Malcolm that is my understanding of the current plan for the marina, we have a option on the new moorings when & if planning permission is granted, there has been an objection from one of the houses that uses the gravel roadway for access.

Hello Helen, the plan as I understand it. is to remove all the vegetation and dilapidated buildings down to the river entrance. Where we are moored on the gravel roadway is then to be extended with more finger pontoons almost down to the river. Maybe Clive could update us with the plan?

Matt Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I think planning might have been submitted so check the BA planning portal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS2021 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 The plans look quite extensive. As well as the extension to the basin at the river end, they are also planning to demolish existing buildings and extend the basin at the other end as well as a new reception, new workshop, new wetshed. As Matt says the plans are on the BA planning portal. https://planning.broads-authority.gov.uk/PublicAccessDocs/planningdocs.aspx?appType=Development Control&appNumber=BA/2021/0456/FUL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Only two sleeps to go!…to our next jaunt on Moonlight Shadow. Amazingly both our sons have decided to join us this time, which I’m absolutely delighted about. Graham set off early this morning to Bournemouth to pick up our younger son from Bournemouth, where he’s been living this past year. He’s brought so much stuff home with him though. We have no hope of sorting that lot out tomorrow as packing for our holiday will have to take priority. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broads01 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Enjoy, Helen, I know how much it means to have your grown up children with you. Mine are both in there twenties now and both have been coming since they were toddlers. Somehow it seems extra special they choose to come of there own free will, so to speak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 I think we’ll have to fit in some really long cruising days as Harry, Alec and I all like having our turn on the helm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 When your grown up children stop coming you have a peaceful lull, then grandchildren start to come and the peace and quiet disappears We have two up for a week aged 13 and 8, two days to rebuild and then the other two aged 11 and 15 arrive for a week. We will make the most of it as too soon the cycle will turn and they won't want to come to stay. They are good fun to have but it is always nice to hand them back. Unfortunately we have to fly a large pink pirate flag when they are onboard. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll at least all the NBN members reading this now know how to spot you! Not that your boat isn’t distinctive as it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 My sons are going to be so pleased. Based on a tip off on our WhatsApp group from a fellow syndicate member I phoned Horning Pleasurecraft this morning and booked a sailing dinghy for the week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addicted Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Those of you whose children/grandchildren still want to spend time on the boat, make the most of it. Both our kids and grandkids have outgrown it now and we miss them. especially the grandkids when they were little they were so much fun. Fond memories of Mollie aged about 4 at the helm of our Fairline Mirage and making a pretty good fist of it {with Granddad's surreptitious supervision} waving enthusiastically to passing craft. It seemed as if one minute we were shopping in Toys R Us and the next we were springing for prom dresses! Csarole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 My two aren't exactly kids any longer. They're 31 and 29, but they still love messing about in a dinghy. It's a wonder they still want to come with us on a holiday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Helen my eldest son 40 this October wife and grandson are coming to the boat during my allocation from 30th August my youngest son now 37 would rather do anything than be on a boat, not even the temptation of having nothing to pay could temp him.

addicted Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 My daughter is 57 and my 2 granddaughters 26and 23 respectively. I stopped counting my birthdays a very long time ago! I think the peace and tranquility that often comes as part and parcel of boating and which we love translates as terminal boredom to them, Carole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cant wait for our first holiday with our 2 grandkids on Moonlight Shadow in August, then a more slightly relaxing cruise in september with our son.!

Regards Alan Funny how different the kids can be. My daughter, 35 used to hire with me and now her husband and she really enjoy taking the boat out themselves. I’m sure if/when they have children, they’ll make a lot of lovely memories on the Broads. But my son, 29, who loves outdoor activities and the environment in general, fellwalking, skiing, mountain biking, kayaking etc etc and even getting into gardening with some help from me, just hasn’t found a love for the boat. He came with me once on a hire boat, didn’t even want to take the helm although he loves driving, spent a lot of his time drawing and painting, but not the scenes he was passing and doesn’t feel the need to repeat the experience, even when a freebie is involved. Can’t win them all! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
