FairTmiddlin Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Just been on Herbie Woods Webcam looks like a busy day, even boats double moored on the river. Saw about 4 go out at ten this morning, so people starting really early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw about 4 go out at ten this morning, so people starting really early. I think you will find they have 89 boats going out over 3 days this weekend. They certainly are getting them out. Good to see families wearing masks and being careful. Gladdens my heart to see the boats going out once more. I know we all take a risk but life has to go on and you have to be very careful. Snip taken at 3 this afternoon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceSwinger Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Not sure of his source, but my brother in law told me this morning that they'd let some leave last night. Apparently they were due a Friday start and were told initially to stay in the yard but were then told they could leave. As I say, not sure on the accuracy of that, nor the source.

NorfolkNog Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Not necessarily, they could argue that they could be slept in a minute past midnight. Maybe not strictly illegal but not in the spirit of the guidance. I bet there have been some pubs opening just after midnight. Again very dodgy but not illegal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late, you want to see the nonsense being spouted in another place. My first reaction was negative but stepping back and rethinking, although twisting (not breaking) the rules, it keeps the rush at the boatyard down with better social distancing and was in fact a sensible move.

NorfolkNog Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Good grief. Even clogging it and favourable tides I would think, fag packet calculation, eight hours non stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have been going against the tide all the way to Yarmouth. And got there a bit after high tide. No problem with flat batteries then (presume they must have been an early leaver- could have set off Friday night, but even so a fair clog) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 That does seem much more likely given some were out yesterday. Maybe heading for a night out on Prince of Wales Road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
