CambridgeCabby Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Katie and I are up for the week , quick visit this a.m. in Boulters (starboard rocket cover gasket , did the port two weeks ago). Then a gentle cruise around the Northern rivers , we were originally going South but since we couldn’t start on Sunday we decided against it . We moored last night at Boulters so they could fit gasket first thing to a cold engine . awoke this morning to an incredible lightning display overhead accompanied by earth shaking thunder . 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Thank you to Boulters , they were onboard at 08:30 getting Cerise Lady done , gentle stroll into Horning village , supplies from the marvellous butchers and we cruised to Ranworth , had to wait for 45 mins for a space but now moored just in front of the taxi rank 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeCabby Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Gave up working a seven day week so now can always escape weekends at least , and considering Cambridge now has over 2500 cabs the slice of the pie is barely worthwhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeCabby Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Gentle cruise today to a beautiful Salhouse , moored up early and spent most of the day relaxing in the shade , too bl***y hot to be out in the sun . Hoping to get in at Womack tomorrow as The Kings Arms has live music , and we need some fresh supplies from the butchers , and shock horror Katie is running out of ciggies 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessan Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I wonder if it’s anything to do with the number of boats due to go out tomorrow? If boats were out on short breaks this week, Monday to Friday, but have been booked for a full week from tomorrow, there might well be a brief period of quiet tonight - if you see what I mean!

DAVIDH Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The Monday to Friday boats stay just that throughout the season. When it comes back in, it could go out for 3 nights Friday to Monday, or 7 nights Friday to Friday. The boatyards will have others that are Saturday to Saturday, or Saturday to Tuesday and Tuesday to Saturday.. This way, the boats are not lying unused and unbookable for that one night in the yard. Which does not explain why the rivers are quieter than usual. Hoseasons report that there are still 24 classes of cruiser available to hire from tomorrow - according the the BBC, the busiest weekend of the year for people travelling to their holidays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
