My birthday 🎁 and it is a strange feeling that Warp, who grew up in this house has to sit outside for a birthday visit. Madness. However we shall indeed have a nice outdoor afternoon tea, take away from our favourite coffee shop. 🎂

A belated happy birthday Pauline, from Nik and Steve.

Liz,, thoughts and prayers.

A busy Ranworth today, only 6 boats moored but no room at the inn.

[SwanR]

And I do believe that Cerise Lady was spotted on the Ant on this video at around 4 minutes.

As was Dakota at about 6min 50 secs ☺

[SwanR]

Oh ... that was right before the people struggling to get their mast up! 

I wonder if any other members were caught on this video taken at Ludham Bridge today.

[Ray]

Yes the light wasn't so good on our pass which is a shame as it was our first outing with shiny newly varnished topsides!

As you say though, maybe more members were out today!

[Ray]

Also, the shame of seeing my fenders dragging in water! First job next visit!!!

I remember the shame of our mud weight not fully out of the water when we had our Falcon on the way back from Salhouse.... so embarrassing 

[Ray]

We've all been there I'm afraid lol I still cringe at some of my more spectacular moorings and there's always an audience when something goes wrong 😁

And rarely an audience when you do the perfect mooring ! 

[Ray]

That's the truth alright lol

Ali almost managed a stunning mooring the other day. Inch perfect on the approach just millimeters from the quayhead and forgot to stop the boat... Yup, almost sailed right past!

Yes indeed , have just posted today’s trip 

[CambridgeCabby]

Just noticed it also captured my mooring at 01:47 glad I didn’t cock it up 

[BroadAmbition]

Went clay shooting Wednesday early evening, this is a once monthly fixture that is now back on the diary,  sadly no pub dinner afterwards.  Yesterday having completed tiling a clients kitchen / dining room floor, roared off to Donny on Tiger for fish food, got home then back to clients and completed the grouting.  Day off today so its clay shooting for the whole forenoon .  Then its round to daughters to refit a radiator and install an new w/c. Then prep materials / gear for Mondays client.   After that I just might get some time to sort out the light upgrades to the Tiger

 This week did all the hedges and lawns so I was going to have a beach walk todat but have woken to a right North Sea Haar.

[Vaughan]

I'll tell you what!

Any collisions, bumps and bangs or general wonky boat handling - we can't blame it on the "bloody hirers" any more, can we?

[ChrisB]

This Weeks Labours:-

The problem is, when I moved here 13 years ago I could knock the place into shape in a couple of days. Now it takes a week! There were also two of us working as a team, that makes a big difference, believe me.  I had a gardener lined up for this year but like so many other plans corvid kicked that into touch.

I enjoy walking behind the mower and anyway I could always buy a sit on if it gets too heavy but those hawthorn hedges are a killer as you have to wear thornproofs to do the job and it gets bl**dy hot!

It was an intentional touch and go mooring..

Sewing again!   
NHS scrub bags done earlier in the lockdown check 100 or so face masks (sorry coverings) finished- friends and family. Check
Saturday was operation dinghy cover. I threw away the Weathermax colour sampler about 8 days ago as I thought it was not required, so naturally the old dinghy cover split shortly after bin collection day.😑

The old cover, cheap and cheerful fabric from EBay had uv degraded at last-after a reasonable time, it has to be said.

I rang the sail loft at our local chandlery. 
“What colour can I get to go with British Racing Green?”

”Not sure, someone has wandered off with my colour book.”

”You too?”

We commiserated and checked the website. Steve recommended a charcoal grey with a lighter yarn woven in and I went for that.

A couple of days later, he rang to say it was in. We drove over and he did a contactless delivery into the car. Result.

I like Weathermax, it is light and very high spec, so the new cover went together quite fast. I just need to do eyelets tomorrow and job’s a good’un..

 

Spiderman and generally Marvel masks...sorry coverings.
