(not) Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow

[LizG]

Watch this space , as tomorrow we are off on another Broads (but not Moonlight Shadow) jaunt for the extended weekend. Dave (JanetAnne) is letting us use his wooden cruiser ‘Water Rail’. Isn’t that super kind!
I must admit to be amused at his reply to my enquiry as to which boatyard we should aim for tomorrow...she’s moored at the end of a friend’s garden.
Keep an eye out for us if are out this weekend on the south side!
Helen
 

Hope you enjoy your stay on my ole boat. Enjoy her history!

Had a super time this afternoon taking Water Rail up to Geldeston. Now moored in the dyke that leads to the boatyard.

Lovely. Turns on a sixpence in these tight turning places!

just be careful of the holes in the banks and the hidden stakes in the banks when walking along there, we moored up 3 jewels and BA in that dyke and visited the hostelry there.

We did too, happy days.  What was most impressive is that all four craft managed to reverse all the way out of the dyke without ever once having to burst ahead to correct their intended direction of travel.  If I hadn't of witnessed it mysen I would never have believed it. 

Must have been something to do with the amount of rounds consumed during the DTS

You passed us going up to moor at Langley Dyke this morning.   Prior to you mooring the boats leaving had been double moored. Very popular place to go to by boat and also a lovely walk for us two old codgers.   We noticed that Lodden Staithe was chocker.

Ooh! Thanks for posting!
We also spotted a certain someone going upstream on Moonlight Shadow just before we got to Langley Dyke. We are kicking ourselves that we didnt take a photo...too busy waving!
I did get slightly alarmed when I turned into Langley Dyke at the sight of two other boats making their way toward me. No problems though, just took things slowly.

No photos please Helen, nobody needs to see such terrible sights 

I'm sorry if I didn't catch what you said quite correctly, I heard "have you got the horn" to which my answer was correct but I feel I may have misheard you 

Lovely to have spotted you though, hope you have had a great time and would love to see you again sometime if you spot me 

Take care Helen

Just got back home. Tale to follow once I’ve sorted my photos etc. 

Jay, I’ll explain what I was shouting when I get to that part of the tale. 

Anyway, we had a great time, despite the ‘varied’ weather.

You mean you wasn't asking me about my, erm, mood?????

I've changed my mind about adding the tale of our weekend on Water Rail to this thread. She deserves her own thread! I shall shortly be posting a new thread 'Weekend on Water Rail'.
