no doubt the Authority is well aware of them but, the more reports they get, the more they may be inclined to do something.

Temperance in what pray?

I thought you’d been posting rather a lot recently Speedtriple! Hope the foot’s getting better. Welcome to the forum Perryjohnharris. Sometimes topics stay on track - if you’re lucky!

Should I have said chunky maybe?
