Ray Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Today honourable mention for Speed Triple, good to see you. Also I just a few minutes ago waved at Nyx from our wild moorings on the Bure I know others are out and about so will be looking out for you all 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Good to read that Nyx is out and about, even if it's not me on it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Ah, sorry MM I didn't realise... I waved quite enthusiastically too 🍺 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 The chap at the helm is called Bernie (probably because that's his name) and he is normally with his fine wife Lorraine. One day he'll get around to joining the forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 That would be good, he waved back but Lorraine didn't see me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeCabby Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Had a pleasant chat with the two of them yesterday at the Hoveton Kings Arms moorings , Katie and I were on foot as sadly we are unable to get under Wroxham bridge , couldn’t get their parrot to join in the chat though . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersjoy Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 We also saw Nyx coming out of Wroxham, thought it was odd not seeing you at the helm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to Petersjoy at Salhouse this morning but he didn't know who I was and I didn't know who he was he had obviously not seen the 2 NBN burgees on the boat we were standing by. Had a coffee and a chat on Lightning this afternoon with Neil and Karen at How Hill sadly taking the boat back in the morning moored at Paddy's Lane for the night Lulu's parents moored behind us 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Yes, it's been a good day for seeing new faces, sadly in Ray's case, only in passing. At least we had a chat with SG. If you read this before tomorrow afternoon Ray, we're aiming for Stacey Arms for the night to get across Breydon early Wednesday, which way are you headed?.

I don’t know what boat you are on to give you a wave. I must start my Luna’s Log write up. Seen so many NBN people yesterday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are pottering about towards Coltishal via Ranworth, Salhouse and Wroxham. If we can't get through Wroxham Bridge we'll turn round and find a wild mooring. We do hope to head south a bit later in the week ST, we'll keep a look out for you 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumPunch Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I've often wondered if there is any mileage in having a 'members seen on the water' photo thread ? This stems from both a desire to have a shot of me sailing as well as seeing a number of fellow forumites out and about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meantime Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I can think of one or two contributors to the drone and dashcam threads that may not be so keen!! Perhaps we would need an etiquette. Fly one NBN burgee if you don't mind your picture taken, fly two if you do mind and don't want to end up pictured on the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siddy Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Last I only saw 2 burgee flying and a members boat that didn't see us but thought we'd want mooring on the bank with his wash. After many years of service my flag pole (3/8" wood) strapped to the front lost a fight with a branch so new one ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Waved at Ranworth Breeze this morning as she passed us heading upstream on the Yare just before the Beauchamp Arms which we are currently sampling. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 The food was wonderful! This pub seems a little past it's best from the outside but the food and the service were fantastic. I'm not an ale fan I'm afraid but the fizzy foreign stuff I prefer was ice cold as it should be. Their music selection was right up our street and we had a delightful lunch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Just posted a separately about them, the short version is great service and great food plus good value for money. We would certainly go back, although I can't comment on the quality of the ale simply because I don't drink it 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Sadly, we won't be seeing any other members till next March, we arrived home at 15.00 this afternoon, which is only 250 miles away in East Dorset. Any members close by this way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
