    Otters Spotted

    Just spotted a pair of otters on the way up to Wayford.Sounded like they had young hiding in the reeds but unfortunately I missed a photo opportunity as I was too slow with my camera.

    Lazy Heron

    Has anyone else seen the lazy heron on the moorings outside wroxham broad.I am fishing here and each time I catch a fish it flies over to take the fish before I have unhooked it or even before I have taken it out of the water.Needless to say it hasn't had a fish from me but it must be hungry if it relies on people fishing for its dinner

    I would think the OP, Mondeoman, must be sitting scratching his head wondering how his post became what it has! Having said that, it is an interesting debate and one that needs following closely by anyone considering one of the Alphacraft boats. I remember when we bought our boat, it wasn't in a very good state but we were able to have it surveyed prior to purchase so we knew pretty well what we were going to have to shell out to get it serviceable. (And whatever you think you're going to have to pay out - double it and then some probably!!) 

    I hope that a lot of the would-be purchasers will be forum members or at least people who take an interest in the forums, all I can add is my advice to keep reading and take very careful note of all that has been said. 

    Yes I am,but it has been interesting reading.

    That was part of the reason for booking Rio light for the low airdraft in the hope of getting thru potter Heigham but was told on pick up that would not be happening,shame as I haven't been past there for a long time.We had a walk up past the bridges on the last night and couldnt believe the empty free moorings that side.Will it get to a point where no hire craft will be able to get thru i wonder?Another reason was at time of booking we were bringing our dog but fortunately he was able to stay with a family member for the duration which after spending 10 days on her I am grateful  he did because he would never got up those steep steps to the top helm if we had moored side on,which don't show up too well on the Herbert woods  website.

    just sitting in Herbert woods boat yard feeling sad, waiting for tomorrow to hand over Rio light 1.Had a fantastic 10 days aboard weather could not have been better apart from Last Saturdays wind.I am going home with a few bumps on my head (head room is not good in this boat).A big hello to Alice and chameleon who I met in potter Heigham last tuesday (I think) or Wednesday. I can't wait to come back and we are thinking October half term.
