What's the height of your Boat Ruthie? Should be a plate near the wheel

 

It’s 7ft with screen down . Looks like low tide in the morning around 8 to 9 but we also need to think about return as we want to head back to Loddon tomorrow so will only be able to spend an hour or two there .

[Ruthie1970]

Big change of plan for meal , getting quoted £30 return and no taxi company will to do late evening so just spoke to a lovely lady at the Wine Vaults and we have secured a booking for this evening 

Cancelled White Lion 

[NorfolkNog]

Glad you cancelled White Lion,  sadly some less considerate folk don't bother. Taxis in Norfolk and Suffolk not same as in towns - often very small firms and not able to be as flexible 

Wine Vaults sounds a good plan and ypu should be OK to walk, I'd have thought about 15 mins 

Please let us know how you get on

Happy Birthday Ruthie. Moored on the Riverside - Captain 11. Feel free to come say hello if you wish.

Yes would always cancel a booking , not fair on businesses especially in these circumstances.

Will definitely let you know how it goes and thank you

Watch that landlord, you've been warned he is a bad man!
