Moorings And Things.

[MauriceMynah]

Well well well! Ladies and gentlemen, you won't recognise Nyx next time you see her.

"Don't say he's cleaned her" I hear you all shudder. Nope, for the time being, she still has that now famous "Patina" you all know and love.

"Maybe he's tidied the cockpit out." No wrong again. that is yet to happen, but as with cleaning her, it will occur in the fullness.

Nope, ladies and gentlemen, I have I suppose, in a way ... Built an extension.!!!

Instead of being that 27' long so well known of Elysians, she has grown to 42 feet, and instead of that famous 9'6" beam, she is now 12' beam. In fact instead of being an Elysian, she is an Aquafibre 42.

In her previous guise she was one of Richardson's finest, but they have been generous enough to let me buy her. 

This leaves me with a tiny weeny problem as I suspect she will be very reluctant to go beneath Potter Heigham bridge. So, I need a new mooring, preferably in the near future.

It is with that in mind dear readers, I ask you all to keep ears to the ground to find such a thing. Very strong preference for the northern waters but that aside not too worried where.

Richardson's are for the moment unable to accommodate but I shall be asking to go on their waiting list as I like the top of the Ant. Broads Edge can't help and I can't get through to Broad gate. Any suggestions welcome.

Congrats on your purchase Mr MM. Happy cruising on your new boat.

[Gracie]

Congratulations, so so pleased for you 

A lot more boat to keep clean but then again I guess you won't bother   x

[ExSurveyor]

Congratulations MM,

Thats even more boat not to clean.

[Regulo]

Surely no-one in their right mind has bought Nyx? Or are you using it as a tender? You'll be buying one of those gin palace things next! 

[CambridgeCabby]

Congratulations 

[Mouldy]

Congratulations MM.  The potential for the future growth of ‘patina’ is substantial.

Nyx has a potential purchaser. Staggering aint it. !!

You might have been better with  the ex Richardson’s San Marino I have just passed on the A11 heading south that is green.

Congratulations I hope you have many happy years with her.😀

[Lulu]

Congratulations! 

[Smoggy]

Congrats on your new toy, you'll be rattling around inside that thing after a 27 footer!

[OldBerkshireBoy]

Guess you are no longer looking to rent the storage space on land then. 

Congrats.

Congrats.

That's still a live option.

[Meantime]

Congratulations on your upgrade of bonded locker, urm boat  

[OldBerkshireBoy]

Err, 27ft to 42ft and you still might need storage, your new boat come with occupants? 

[MauriceMynah]

I've promised myself not to clutter the boat but still need somewhere to keep trailers etc.

I suppose you’ve tried Herbert Woods, as in Waterside Marine, not top of the Ant, but the right side of Potter H bridge🥴

You would have Fireman Sam as a neighbour! 

[gancanny]

you could try, wayford marine,  over the river from peter and thelma

     01692 583192,  and handy for the pub

[vanessan]

Congrats MM, sounds like a brilliant purchase. You should have plenty of room on that for the necessary ship’s stores - and some!

Know of somebody that asked a few weeks ago and they said a flat no to liveaboards.

[Ray]

No one has mentioned Sutton Staithe Boatyard yet. It's in the right area, has a great owner and crew and is certainly competitive.

I don't know if they have any vacancies but if you speak to Rob he'll let you know.

I spoke to Rob this afternoon. He has no space.  :-(

 

Many thanks for these suggestions.
