Oh ok. 😊 Enjoy your trip.

If you are planning to overnight at Waveney River Centre you may wish to consider pre booking your mooring.

It's also jolly cold. Was snowing by the river in Brundall an hour ago.

There are rumours going around that the original plan was to merely require a safety strap, max 1m long, from the mud weight to the ankle of the "thrower". Many wives of private owners were supportive but hire yards were concerned that it could adversely affect the number of returning hirers the next season. Hence the total ban compromise.

Not wishing to cultivate such puns but it could be a harrowing experience.

Presumably those equipped with a plough anchor are exempt?

I think most electric winches (my Lewmar certainly does) allow it to free drop, i e you dont "winch out".

My understanding is the stay local requirement ceased yesterday. Anyway main purpose of trip is go visit elderly parents.

Day trip to Norfolk today to check on boat / outlaws / parents, all of whom live within 5 miles of each other and none of whom I've seen since October. Home tonight. 340 mile round trip. 😴

Does anyone use a Marine VHF (not PMR) for chat / communications (not Chanel 16)?

Bin collections are normally the responsibility of the borough / district council, rather than the County Council.

Alternatively: Extract credit card from wallet. Phone nice lady in tolls dept at BA. Verbally convey credit card details and boat reg. Wait for authorisation and confirming email. Job done. That's how it was for me last year 😉

As I understand this latest guidance is that "open air" boating is permitted but not in a "covered" boat..... So presumably I can take my boat out as long as I only use the flybridge, but I breach regulations if I go inside....

Wherry Housing Association took over Broadband District Councils social housing stock about 30 years ago. Not sure if they are still operating under that name as there have been mergers and name changed with some assns, subsequently. Hope that helps.

Extra fenders on order..... 😬

I'm sorry to hear that too. Both very nice people. Ray of course suffered from, I think, polio, for much of his life.

Thanks Wherry. She must be getting on now. I know Ray has passed away. We (family) moored in the private basin 50 years ago, approx 1970-74.

Are Bondons still operating in any manner? I thought they had sold out to Russell Marine some time ago.

That thought had crossed my mind too; or maybe another Brundall marina operator?

I guess that "Ranked" as a rather astute buyback 🤔 ?

It's when I catch sight of the pylons (originally WW2 RAF radar masts) at Stoke Holy Cross. For many years I lived within sight of them. My parents, and previously grandparents, live virtually in their shadow.

Anyone have an idea of its airdraft? Wondering how it got through Vauxhall.

I was actually referring to it's topography but I know what you mean...😲

A lot of the school site is pretty steep, from recollection...
