I've also crossed in worse conditions, including just before the Beast from the East struck a few years back I would guess, looking at the video, that there was possibly a following wind, it can be fun going the other way into the wind and waves. I would also delay going South to North slightly as the undertow effect can involve struggling a little up the Bure.

Yes, Strowagers Shorebase is showing 13.07 today. They do state that all times are GMT so it's just a case of adding an hour. I've always used them and find them very reliable. As I'm mainly out in winter no adjustment needed but we will be afloat in May so I'll make a mental note to add an hour!!

Hi Malcolm, did you use the chippy just past the Waveney and old Spar shop on the right hand side? Can't remember the name of it, was it the Mermaid at one time?

Will you be visiting the Maltsters? Not heard anything about it since it reopened. Wondering if there's any beer on?

...that photo looks to be from the wooden boat show at Beccles. I wonder if someone could alert a certain individual who frequents OBYS who may have some knowledge...

According to Craig's database it is one of Sandersons 'Lady' class, a small woodie very much in the style of the early Herbert Woods cruisers. I have a very vague recollection of seeing one advertised for sale but it was many years ago. Sorry I can't be more helpful. And welcome from me too.

Couldn't agree more

Two duvets does the trick, works for us even in the coldest weather. Plus Mrs Nog's feet Thanks for taking us with you on your trip Simon

Ditto We were in a while ago and the landlord was brilliant, far from trying to boot us out early he positively encouraged us to stay, not quite that late but late enough. Green Jack beers were often on too

As Easter is fast approaching we will hopefully see some activity soon. Any updates much appreciated as always

I can see Jean's point of view here. Certainly in my experience of visiting pubs, owners are mostly very responsible and keep their pets under control. Although we don't have a dog ourselves we do like dogs and Mrs N usually has dog biscuits in her bag. Many pubs have a sign to say dogs must be kept on a lead and/or well behaved dogs are welcome. It's maybe a bit like boaters and fishermen, a bit of mutual respect goes a long way!
