Last call for those interested in a CinC from Malthouse Broad to Salhouse

Fear thee not MM , you can get green anti foul

If you are on the northern rivers , then Horning Pleasure Craft would be where I would go 

[Newfies Afloat]

It’s definitely open , but the freehold is up for sale currently

If you go in The Grebe (as I do frequently) remember it is cash only 

[Somewhere To Watch The Euro 24 Football On The Broads, Who Has A Television?]

Kings Arms certainly , and Steve has said he will have the football on too at Ranworth

[Are Fender Eyelets Strong Enough For Attaching ...]

As others have stated do NOT rely on a single or two fender hook fixings to support a wringing wet persons weight , you need ideally a through hull fixing with a sturdy mounting plate behind .

[How Busy Can It Get?]

I find having reruns of something like the goons playing quietly in the background does the trick for me 

[Springer’s Retreat On The Rivers]

There is also one pontoon mooring spot at Beccles , we usually book it 

[Pipedreams]

The guy we intend using approached Richardsons and showed them his insurance etc and was told it was not possible , I’ll try and contact Paul when next up and ask him in person .

They are ok with Daniel working on boats there 

[Brooms Up For Sale]

Agreed , can we avoid spreading rumours as to potential new ownership until such a time that any “deal” is made public by those involved .

Thank you 

[Pipedreams]

As most of you know , we are moored in Richos wetshed , Richardsons have a strict no outside contractors rule (with a few exceptions) to this end , does anyone know , or have , a mooring with electricity and water which I could hire for a day so as to enable me to get Pipedreams cleaned and polished .

I have found a contractor able to do the work and they have full insurance etc in place 

 

Edited to add

I notice elsewhere that Sherz and Lynz have just had another holiday afloat on The Broads and I await their next YouTube offering eagerly , their videos are always amusing and informative .

[Can Anyone Recommend A Good Mobile Marine Engineer?]

I can confirm that I have found Daniel to be very good and reliable whenever we have used him both on Pipedreams and Cerise Lady

[Are Sensationalised Social Media And Youtube Posts Damaging The Broads Tourism Industry?]

I remember eagerly awaiting “London Rascals” next adventure in the days when he used to hire , his videos were always informative, amusing (especially his hot dog tin episode) and entertaining , his videos as a boat owner and his car adventures followed in a similar vein ; many of the new regular YouTubers could learn a lot from watching his back catalogue .

[Are Sensationalised Social Media And Youtube Posts Damaging The Broads Tourism Industry?]

With the public thirst for videos of others mishaps I can only see the current trend worsening , what is in-fact a relatively rare occurrence is being seen as commonplace and will certainly lead to some families considering a Broads holiday afloat to look elsewhere .

If the two main protagonists happen to read the forum I would invite them to perhaps instead of spending a day awaiting such occurrences at Ludham bridge , spend a day filming those families moored up somewhere like Salhouse Broad , or Ranworth where the loudest sound is often children’s laughter .

 

[Pipedreams]

Back home now after a wonderful weekend afloat , good weather and great company .

The weather changed overnight and the winds were blustery and when we approached the wetshed rain started , almost akin to hail, certainly a chill in the air .

Cambridge suffered a big storm early morning today , according to my son, with torrential hail ; it’s now chilly but sunny and the wind occasionally gusts .

Off to work now 😔, but afloat again very soon 

[A Holiday (on) Melody]

We passed you as you were on your final leg to Stalham Saturday morning , we did wave 👋🏻

If anybody else is hoping to attend the meet and wish a mooring booking to be placed please let us know as we have to finalise booking details/numbers with Salhouse 

[Pipedreams]

Excellent lunch in The Swan , Timothy Taylor well kept too 

[Pipedreams]

Left Ranworth early doors (08:00) , slow doodle upstream and managed to slot into Horning Green , Bramble had her morning “zoomies” at the park , bacon sandwich for brekkie and booked into the Swan for Sunday roast
