Hi Monica, We found the same issues in Sheffield before we came to the Broads, no Roses lime juice or an alternative in any of the supermarkets, the same was case when we shopped in Beccles and Brundall, soda water was also an issue. If you have not tried it Morrisons do a crushed lime & mint cordial which I have taken to, very refreshing with soda. Regards Alan

Sadly there are a lot of bad drivers, far too many without any patience and a lack of common courtesy, on the bright side at least they are building some new roads in Norfolk. Regards Alan

Gabions are used in many constructions and are ideal on dry land if constructed in stainless steel, the use of them being used as a bank retention in a waterway was a huge error in judgement, ideally both on behalf of the railways and the waterway the retention should have been built with stone or heavy duty piling. Regards Alan

My main issue with the moorings at Whitlingham is that there is space for more mooring but there are notices saying that there is no mooring. We have only been able to moor there once in the ten years plus that we have been on the Southern Rivers unless you count it as twice when we once tried to moor on the extension pontoon with the notice fixed on the top of the pontoon. From a layman's point of view those rusty pods need a face-lift. Regards Alan

Hello Paul, I have seen these units available for around £350 as an exchange unit and they come with a 12 months warranty. Just do a google search. We have used service kits with all the seals in the past for around £50.00 but that is only any good for a relatively working unit. Regards Alan

Hello Hrimfaxi, Welcome to the NBN Forum Regards Alan

Monday 30th July. Today is a day for cleaning the boat and trying to get some of our stuff back into the car; more of that later. We had breakfast and looked at a couple of crosswords before I headed into the bilges, I wanted to remove the raw water filter and wash it out. I shut off the water intake valve and removed the four bolts that hold the sight glass (it is plastic) in place, as always because it is mounted on a slight angle a little water spills into the bilges. All the daily checks done I started getting ready to wash the outside of the boat, this was of course the time that it started raining, so it was into the canopy out of the rain for a short while, not wanting to be idle I cut a strip of plastic (I had purchased from Jeckell’s) to make a new doorway tie, the door section and rear section of the canopy can be rolled up tied back on themselves with the use of these strips. A lull in the rain I started cleaning the boat on the port side removing any marks that I found. Hosed off, Tan & I moved the boat over to Southern Crusader’s berth (they had gone out yesterday) to clean the starboard side. I washed and hosed it down and Tan followed me with a microfiber cloth and when dry polished the windows. We mover the boat back onto our pontoon and polished the port windows. In the cleaning process we also washed all the fender socks so the boat was now looking **** & span. We had lunch during our rest in cleaning, using up more food we had the last of the bacon and eggs, the bacon & egg sandwich went down a treat. I put some items in the car and tided up the boot to get more in it. We had worked up so a drink of tea we settled down for a few games of Rummikub, Tan managed to win a few games back. We got bags ready to take to the showers and then went into the Yare for our last meal in there on this trip, the food was as good as ever and a couple of beers later we left to go back to the boat. I ended up only winning 5 games over Tan’s score during our visit to the Broads. We watched a DVD, had a coffee and were in bed a little after 11.00pm

Hi Polly, The alternative is a large canopy Regards Alan

Hello Minifer, Are you looking for a survey before you purchase or are you looking for someone to do a BSS inspection? Regards Alan

When go on narrow boat holidays we normally remove the microwave and save on the wasted space, it is an ideal space for storing the cereal boxes in the galley. I think that most of the boatyards suggest that you run your engine whilst operating the microwave. The fridge, and bow thruster take their toll on the battery banks, more so a bow thruster that will draw 300 to 400 amps dependent on its size All this power has to be produced by the alternators to charge those battery banks, the more electrical items used the more the draw on the power. On narrow-boats they recommend 5 hours of cruising, it would be interesting to know how many hours of cruising is recommended by the Broads operators. Regards Alan

Sunday 29th July. On awakening I dressed and went and sat on the upper helm seating to catch up my blog but also to watch what was happening in the slow drizzle that was coming down. Eventually everyone was up, only washes this morning, because could not get into the staithe yesterday because it was the fullest I have seen it. We chattered away during our breakfasts and were watching the weather to see if there was a lull, sadly not we rolled up the canopy door sections and took out the front screen and set off from the mooring at 10.00 am behind another boat going back down the Chet. Tan was happy to relinquish the helm, she did not fancy going down the Chet with the canopy up. We had the back sections in to fend off some of the drizzle. I was getting slightly wet so Yak put a coat over my knees, is this how it going to be in my dotage! When we go back onto the Yare we rolled own the door sections and headed back to the marina. Moored back up in our home moorings we had lunch before Lynda & Yak had to head off home. We heard from them later they had had a better journey than on the way to Brundall and knocked about an hour off their journey time. Tan & I did a little bit of cleaning in the forward section they had used and vac packed the sheet of shaped foam we use as a topper on the forward berth. We played a few games much to Tan’s regret, I was at least 5 games up on our holiday. I loaded the oven with sausage, bacon to use up our supplies so we would have less to take home. We ate and finished a crossword before we watched a DVD, there was hardly any activity in the marina, and my guess was that a number of boat owners had come down on the Friday night for the weekend, but had now gone home. Coffee and bed a little after 11.00 pm. Regards Alan & Tan

Maybe we should all start pushing the hair on our beards back up It would certainly cut down on the beard trims. Regards Alan

Saturday 28th July. I awoke and went up onto the upper helm with my laptop and wrote a little more of my blog while everyone were still asleep , it was drizzling a little, the heavy downpour never really got started last night and it was still humid. There was stirring down below and I could hear the forward shower pump activating. I had finished on the computer so I went below and started getting the table ready for breakfast. Everyone was now up and ready for a drink and food, we chattered away and dished out the tablets (one of the deep joys of getting older). Breakfast over and the washing done we watched the boat in front of us leave, heading towards Brundall. There were a number of one, two and four man rowing teams on the river this morning. We waited a while before rolling up the canopy doors and taking out the front screen panel for the drizzling to stop. I took us from the mooring and we headed down river, the sun eventually came out but it was quite windy. Just before and after the Beauchamp Arms I kept well to port to avoid the fishing match that looked to be on, it was just after the pub that a very large boat passed us on the starboard side in front of all of the fisherman, he got quicker once into the 6 MPH section of the river. Tan took over the helm we passed the sugar factory and continued past Hardley Mill so Linda & Yak were now seeing pastures new. I took over again as we reached the River Chet, it was too windy for Tan to take us into the river entrance, needless to say there was a lower boat that I could see on the second bend, we passed safely and progressed up the river, Tan took over after we reached the more sheltered part of the river near to the tree line, whilst I went below to prepare lunch. I came back up top before we reached Maffett’s (I noted Titan was back out) and checked out the staithe, it looked as if there was a space, but sadly a small boat was moored next to the end unseen, after turning round we headed back to the space we had seen on the common. We got in with the aid of the owner aboard Painted Lady who took a rope. Secured we took down the canopy and I finished off the omelettes for lunch. We sat in the sunshine eating our meal on the upper deck watching the Pacific boats going out and coming back from their training. After lunch Linda, Yak and myself went for a walk to the village, we must have taken the wrong path because after the first bridge and style the path we were on took us over a cowpat field and the path then ended by a ditch that someone had put a few pallets and timber in the bottom up the other side on a nettle lined path we ended up at the back of a boat yard. The road from there ended up at the side of the Kings Head, we called into the Swan to book a table for this evening , sadly they were fully booked, we called into the Co-op and bought a few items and a couple of pizzas instead, to be honest we could not have made the journey across the fields in the dark. Back on-board we told Tan of our adventures and whiled away the afternoon until we felt hungry. We put the canopy fully before it went dark and again looked for sighting of the moon, it came up behind the trees on the common so could not be fully seen. We went to bed to the sound of drizzling on the canopy. Regards Alan & Tan

Hello Gary, Welcome to the NBN forum, we were moored next to you last week at Loddon. Regards Alan & Tan

I think it hit the ferry rather than the chains. Regards Alan

Thursday 26th July. Yet another sunny morning the rays streaming through the curtains, it was time to get up. We had had breakfast, gone over to the shop across the road for Tan to top up her phone and get a couple of items. The chap there was telling us that he had been the Sandringham show and some people were complaining that the dog show had been cancelled, there are far too many people out there that have major problems with any train of thought. We left the moorings a little before 9.00 am and saw that Titan was back in Maffett’s moorings so the salvage operation must have been completed. By 10.00 we were back on the Yare after passing about six boats coming towards us on the Chet. We had decided that we would not stop in the Marina this morning and go directly to the Ferry House Inn at Suringham for the day and night. A very hot morning developed into an even hotter day, you could smell the sweet ness of the Buddleia on the river banks as we passed. Tan enjoyed helming the boat through Brundall, I of course are limited to getting past yachts and in charge of parking! I stern moored between two boats at the upper end of the moorings, one of the boat crews took a line for us. Once moored up I went into the pub and booked a table for the evening and paid for the mooring, Sonya was sat by the doorway and looked to be planning the onslaught of the lunchtime invasion. There were a number of reserved boards on the lower moorings, it looked as if it was going to be a busy day for them. I had already put some sausages in the oven on the journey from Loddon so by the time we had arrived all I had to do was poach some eggs to go with our sausage sandwiches. We watch the world go by, well mostly boats and cars arriving in the car park, most of the outside tables were filling up with people under the parasols, I had rigged up our parasol into the Ensign socket again to keep Tan from melting, Needless to say I chattered to the prople on the boats ner to us which were both on the Broom Skippers, both agreed they were impressed with the layout and the facilities on board. Tan and I had visited the Broom open day a couple of years ago and had been on a trip on some of their hire boats after a tour of the factory. We thought at the time that they were a good option for hirers who wanted a up market two or four berth boat. We of course had to keep popping over to the pub for the odd beer and fruity cider to keep us slightly cooler, it was an hard job but had to be done. All the tables outside were full by the time we went into the pub for our early evening meal, we went to our table and then back to the queue to order our drinks and meal., I had the Gammon and Tan had the Ham & Eggs, both of these were perfect. We went outside and managed to find a tableso hopefully the queue would die down so I could pay our tab, we sat for a long while and finished our drinks, I had popped back into the pub a few times but the queue was always about ten deep. I bit the bullet and joined the queue. Tad paid we headed off the boat our immediate neighbours had taken their meals back to the boat to sit in the shade. We played a few games and watched Overboard, we can almost recite the dialogue on this film, but it is always worth a viewing. We kept turning the volume down on the TV as it was getting late by the time it had finished. Coffee and in bed at 11.30 pm Regards Alan & Tan Friday 27th July. We had to leave the Ferry House Inn after breakfast and head back to the marina to wait for our friend’s arrival, needless to say on a day when we wanted to be up fairly early it was 7.30 when I awoke. Breakfast over, we got ready to leave; a few of the other boats had already left the moorings, it was another sunny morning so I enjoyed my short time at the helm whilst Tan tidied up the galley. We arrived back in the marina a little after 9.00 am and moored at our home mooring. We cleaned the boat and got out the spare bedding to air, the next item on the agenda was to go for showers and then to the Co-op for some fresh milk and bread etc. We had an update of Linda & Yak’s estimated arrival it would be around 1.00 pm. So with time to spare we had a game of Rummikub, I was now again in the lead, much to Tan’s disapproval. Our guests had arrived but were waving at us from the far bank, they had turned right after going through the barrier. Now parked up so said our welcomes and had a lunch before setting off down river. We went down as far as Hardley Mill, Yak and Linda both had a stint at the helm under instruction. After turning at the mill we headed towards Bramerton and the Waters Edge, I had reserved the mooring from 5.00 pm and a table for 7.30 pm. It k=looked as if there would not be space for us but on seeing the owner he moved a boat slightly to let us in. we said our hellos with an handshake had a short conversation before watching the speedboat and skiers going upriver. We converted the forward seating into a double berth after adding the additional foam we use to make it more comfortable, bedding fitted we got ready to go over to the pub. We went into the pub just before 7.30 pm and were shown too our table, the meal was good but there was a delay on Tan’s burger, apologies later we enjoyed our food. There was a lot of people at the tables both on the decking by the river and to the side of the pub. It was still very hot as we headed back to the boat. As the dark clouds we put up the canopy sides and waited for the lightening, there was a lot of sheet lightening but not a lot of rain, some people were still under the parasols on the decking. Because of the storm we would not see the Red Moon this evening. We chattered below deck and after tea & coffees we retired to bed at 11.30 pm. Regards Alan & Tan

Wednesday 25th July. I awoke at 5.30 am the traffic noise had already started, I wrote yesterday’s blog before confirming that low water would be about 6.45 am for the Trowse Bridge. I took a couple of pictures of the yacht station moorings and took out the canopy sides that we had left up on the bank side. Tan stirred after I had been up top getting ready to leave, she helped me take down the canopy top, shore power disconnected and mud weight up we slipped slowly down river after turning around at 6.45 am. By the time we arrived at Trowse Bridge we had about a foot of clearance at the bridge. We moored at Whitingham for breakfast before continuing our journey to Brundall. The sun was out and it was becoming another glorious day, we got back to the marina a little after 9.00 am. I checked my emails and went up to the village for some provisions, I stopped off at Brian Wards for a couple of large blue fenders (they were cheap £15.00 each) to use as dock fenders, Robin would have been proud. Back at the boat I strung the fenders on the finger pontoon from large eyelets and line, the job done and tools packed away we had a lunch before setting off to Loddon. Tan took the helm out of the marina, a few boats came towards us but we did not encounter another boat travelling in our direction, we were both surprised that the rivers have been a lot quieter than we expected. The sugar factory kept appearing and disappearing as we went from bend to bend. The moorings at Hardley Mill were full with three boats. I took over the helm as we approached the entrance to the River Chet, we had only gone around a few of the reed lined bends before we came across the boat that had sunk, John from Maffett’s was there with Titan and another recovery boat, they waved us on , the boat was now afloat but they were still working on it. The Chedgrave Common moorings were almost full, it did not look too promising for the staithe moorings, and we were surprised that there were a few spaces available. I moored at the side of a rather nice F37; the owner took a line for us. Moored up it seemed the right thing to do to chat away about boats and how we had got into boating. Another chap on Herbert Wood boat was off to the shower and we chattered on his way back to boat, today was his 50th birthday and his daughter had just given birth in Norwich hospital, he was getting ready for a taxi to take him from the staithe at 7.00 pm. Tan went to the shower whilst I opened a bottle of Malbec (a smooth red) the tokens used for the shower are the same ones used at the Beccles Yacht Station, the shower here is a lot better use of the token (until the Beccles facilities are refurbished Tan refuses to use them, I would assume that most ladies feel likewise). Tan arrived back to the boat and said a glass of wine would be good before seeing the opened bottle. I had to wait a while before I went to the showing but now back on the boat clean and ready for a meal we walked up to the Swan. It was a tasty meal but my fish could have been an adults portion. Back on the boat Tan was vanquished by winning two Rummikub games on the trot and leaving the states up to now as a draw. We watched a DVD (Stardust) we have seen a few times before but we like. Coffee and bed about 11.00 pm. Regards Alan & Tan

Hi Griff, I bought one of those a few years ago and they work very well. Regards Alan

