Gracie Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Definitely take Mr Nog's advice and go to the pub, choose one with a garden to have a nice drink and watch the flappy thingies, they really are an absolute joy to watch. Stay off the rivers though, they put the fear of god in me x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 3RR is definitely scheduled for the 5th June/6th June next year - hopefully it will go ahead. My suggestion is that you just stay in the basin and wait for the fun to subside. Just take yourself off to the bridge and watch! The river will be almost back to normal by Sunday morning! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I'm sure you cope very well Grace (particularly with a glass of wine in hand) I would guess that by the afternoon they should have spread out so I'm sure that you'll be OK. The 3 Rivers race will get a lot of coverage on here so there should be plenty of information about it. Again having a smaller boat like Evening Light is a bonus, you'll have a great time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broads01 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 11 hours ago, marshman said: I read time and time again how difficult it is to turn in a narrow spot such as Dilham (10 point turns etc etc ) but all you have to do is to moor up and turn it on the ropes!! No sweat no bother and no hassle. I agree that turning on the ropes is easy and it's a method often overlooked. The only thing I would qualify that with is that the method does depend on mooring space being available which at Dilham isn't always the case. There's enough room to turn on the engine even with boats moored there though. Another method I like if you have a willing crew member to hold the bow rope tight to the mooring is to put the rudder hard over and gently motor round with the bow rope held. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I'm a bit confused if this thread is about Evening Light or Dilham! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 It could be worse seeing as it's so quiet in Pontypandy at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
