    Welcome to the forum!

    We can go under Ludham, but only at low tide I think, and I'm sure we are 8ft6 or thereabouts. Am also v nervous about the gauges- I like a good bit of breathing space- chopping the top off is my recurring nightmare :default_baby:

    Perhaps give the yard a call beforehand re booking?

    On vinyl? What's that? :default_smiley-angelic002:

    :default_rofl:

    I need to share a quote from my little sister about 20 yrs ago when talking very sagely with her friend about a song in the charts at the time:

    "oh yes, my dad has the original of that on lino..."

    I kid you not.....

    I'm not sure if you speak English but I picked up "shoe" and "boat", so I am sure my Grace will translate for me later.

    If boats and shoes are causing a problem for transferring you from boat to solid ground what you need is someone to transfer either you, your shoes or both packages in one from aforementioned boat to solid ground.

    I volunteer to do this action for someone already mentioned :default_smiley-angelic002: but she may get awfully angry if I volunteered to help transfer you too.

    As an aside do you also like wine by any chance?

    :default_biggrin:

    Ah bless, I would expect nothing less than an honest offer of assistance from a member of our emergency services, but fear not - I am in no need of such help- He Who Thinks He’s Captain is always on the ‘safe footing’ case :17_heart_eyes:

    And yes, I must admit that I can be considered a wine ? fan, though the Ghostship  at Acle Bridge yesterday was  just the ticket :default_biggrin:

    Hi Katie

    If you want to wear heels when you're off the boat, wear flats to get from boat to pub, carry  heels in a bag, best not wear heels when walking in fields to said pubs, they could get stuck in the mud and you could fall over backwards feet still firmly in the ground (not that that's happened to me you understand) and so not a good look :default_norty: Once at the pub, take flats off, put your gorgeous heels on. Do not under any circumstances ask my Firefighter to carry you from boat to pub, that is for me and me alone thank you very much :default_biggrin:

    I am, of course, much obliged for your sage advice here. But flats? My sop to not sinking the heels is the wedge- bigger surface area on the floor whilst not sacrificing the height...I’m honestly not sure I can go much further...

    im also pushed for space in the bag- He Who Thinks He’s Captain and the kids always find ‘important things’ that I absolutely must carry about. Apparently  wallets, keys, snacks and spare jumpers are all my responsibility :default_crying1animated:

    i dd show lovely boat yard manager my more practical option- I’m convinced the walking away shaking head was him just regretting he’d not thought of them first :11_blush:

    Is this name this boozer Linda or to see who has the biggest collection of shoes Grace or you?

    If there’s a shoe-off, then I will need to confess that Imelda Marcos has nothing on me...genuine, full time, paid up, VIP member of Shoe Addiction Club. 

    I shall also have to admit to being roundly ‘advised’ by a very lovely boat yard manager that suede, wedge, platform sandals weren’t ideal for hoping on and off a boat. I agreed of course- I find wedge flip flops are much more practical :default_blush:

    That must be so hard for your friend, especially when wedding plans are in full swing. Fingers crossed that our absolutely brilliant docs and nurses do their thing now. It’s really good that your friend thought to call you and you we’re able to offer the support needed at such an emotional time- that’s what besties are for!  Always important when you are being a support that you look after you too- tired and wobbly supports are not as good, so the comfiest and a wee glass of something is defo in order! :409_wine_glass:

    I'm sure it's tough for John & Mary-Jane to let her go, but knowing just how much enjoyment she is bringing to her new responsible adults, and how much they are going treasure her will provide much comfort.

    Wishing all parties well for the coming months in your coming adventures, whatever they may be :12_slight_smile:

    I certainly will be making an effort to go check it out this week and see how it fares.

    Ooh do let us know how it is- I'll have to give it a go myself in a couple of weeks but a heads up would be good :default_beerchug:

    Today ....
    Two and a half hours Potter to Wroxham in our little day boat.
    Norfolk Marine, bag of chips, coffee.
    Two and a half hours back to Potter for tea.
    Awesome!
    Five hours boating for under a tenner in fuel. My Land Rover would drink that in about 15 minutes! The ski boat in about 5!!!

    Lovely day to be on the rivers too :default_biggrin:

    Thanks Griff, sounds like a really tricky arrival at Dover having to find the way through in those conditions- I would have been really panicking, I’m sure. I have no doubt I may also have found myself tangling with a rather large ferry knowing my luck...

    Very occasionally having plans A, B, And C isn’t enough, but having a crew who are confident, capable and able to adapt to changes quickly is clearly the best plan you could ever have! Obviously, that was no accident either....:default_rolleyes:
