Hardley Mill is probably our favourite mooring.

I have a Bayliner with a petrol 350MPI Mercruiser. When we bought her Brooms were still selling unleaded. Yes the Jerry cans are a pain but the purchase price differential with a very similar spec boat was over £30,000, proportionately a massive step up. You can buy a lot of (more expensive) unleaded for that. Also consider how much will you really use it. Does it justify the extra capital cost?

In so many planning applications these days parking is a major factor. If rejected I imagine a resubmission will talk about "sustainable transport" and offer some bicycle racks....

We stopped there for lunch 5 weeks ago. A good alternative to Berny. Would happily moor there overnight, but use spring lines. Tide flows fast there as one of R########s finest discovered when they managed to hit us despite about 100m vacant quay heading to aim for in front of us, but misjudged tidal flow ...

I suspect Bargate (Surlingham) is heading in the same direction. Last couple of times, even at higher tides, we did not stop, and our wake looked like a freshly mown lawn... Depth sounder wasn't too happy either!

Good, but what on earth were they doing signing you up, taking your money and handing you the keys without inspecting first?

Brundall Navy equipped with torpedos too...

One of our favourites too.

And so much more peaceful since it is no longer immediately adjacent to the main A47 trunk road to Gt Yamouth

On the Yare this week we got a good strong signal at Hardley Mill but it depends on many things including weather, surrounding vegetation, aerial and ground plane, receiver, etc.

I was rather surprised to see two red flags flying at Somerleyton yesterday by 10:30 am. Seemed a bit presumptive

Marine Power at Brundall Gardens cares for my Mercruiser 350MPI / BRAVO 3 combination

Finally open.....

Still not opening. 2 red flags and what appears to be a number of large craft waiting to pass.

Had an absolutely excellent meal there last night and thoroughly recommended. Pleased to hear that they had had a busy weekend. Still moored outside but I'm told they are sadly not doing breakfast. Gorgeous day

Yes I'm very interested in the technical aspect. The legal / warranty / financial aspect is perhaps best avoided in public discussion.

If I recall correctly there is a small play area "the other side of the hedge" at Rockland staithe, opposite the New Inn.

I may have mentioned elsewhere but my plumber says electric boilers are three times the cost to run, like for like, as gas boilers.

We have a proper (110v) marine cooker, NOT a domestic 240v one! 😬 It works with 240v 16a shore power via transformer and our 4kva 110v Koler gen. For the record kettle is also dual voltage 😊. No supply tripping.

Generator or mains. Batteries will not support kettle. Obviously we would not start generator late at night.

We are "all electric" and have 2 new 110A leisure batteries but you can't use them to cook from. We also have a factory installed (built in in the engine bay) generator for when we need to cook, but a mains plug in is not available. It's much quieter than the main engine and we try to finish by 8pm but not always possible.

Rather like when they ceased supplying unleaded quayside.... Yes there needs to be places where we can buy fuel, pump out, water, provisions etc. Truth is its not really viable and the land is probably worth more for development.

"Doing" and "permitted" are not necessarily the same thing ... Anyway maybe things have changed, my recollection was going back 45-50 years ago when my family used to keep our boat in Ray Bondon's basin. Interesting about it becoming non tidal there, I didn't know.

Years ago it used to be that you can cruise around the inner broad, but not stop / moor / anchor / fish as it was, and presumably still is, private. Maybe these rules were abused / ignored?

Likewise, pretty much "in the same boat", pardon the pun.
