Ref WaterseEdge, we (small son and I) called in by boat last Sunday 14th early afternoon, ample available moorings but car park full and most tables taken) and anyone who knows the road access it's hardly passing road trade, so clearly they have developed a good local land based clientele. It's not everyone's "cup of tea" but I quite like it. I also remember the old "Woods End" days when it was more "spit and sawdust". I think there is a market for this level given the propensity of private and expensive hire boats (Brooms and NYA) 30 or so minutes down stream.

Many moons ago I hired a Hampton (forward steer obviously) from Royalls for a week; it was great single handed.

Yes, I bought an extra 16A extension lead and a loose 32A plug. Replaced 16A plug with 32A one and now have a converter with an added benefit of an extension too! Just increasing options. Got it all from Screwfix

A couple of things regarding power / hookups: First I recall (but it's been 2 years) that the Ferry House at Surlingham had it's own proprietary system. Cards purchased at the bar In terms of how much cable - as much as possible but I know experts will caution about overloading - the longer the cable the greater the resistance ... it's also worth getting / making a 32A to 16A converter as you are likely to come across posts where both 16A sockets are taken but the larger 32A one is not. Enjoy the learning experience! Helian

Having overnighted at Burgh Castle Thursday night and "followed the tide" back to Brundall yesterday morning I would say that the Aweigh app was pretty close to "actual", and yes plenty of mud flats visible Thursday late afternoon at the confluence of the Yare and Waveney

Well I'm not; a while ago my wife said "we don't do Father's Day"! Must remember that on Mother's Day.....😳. Just off to paint a bathroom in a student house... 😁 Happy Father's Day to other father's.

Probably replacing the underground storage tanks

Exactly our feelings too

Currently on southern rivers, very quiet. Brundall to Cantley, can't have passed more than about 8-10 going the other way yesterday. Moorings were available yesterday late afternoon at Coldham Hall, Rockland staithe and here at Cantley.

So much for that.... A quick circuit of Bargate then moor up at Coldham Hall "for the night" atleast 800m away 🤔

When we visited Whitlingham on Easter Saturday the electric posts had definately gone.

Funnily enough only yesterday I was recalling that event and wondering what happened. Hope you soon get it sorted.

Gulp, I attended Langley Prep, and we had our wedding reception at the Oasis..... 😢

This was one of many methods of punishment at my school for getting a low (ish) mark in a physics test! Chemistry lab next door had a patch in the ceiling where, rumour had it, an experiment went wrong...

Well I hope they dont take the chainsaw to mine. It's a bit drastic!😳

I could be wrong but I believe genuine UK legal PMR446 radios are NOT programmable and antennas etc are fixed.

😁😳😉

Good news if true. But I suspect the real purpose would be the long term benefit of owning both sites together, both physically and financially (so-called marriage value).

Last time we visited Brooms at Brundall in mid September it was £18 for one tank, and I don't think that has changed in the last 4 years.

My airdraft is also circa 10'3". I've never got under Somerleyton and doubt you will. I can get under Reedham from about mid tide down but it ordinarially opens fairly frequently so tend to just wait for it to open. If you don't already have, it may be worth investing in a marine 2 way radio. Hand held ones are cheap, in the context of boating costs!

About 3 years ago I replaced the totally unreliable and erratic built in original on my flybridge with one I bought from A****n for about £65. More or less a straight swap and works brilliantly.

Surprised. They still take AMEX and my understanding is AMEX fees are much more than either Visa or MasterCard.

This is what I suspect, given its location, site footprint, etc.

We had over a 1000 at a "scaled back" village parade and service. Very moving as always.

Yes a SSD will make a huge difference, all I would question is, is it worth upgrading if you have such an elderly CPU. Perhaps better to buy a recon desktop with a later i5 or i7 CPU? These appear currently available more reasonably than recon laptops. You could then upgrade to a fast SSD if necessary. In essence I'm not sure I'd put money into a system that has such a elderly processor.
