What's more isn't that little un similar to Dougs  Nipper?

Sure is, they both appear to be Belmores according to Craigs Database. If I have read the number off the transom correctly that is..........

.......the pic is back to front!

The last photo can you see what is glaringly un-seamanship like?

When doubling up on side moorings the accepted rule is that a big un should never be outboard of a little un.  Not only have we got boats four abreast (Try getting away with this nowadays) there are three big uns outboard of a little un!

What's more isn't that little un similar to Dougs  Nipper?

if you mirror the picture you can read the registration number A217 which indicates Sally May a Belmore class owned by maycraft, which as you correctly note is the same class that Nipper belongs to.

Couldn't work out which of Richardson's was next to Shining Light – it looked like something 7. Mirroring the pic and it looks like one of the Tranquil class.

is this any easier - the right way round

It really is about time you dug that box of photos out from your attic and did them justice on here Griff.  Go on, you know you want to...

I'm trying to imagine cruising past four abreast at the Yacht Station and how narrow it must have felt compared to nowadays. That could have been fun with a fast tide and traffic in the opposite direction.

First point, TVMOM to Grendel for displaying the image correctly

Second point:- It really is about time you dug that box of photos out from your attic and did them justice on here Griff.  Go on, you know you want to...

Oh you are so correct.  I have literally thousands of images both on photo paper and slides not to mention the cine films but there is a couple of issues here

1)  Work - I promised mysen last year that I would no longer book in my work diary work on Saturdays and go down to a five day week.  Now that MrsG is home and working / contributing albeit part time, there is no need for me to be working 6+ days per week.  Today being Sunday I have just completed another seven day week through no fault of my own but am confident this  common-to me situation will improve.  However currently booked up solid through to second week in April

2)  All our photo's  / slides / cine films and the important historical archive stuff from my Mum / Dad / Grandparents etc are up in our loft, normally not an issue BUT, MrsG's Mum died Dec 2019.  After clearing her Mums house out up in Jockland, more than a GriffTile van full arrived at our hovel and got stuffed un in our loft with the intention of sorting the lot out once MrsG's brother and his family came over from  Germany for Christmas 2020.  Covid stopped those plans.  Consequently our loft is rammed full. 

Not only is this situation stopping me sort out historical Broads stuff it is also hampering many items / records from my RN days that friends are pestering me for too

It is just is what it is I'm afraid.  Carol from Broadland memories would no doubt love those cine films donated after converting them over to digital. she is aware I have them and is promised first Dibs

Even whilst in this latest lockdown, my life seems to be so busy, the weeks fly by like there is only four days in a week
