  1. Can someone settle an argument I'm having with myself? I think the Pilot Service was introduced in the 69s after a boat got stuck under the bridge for quite some time and was initiated by the hire boat companies for anything over a reo berth hire boat. Am I right?
  2. Brilliant. Thanks Regulo. I was keen to find out because my father who sailed between the wars told me he and crew went there for an evening and as was the way back then the pianist in the crew tried the piano but the lid was locked. He asked for the key but the landlord explained that behind the piano laid out on a table and covered in a sheet was some poor soul pulled from.the river that day awaiting the undertaker in the morning. They hadn't closed the pub but thought it respectful to lock the piano
  3. Was that the pub with the garden landscaped with a map of the Broads?
  4. As a newcomer to this site I really enjoyed this thread as back in the 70s I bought Broad Wave 2 from the Clifford Allen yard at Coltishall-my first venture into boat ownership- and kept her for five years at Turner's Yard at Horning. The boat was in fact in the auction at Coltishall (I remember the cold weather and the Turkey Curry at the Anchor pub!) but I had put a deposit down with the auctioneers so knew she was mine. A few years back I saw a refurbished Broad Wave (1?) for sale at a big price but she looked magnificent. I suspect Broad Wave 2 has gone to that Great Boatyard in the Sky but so much fun. Great memories.
  5. hI, I'm new to the site with many fond memories of the Broads. i'm trying to remember the name/site of a pub from way back. I remember it had a garden landscaped with a map of the Broads. It was a long time ago and quite possibly the pub no longer exists-any ideas? i