Monday 23rd July. We awoke to a beautiful sunny day at Bramerton Green. This morning we took down the top of the canopy and had breakfast on the upper helm deck after bringing the occasional table up top. The swans and ducks thought they were going to get a feed. Breakfast and crosswords completed I removed the cable from the electric post, we had to wait a while to slip the mooring two boats in each direction appeared once I had taken off the ropes but we were hardly moving. The boats passed us and we slowly set off from almost the end of the moorings, I did not use the bow thruster because it was still early, sadly there was a hidden fisherman in the foliage just past the moorings and because we did not want to make any sudden movement to starboard we passed very close to him the words of thank you very much were heard and we said sadly we had not seen him, it upset Tan. We slowly followed the boats that had passed us and preceded to Brundal, there were loads of geese on the river this morning. We arrived at the Marina, the water was like mill pond this morning so we had an easy stern moor onto our pontoon. Tan got the bags ready for us to take with us to the shower block whilst I removed the canopy top, I had noticed that some of the stitching on fastening onto the frame the only Velcro one on the top rails (the rest are zips) was coming unstitched (this was more than I would have liked to stitch by hand). I folded it up and put it in the boot. We went for our showers and had to wait at the level crossing; we passed Brian Ward’s again without calling in, it is starting to worry me, there must be something we need. We arrived at Wroxham just after 10.00 am and went straight to Jeckells, I said I was sorry to call in yet again but could they please do some more stitching for me, one of the guys came out of the back and I showed him the problem, we were going to do some shopping, he said it would be ready in an hour. Off to Roy’s; I wanted to replace the smaller frying pan and Tan wanted to look for cutoffs, I had a look around the men’s department, there was nothing I needed so kept my hands firmly in my pockets. We went across the road to get some more provisions, some fresh bread for lunch, more Black Bomber, bacon & sausages. Shopping done we left Roy’s and went back to Jeckells to pick up the canopy, it was ready for us, so I paid (I am getting too old to do a runner) and thanks them for their excellent service. Back on the boat I caught up with emails and the forum, Tan was chomping on the bit for lunch, afterwards we set off for Rockland St, Mary, there was just enough space for me to fit between a couple of moored boats, one of the boats “Cristina” took a rope and walked me in. We spent the afternoon chatting to the other boat owners or taking in the sun, it was too hot for Tan until I rigger up the parasol after taking out Ensign out of its tube, Tan kept in the shade whilst I sat in the sun, there was movement of a few boats into and out of the moorings, one boat came in turned and went back out even though there were spaces on the other side (we were moored at the end). At 7.00 pm we on the long journey over the road to the New Inn, I had already popped over the road to book us a table for 7.00 pm, we sat in the bar watching the ladies darts team practice for their game tonight, we chatted to the landlady, she has been in the pub for four years, we were in the pub when they first arrived. Replenished we headed back to the boat and opened all the hatches we had closed. After a few games we watched a DVD and retired to bed a little after 11.30 pm, not even time for coffee. Regards Alan & Tan Tuesday 24th July. We had had a good night at Rockland St. Mary and I took a few pictures of the staithe before breakfast. Tan did the pots whilst I got us to the river in time for Tan to take over for the short journey back to Brundall. We could see that Southern Crusader had been opened up and talking to the owners they could not get down to the boat during the weekend. I decided that I would fit a light onto the upper helm to aid arriving back to the boat after dusk, fitted and tested and the various panels replaced I went to the shower block, Tan had already walked up there earlier. I arrived back at the boat one of the owners had already arrived for the short meeting we were having regarding boat policy. Meeting over and after a light lunch we slipped the moorings and headed towards Norwich, we were not too sure where we would moor up tonight so we were decide later. There was space at Bramerton , Commissioners Cut and at Whitlingham for a change. I decided we would check out the clearance at the railway bridge; a bridge marker down the river from the bridge would have been better but we managed to pass under it with 6 inches to spare. By the time we had got under the bridge we were now leading a convey; into Norwich, there has been a lot of development on the riverside. Tan smelt a familiar smell of cooking; of course it was the smell of mint sauce. The last time we had ventured into Norwich I was dismayed that moorings that used to be used in front of the old warehouses was deemed as a no mooring area, this still appeared to be the case with no mooring signs clearly posted everywhere, this did not prevent the odd few boats that were moored there. We proceeded to the yacht station and moored further up the mooring to take advantage of one of the electric posts, staff at the yacht station were using bike to collect mooring fees, I wandered down the mooring a met one of the chaps to pay our dues, we had a chat, this is the first time we will have stopped overnight here. Ropes through the rings and tied off on the boat and the mud weight put down, we walked down towards Foundry Bridge and went into the pub with the terrace overlooking the river, after a beer we started to get peckish so we had a meal, Tan had scampi and I had the fish. We sat there for a short while waiting for our food and got chatting to a Scott who was working on one of the oil rigs off the coast, a nice guy, we got talking about the Scottish Canals and the Caledonian Canal but left him to his meal when it arrived. Back at the boat we opened all of the windows and had a few games of Rummikub (still two games up on the week so far, but Tan is holding her own) before watching a DVD. Bed at 10.30 pm, still the noise of traffic and people walking up the road. Regards Alan & Tan

