Could you not just turn down the end of the broken staff (on a lathe) to fit in the sleeve, and keep it as a spare ?

Cheaper than a lathe and an excuse to sit in the sun supping ale.

I have a feeling there is a launderette still, opposite the Broads Tours/NBD yard in Wroxham although I have never used it. Certainly used to be one there, but unsure if it still exists even!!!

As you say it is still there MM with a couple of large machines for duvets. Would advise giving Monday`s a miss as it is always busy and Lesley will exchange notes for coins.

Actually, maybe I do know the cutlass bearing is in a different place than rudder bearings. Is the cutlass bearing something to do with play on the prop shaft?

 

 

It is yes whilst the rudder bearings are on the vertical round section of the rudder (as seen in the last of the photos).

[Springer’s Retreat On The Rivers]

It is a good time to check the rudder bearings whilst it is out of the water if that isn`t on the list.

Sad I know, but it’s got to be faced that the pub trade is dying out as we know it. 
just too expensive. 

The reports say an 51% increase on last year in pubs closing in 2024, that is around 80 a month. When I look back on all the good times we had in pubs ie playing pool, skittles or darts, on all the new friends we made not to mention all the parties after the pub shut or even the birthday pub crawls we had I fear for the younger generation of today.

Food. (Look away now Clive). 

I have many nice meals in the White Heron since it reopened but last Thursday I dropped in for a pint and something to eat after playing 7 a side football. Not wanting a big meal I ordered a  £11 or £12 cheeseburger and chips from the childrens menu and it was awful, the burger was over cooked to the point of it being cremated and tasteless. Had this been my first visit there I would of returned it but as said I have had many good meals there so I let it slide. However if I see a kid being screamed at for not eating their burger I might, just might quietly say something to the parents.

Good luck with it mate. It's amazing the humour that comes from a serious subject.

Paul @Swancraft did a retractable radar arch on a boat a couple of years ago. Used hydraulic rams and could be lowered by one finger. Piece of art it was.

What is the deal with mooring there to use the pub at the moment?

I understand the moorings by the pub are due to revert to long term moorings again but has anything changed yet?

Last I heard (2 weeks back) was, £10 to moor there and £20 overnight, not refunded against any meals and pub will now take the mooring fee`s.

Too late, I have paid the bill now 😁

No problem, just leave your card behind the bar for floydraser and myself there`s a good chap.

[Broom And The White Heron]

Is this a private party or can anyone join? 

[Led Lighting Change]

Found nice replacements for my old strip lights at an online caravan store.

[Broom And The White Heron]

Indeed it is true, I was there at lunchtime. Yep, I agree good news.

[Toilet Change]

ASAP amongst others stock refurb seal kits for a few toilets of this design. Finding someone to do the refurb for you is another matter.

Aqua Kem blue  is denser than water so adding a spash first before adding water can work and keep the room smelling clean.

[Car Talk]

Seem to recall Castrol GTX had Liquid Engineering in the adverts and on the label.

[Norfolk Lady Tales]

Savvy people in a postion where they are able to will leave holiday bookings until the last moment and save a lot of money.

Seem to think that this topic comes up every year.

[Newbie Here]

I guess a lot depends on how old the "kids" are,I would expect that there will be pamphlets on local attractions in the reception area.

Isnt there a meal deal on morring there overnight?

And it is dog friendly with dog biscuits in a jar on the bar,

[Pub For Wednesday Night]

You were mis-informed though they may serve you a cocktail along with a pint if you ask.

[Pub For Wednesday Night]

The White Heron has moorings right next to the pub, a seperate eating area for those not into the football and the noisy supporters will be in The Ram.

[Double Mooring Without Permission]

The OPs question was about someone double mooring on a private mooring rather than out on the rivers.

 

"Can someone moor alongside my private mooring without my permission? "

I`m not even sure that the OP`s boat is there at the time that someone else is using the mooring.
