NorfolkNog Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Apologies if this has been covered before and I've not been paying attention! We moored at what was Moonfleet for some water. We noticed there was empty space on their Quay so Mrs Nog went to make enquiries. They very kindly said we could moor there for a few hours as Richardsons looked very full. Nice woodie being slipped too. But I just wondered, what the form is, is it a takeover, have Moonfleet/Richardsons sold out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebee29 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hi Howard I remember something a while ago about Rico’s moving the Moonfleet operation to the Horning yard and Simpson’s taking the Moonfleet yard back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Looked a bit like a Broom from a distance (if that's the one) but could be wrong of course! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garryn Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Looks very much like Zephyr a Broom Captain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Yes it will be Zephyr as I know she went round to Simpsons last month. The (New) owner did post much the same in here somewhere or t'other Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malanka Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Griff is correct. Gavin is the new custodian of Zephyr with Cesar and Max the lab. His handle here is thasarummun and we look forward to seeing Zephyr out and about after some TLC from Phil and the boys. After the sale of the boatyard Phil stayed and is the General Manager there and silll doing a great job. Gavin will soon get used to everyone knowing what Zephyr is doing..LOL The price of fame ....he he... only kidding, although a shock at first it is incredibly nice that folks take such an interest and in a community like this one you're never far from a friendly bit of advice or even practical help. We consider everyone here to be friends we just haven't met yet. Martin / Fiona and Boris and Monty the airedales 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thasarummun Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 LOVE this: like a child being watched out of school :) We are HOPING that she's able to get back to the Wetshed this weekend so we can get aboard and prepare for Christmas :) Can't wait to meet everyone - works (as always) were a bit prolonged but will be very relieved to hear she is not sinking soon. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