Sunday 22nd July. It was turned 7.00 am when I awoke; I left Tan in bed whilst I checked my messages and performed my forum duties and yesterday’s blog. I prepared the cereal and fruit this morning, today will be hopefully a day of relaxing, it is currently overcast but the pundits are tipping around 31 degrees later today. Breakfast over we took down the canopy top and tidied up the boat, pots done and warps unfastened we slowly proceeded to the marina entrance. I had to hold the boat awaiting many small yachts that always seem to race on Sunday morning, sadly there was not even one nod of acknowledgement of my holding station for the 18 or so boats all on the wrong side of their marker buoys. Tan let me helm all the way to Bramerton Common, we managed to get into one of the spaced available almost opposite one of the electric posts much to our surprise, we had been told that there was double mooring here last week by one of the owners off of Southern Crusader. We arrived at 11.30 am and loads of people were already on the green, families picnicking, playing games or walking their dogs on this popular area. It was with dismay to see that a couple of black bags had been left by the dog waste bin; one of the bags had its contents scattered by animals. Sadly this is one of the effects by removing services that should be provided in all tourist areas. We intended to stay overnight so we had a light lunch and settled in and played a few games of Rummikub. I had called an enquiry that had left a message on our website regarding was the syndicate still running and were there any shares available. It turned out that the enquirer was from Brundall, we talked for a while and we arranged that they would visit Ranworth Breeze whilst we were moored at Bramerton. Visit over after showing them around the boat and talking more about the syndicate over the wine they had brought with them as a present, they left to think over the proposal. Tan now after a couple of glasses of wine was beating me hands down on the game we had started and had overtaken me on the weekly tally of the games won. We stayed in the lounge with all the windows and hatches open to get a through breeze, it was too hot for Tan, I could have sat on the upper deck watching all the boats go by all afternoon, but kept Tan company now she was on a roll of getting her own back. I let the all-day breakfast cook in the oven whilst we played and cooked the eggs, tomatoes and beans when the rest was ready. Tan loves my cooking but always says that I use too many pots in my preparation, in this case 3 trays, two pans and a small frying pan. I do the cooking Tan does the pots that fare. At 7.00 pm I put up the TV aerial and tuned in the TV, Tan was not impressed that I could not tune in the BBC channels for Poldark, we will have to use catch up at home. This was the first time we have watched the TV rather than a DVD, I have to say we have not missed it. Coffee and bed at 11.20 pm.

Saturday 21st July. Awoke just before 7.00am, came on the forum and checked my emails, the sun up with hardly a cloud to be seen. Tan got up and started on the Breakfast, canopy doors rolled up and door into the boat fully open to get a though draft into the boat. Breakfast over Tan and I decided to do the PAT testing on the boat so I could put the pat tester back into the car, I did the testing while Tan wrote out the sheets which I later signed. I moved other tems into the car while Tan did some tiding up. A little after 11.00 am Richard, Karen & Wendy arrived at the boat, we showed them around the boat after some refreshments and talked about Ranworth Breeze, boat-shares in general and what their thoughts were regarding boating. After showing them around the boat and describing where everything was, what it did and how it was stored we lowered the canopy and set off out of the marina towards Norwich. Out of the marina I handed the helm over to Richard for him to get a feel of the boat, its handling, stopping in its own length and its tight turning circle. We proceeded up to the Ferry House Inn at Surlingham where we mooring for lunch. Sonya was in control of the busy bar, most of the tables were full in the pub but we managed to get a table outside and had a light lunch. After lunch we headed back to the marina with Richard at the helm out of the moorings, I showed him the procedure of port side mooring at the Brooms fuel station, both of our put out outlets are on the port side. We went into the marina and moored at our berth. We chattered for a while but eventually said our farewells; they had a four to five hour journey back home. I contacted Andrew and Paula (Andrew is one of our more local owners and is a member of our management committee) earlier in the day and we arranged to meet them for an evening meal at the Yare. After a pleasant meal and good conversation, we left the pub and decided to look around the NYA boats for sale, it seemed a shame not to, and Andrew wanted to look at the Ventura boat that had just come onto the NYA books, there was talk of if the numbers came up on lottery. Dreaming done and reservations of some of the features on some of the other boats for sale we said our goodbyes and Tan & I headed back to the boat. We put just the canopy top up but left out the sides for the night. Tan got her own back with a couple of games of Rummikub, I am only one game up so far on the week , we finished the DVD we were watching the night before and after coffee we headed for bed. Regards Alan & Tan
