Counting To The Days

Incidentally, someone on the FB group has posted that the sunken houseboat has gone from the Sutton Stalham triangle junction ... I'm sure you all know where I mean.

Really? - And about time too. :default_icon_clap:

I'll have a look-see as and when I'm passing Monday or Tuesday

We'll not be up for a few weeks- Kathy had her first knee replacement on Maundy Thursday so boating is off until she's a bit more mobile. Please keep the trip tales coming!

Hope Kathy is recovering ok and you'll be able to get back to boating soon.

Sigh, what are the yellow posts still doing there though?

I'm sure someone somewhere (maybe Rob at Sutton) said it was on a Windboat ferrocrete hull, maybe some bits got left behind.

I think I counted 7 liveaboards moored at Sutton yesterday.

I don't have a problem with that as long as they recommence respecting the 24 x Hr rule once the rivers start getting used again

There were 4 or 5 down Paddy's Lane / Barton Turf a week ago, so assume they may have relocated ( do Pelicans migrate south for winter ? ) Likewise re as long as they are mobile not a problem.

It's not Pelican any more. Renamed Toad some while ago. They're at the non-electric part of Sutton Staithe at the moment, probably waiting for the three on the leccy side to move (tomorrow?).

That was/is one of my fave wild mooring spots, nudge bow into reeds, lower mudweight over t blunt end.  Peaceful and secluded - sorted

This might explain why the yellow posts.

It’s not as busy as I expected, only 3 hire boats at Stokesby and the Pedro moorings at Acle only had 1 boat.  If people were not leaving git gaps there would have been room for 1 or 2 more on the free moorings as well.

In case anyone is interested The Thai Way takeaway and sit-outside restaurant is now open at the bottom of Church Road in Hoveton, by the turning into Roy's DIY and some of the day boats area.

Here's their website in case anyone visiting or mooring in Wroxham or Hoveton is interested.

https://thethaiway.co.uk/

Have you tried it? It looked quite interesting last week when we went by. 
I’ve just realised looking at the website that it’s the guy who used to have the Thai street food trailer on the industrial estate in Hoveton. That’s a great new spot for him, I hope he does well.
