    The Haven Bridge

    Morning Griff, thanks for your reply. Didn't expect you to so late at night.

    Although this problem of Haven bridge has no direct effect for me. I find the attitude of bridge control to be unacceptable. Just as well you didn't all have prepaid train tickets.

    MM, I fully agree.

    Sorry Griff what I should have said was any charge made/requested for opening the bridges or for Indy to stay overnight buy Peel Ports. I trust it was free of charge. Sorry if I didn't make my self clear.

    I'm off to bed now as I'm sure you need a few good nights sleep to.

    Rich, taken from BA tolls page.

    1. Craft Registered between 1 January and 31 March
      New craft registered with the Authority, or craft being registered to a new owner and not previously licenced, on or after 1 January will recieve a 50% discount on the appropriate annual toll up to 31 March.

    'new owner not previously licensed' is the important part. 

    Have a look at the bottom of this page.

    Morning Robin, hope you slept well last night. Look forward to following you today on here and ais. Weather here in Norwich is cold but calm.

    Thanks Paul for your video. It shows how nasty the entrance into Gt Yarmouth can be if not slack water. There is a nasty swirl in the mouth on the Gorleston side at anything other than slack. It would be why Indy was rocking and rolling as she came in.I'm sure will tell us more once he's well rested.

    Thanks ALL for your photos and videos over the last few days, I've hardly got anything done.

    Stuff the work, the boat is more important IMHO.  I know that the crew prob have little choice which is modern life for you. They have done such a sterling job it seems a shame they cannot see it through to the end. Well done all concerned.

    l would love to add my name to the crew list but have to be in Norwich all day tomorrow.

    Hi vanessan, we made the decision a few years back and now live on our boat. We didn't want to be stuck in some care home, blanket over our knees wishing we had done this and that. Mind you the bucket list has not all been ticked yet.

    I think I will have to frame a copy of the quote and fix it up in Lady Linda.

    Come on Indy, where are you, the suspense is killing me.

    Well done team Indy. Hope to follow you more closely tomorrow. Had hoped to wave you in at Gt Yarmouth on Monday but now have to wait in for deliveries on both Monday and Tuesday :default_sad:. Hopefully a few others will be able to wave from the harbour mouth.

    All the very best wishes, hope Sheila is feeling a lot better. I don't think a fish and chip supper will cut it tonight:default_rolleyes:.
