Sounds a good plan to me Helen
Be careful down the Bure near the bridges as you'll be running free and the tide will be fast
But your new engine will make short work of the tide even if it's a bit before the flood
For what it's worth (not much) that is exactly what I would do
Good luck!!!!
Mrs Nog asked the same the other day
Not a clue but it stops forward and backward movement and as the ropes are quite long they can flex up and down with the tide
How often do you see boats moored with about a foot of rope from the cleat to the nearest post?
Shop pert of the pub so probably closed too.
Real struggle mooring here but plus side being blown off bank is a comfortable mooring.
Mind you, after a few double gins Mrs Nog will be sleeping soundly particularly if I'm paying
Hope you get a good night's sleep though and look forward to your further adventures tomorrow
