I believe it works together with the bridge at Reedham which is why you had a long wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jayfire Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm sure you've said but how long are you out for Ian? I'll be around again soon so you may want to have cleared off by then Oulton is still one of my favourite spots, maybe I need to change mooring again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Glad you made it Ian and Marina. Been the best morning in a long while. We’ve been along by the sea at Lowestoft. Clouded up now and rain forecast for later but not too chilly at the moment. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a PET scan next monday.This will probably be our last trip this year sadly.Had hoped to have another trip but I may need further treatment and Marina may have a op on her wrist. Will be good to have a few hopefully stress free days.I will post some picks. Hope to see you around we should be around that area sat/sun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 About 20 minutes ago a stupid idoit came in to the YS hit us and the boat next to us.Of course I told him how stupid he was "I wasn't going fast he said".It was one of those wedge shaped boats from The WRC.Just spoken to the yard they will call be back.Marina thinks he was trying to re engage the steering. Not the place or time to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 I phoned WRC,they will contact me.The boat that hit us,came said sorry and will take responsibility. He admitted that he tried to disengage the steeing.Not the place to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a genuine mistake Hope you get any damage sorted by the boatyard however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 He was lucky I only called him a idiot.You don't try to disengage the steering close to other boats.He sure gave two of us a big whack.Perhaps now he's learnt a lesson.

I'm sure he has learnt a lesson, as have we all along the way as we have enjoyed our travels on the rivers. I'm sure he is feeling a right berk and anxious about moving again tomorrow, a little like a member of the NBN has been feeling this week on their own first visit, I just don't think they deserve to be called names for what appears to be a genuine mistake. Still, I hope you and your boat are fine and any damage is dealt with by the boatyard Enjoy the rest of your weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Can't see the front of the boat.The boat next to us has got some damage. Marina hurt her neck.He was going to fast.Then tried to change steering to close to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 More then likely, if I didn't say anything He wouldn't have admitted what he had done.Yes we all make mistakes. But to fast and to close to moored boats.Our boat is no oil painting ,but to many times we get hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
