still appears to be room on the taxi rank for you there, and with the news that if you want to leave the ferry has to get out of your way, that cant be too bad.

[CambridgeCabby]

Back onboard for a few days , am solo until the weekend and Katie joins me , friendly waves to all fellow members afloat

Better level at Ludham , high tide

Taxi rank acquired

You went across the front of us turning into Ranworth, we did 👋 😄

[CambridgeCabby]

Apologies , didn’t spot you was busy watching the day boat motoring up behind me , belated wave from a distance now 

[Boaters]

See you had the corner mooring  yesterday,did not see you onboard.Staithe full ,some waiting hoping for the day boat on the front to leave ,maybe.Nice to see the so many out on a nice day.

Moored up on “The Holy Grail”, Horning staithe , made mussels for lunch and now soaking up the sun enjoying a few bottles of London Pride after cleaning the fenders 

[Guest]

We are in a rather baron Neatishead Staithe, just us and one other boat at 15:30pm...we are off to the pub in search of fellow humans!...and ale.

Ps...scratch that...the other boat is leaving as we speak so only us.

Afternoon tea beckons

You have to take the OVRC off the back, it'll get you a bad name.

Already got that , the OVRC and the reg number off the Ouse is part of her history hence I’ve left them both .

Whoo whoo , Katie onboard 

[Boaters]

OVRC ? Was that the club at St Neots? Moored opposite at Croshall for many years ,nice apart of the river ,good memories, before we came to Norfolk 

[CambridgeCabby]

Woke up to a beautiful clear morning , looks like it’s going to be another lovely day

I see Dave Whitworth has started putting up the videos of his recent trip. Cerise Lady is on the start of Day Two Part One as you were moored in front of him at Neatishead. Didn’t know if you had seen it or usually watch Dave’s videos. 

[CambridgeCabby]

Thank you and yes we had seen it , a kind fellow NBN member email us

The very same indeed, I moored up at st.neots marina for a good few years as it's only a shortish walk from home for me, one of the owners just lives across the corner from me.

[CambridgeCabby]

Cerise Lady all tucked up in the wet shed , picking Kates car up from Horning then convoy home , a bit overcast today and was very chilly last night , radiator plugged in all night so snug onboard 

[Boaters]

Hi,Smoggy,was that the marina near the Town center.we had some boating friends at Crosshall who lived in St Neots ,who we keep in touch with.What years were you there ?

Forgot to mention that contrary to the rumours that were abound concerning the removal of the hose and tap at Gayes Staithe due to lack of honesty in the honesty box we stopped there for brunch on Sunday and there is a new hose and tap along with a new honesty box fitted .

From what I have been told this facility was almost lost , can I urge anyone afloat to keep a few pound coins aboard so as to be able to contribute towards the water costs where these honesty boxes are present , I believe the accepted “donation” nowadays is £1 for small top up and £2 for a tank fill .

That’s a really good reminder. 👍 I think people genuinely don’t have cash with them a lot of the time.

We very rarely use cash anymore, but I make sure we have a stash of £1 coins for this very purpose although new hirers may not be aware.
