Moorings And Things.

[MauriceMynah]

Well, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Corsica 2, soon to be re-named Nyx now has a mooring. Richardson's found a spot for me so there I be and there I stay.

[Smoggy]

A good result then.

If you hide amongst the hire boats they might clean it and pump out for free.

Really pleased it's sorted whether a long-term solution or just short term

That thought had occurred to me. :-)

Have you got a mooring at Stalham or Horning ?

John

[MauriceMynah]

It's at Stalham. Nice and handy for a quick cruise to Sutton Staithe.

[CambridgeCabby]

Neighbours (for a while at least ) then 

[MauriceMynah]

Yep, reckon so! but never mind I'm not in the wet shed. :-)

[Jbx5]

You don’t want to be in there anyway as I’m lead to believe there is a Yorkshire man that thinks he is a comedian frequenting the place 😂

I guess you are in the first bason among the other liveaboards so you will have company nice spot there if you look away from the sheds although they will block the north winds,  well done one of the best liveaboard sites John

[MauriceMynah]

I don't think I'm amongst the liveaboards, as I'm not a liveaboard (yet) but it's something to aim for.

His taste in loud music is worse than his jokes!

There goes the neighbourhood! I wonder if we can get a rates reduction? Seriously though, welcome to Stalham, MM.

Well there certainly used to be.  Due to the present situation, 'He' doesn't nowadays frequent the place as much as he used to and nowhere as much as he would like.

Not been near the place since 17th October now

Joking aside, Charlie, there was a freezing fog across the Broads last night. Granted that BA is in a comfy shed and has strategically placed heaters but will that be enough? As I came off the marsh yesterday I could feel my skin tightening with the frost.

There was an empty mooring next to our boat ( Cathy P) on Richardsons Golf moorings. It's good to sit out and watch the hire boats come and go, not quite so good watching how closes some of them come.

Steve😀

[MauriceMynah]

The only thing I have been told is that it's a stern on mooring, I know nothing more!

Having said that there was mention of "Merlin" but that might have been where she was, where she is or where she will be!

[SteveP]

Just realised that Corsica 2 at 42ft is probably too long for the Golf moorings, I think Merlin quay finishes near the toilet block.

[MauriceMynah]

As yet I have no idea where anything is on the yard, toilet blocks, various quays or shower blocks. Nothing at all. but I'll soon find out :-)

Let me help, MM. There's The Swan and Grebe in the High Street, The Harnser at Stalham Green, and a nice walk to The Sutton Staithe Hotel. I understand the Holiday park across the road from Richardsons also has a bar/restaurant open to non-residents, but I haven't been there. Hope that helps.

Indeed it has, and I have. I wonder if Jayfire and/or Norfolk Nog have been in there too.

BUT... I'm still going to have to find out where the Merlin Merlin and the Golf Golf quays are.

Can't speak for Fireman Sam but sadly not. I did go to have a look for it once after a reccomendation from Mr Meantime if I remember correctly. I think it's quite near Richardsons but over the other side of the main road. Not sure if they sell any beer or not or if you need to be a member or anything. If anyone does find out I'd be very interested to know. My own personal choice is the Swan as they sell real ale. The Grebe was all keg although I seem to think Fireman Sam did say there was some beer on when he visited last. Harnser is a nice pub, bit of a walk, Sutton Staithe further still but worth it particularly to work up a thirst. I've also walked to the Ingham Swan from Stalham but again a decent hoof. 

But yes, I'd be interested to hear about the holiday park. 

[MauriceMynah]

It was some years ago I went there and although my memory of the visit is a bit vague, I recall the lack of real ale kept my visit short.

They are going to be the places you try and find to return to once you have been to The Swan, The Grebe, The Harnser and The Sutton Staithe. If you really fancy a walk there is also The Swan at Ingham. 

Now regarding that bar in the holiday park, I thought it was Mr Nog who first mentioned that one. Blind leading the blind springs to mind.
