    We do exactly the same, that way we always know where everything is.

    we also take a few games like dominoes, ludo etc. that don't take much space. great to pass an hour or so if moored up on a damp afternoon...... not that it ever is in Norfolk 

    We have to have cards, spent many a time playing them waiting to get under Ludham Bridge in various hire boats - still got the old score sheets as a reminder of who was with us :55c8f94983015_default_happyparty:

    We used to have a "boat box" - Mallet for any wild / broken mooring, good pair boat shoes, torch .

    Small first aid kit/ emergency sewing kit, broads map, matches/ gas lighter, basic condiments - pepper mill an essential for us! -  door mat and chairs to sit out on the bank on a sunny day and watch the world go by. :default_cool:

    Trouble is that no matter where you eat or what yo order, you always see someone else's meal being brought out and wish you'd ordered that instead.

    Or is that just me? :default_norty:

    Me too! Although occasionally I get it right :default_blink:

    "I love boating"..........you haven't a screw loose then :default_wink:

    That's the trouble with trying something different, I stick to anything with gravy or a good old steak with all the trimmings, can't go wrong with that

    My most memorable meal was at The Swan, Horning, it was our wedding anniversary and im indoors went all out and paid for three courses and wine of course, I had boring steak and chips but it was probably the best steak I've ever had and the chips were to die for, chunky, crispy and fluffy inside, I'm salivating at the thought of it

    To be honest, I don't think we've ever had a bad meal in a Broadland pub, just lucky maybe or just not that fussed, who knows but I do know I'd much rather have a bad meal at a Broadland pub then a superb one anywhere else lol

    Not entirely a screw loose! Almost,  as we took the plunge and bought one! I've made bad menu choices but not really had a bad meal and I agree with your sentiments because  as long as I'm not cooking and on the water I don't really care. :default_beerchug:

    I so agree Katie, one man's meat is another man's poison as my dad always says, the problem is people tend to rave on about a bad pub or meal rather than the good one's.  I remember once when my Aunt (the one who hates boating) came the one and only time on a boating holiday with us, she complained the meal she had just eaten (and completely finished) was awful, when challenged what was awful about it, it turned out she just didn't like it as she had never eaten it before and wanted to try something different, the fact she just didn't like it had nothing to do with the quality, the rest of us had no problems with our food and to top it off it was the Bridge Inn at Acle, anyone has a problem with that place has a screw loose as far as I'm concerned but then to hate boating you gotta be as mad as a hatter anyway :default_norty:

    I love boating :default_stinky: but eating out is always a risk, I've made some bad menu choices :facepalm:and looked enviously at what everyone else had and wish I chosen theirs! My favourite meal so far on The Broads was at the White Horse at Neatished, a nostalgic choice of liver and onions and I relished every morsel.
