I think they’re BST as I was using it at the end of March when the clocks changed and I remember making a point of seeing whether they moved forward by an appropriate amount between the Saturday and the Sunday.
Unless I’m imagining it, they did.
Also, I’m hoping to go through Yarmouth today and low is about 14.15 according to aweigh, but 13.07 according to the tide table on the one from broads.org (?) that I’ve printed off - the one that used to use BST but has reverted to GMT all year.
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!!

The fish and chips were good and compared to others, the price wasn’t too bad either
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.

I certainly noticed the cold, especially at night
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

we too would be very interested if it’s still open or due to reopen
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

It should be open for Easter
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!

I hope he keeps The Maltsters dog friendly as the Granary isn’t
Griff
I hope so too. Pubs that don't allow dogs are missing a trick I think. I've never been in the Granary, just wonder if it's very small inside which might make it less suitable for dogs. Having said that the majority of micro pubs which I visit are almost always dog friendly.
Hope he has some beer on too.
Oh, and the old chestnut that they serve food is not a valid excuse. Of course operators are free to make their own rules.

We had a very good lunch in the Swan , but no real ale due to a failed delivery 😢, had to make do with Guinness , since moved on and now moored up at Neateshead staithe , guess I will have to sample The White Horse later to make up for lunchtimes deprivation
Good move
if there's no beer on I'd have gone for Guinness, I'm sure the White Horse will have made up for it though

It only ever goes just right when no one is looking. Guaranteed!
No truer word spoken!!!
Try doing it with Dave (Janet Ann) watching

I agree, Neatishead is probably 40 foot (ish) wide. So turning on the ropes is only feasible when there is space at the other side. If you're careful it can be done with a relativly small gap. However the only other option is either to reverse in or reverse out. I chickened out and reversed out in the morning when no one was watching
Of course it went perfectly.........

We encountered a very considerate fisherman at Neatishead in February. We always approach slowly, he asked if we wanted the Staithe, Mrs Nog indicated we did. He moved his rod for us, we pulled in, moved down and gently turned the boat on the ropes before mooring. I have also reversed out before now. But it's possible that if a boater doesn't want to turn the boat or reverse out they will moor at the top. As Griff says, a bit of condsideration can work both ways. Incidentally we often turn the boat on the ropes but it's suprising the number of folk who don't seem to understand what we are doing.

We were out a couple of weeks ago and were certainly struck by the apparent intensity of fishing - just wonder if they are trying to cram as much in before 15th?

Springer’s Retreat On The Rivers

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.
