Broads01 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 1 hour ago, YnysMon said: At our recent AGM there was some chat about the interior woodwork getting a bit tatty and getting a quote from someone to do it, so Graham suggested that he have a go at one area to see if other members think it’s up to standard before doing any more. He used to do quite a bit of woodwork when he was younger. It would cost us an arm and a leg to get Brooms to do it. It’s not the sort of thing they cover within our contract. That makes sense now, thanks for clarifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 At last, we finally got out on the river. Who would believe that less than half an hour ago it was raining. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The forecast is looking quite good for the rest of the day. Beautiful sunshine after such a grim morning. Enjoy your first cruise. 👍☀️🛥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 We had a beautiful cruise, only passing three boats. Now at a very busy Loddon. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 A peaceful night, but not such a peaceful morning. I woke around 6, despite hoping for a lie-in this morning. A couple of fishermen were chatting nearby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 We encountered two different groups of fishermen at the Loddon staithe this year, both groups very loud but one group were somewhat obnoxious and very drunk. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Actually this bunch were very friendly, at least the guy sat next to MS was. Just gone under the Yarmouth bridges at low water. Lots of clearance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Moored up at Acle on a lekky point. Hewland is moored nearby. We were hoping for Stokesby, which is much quieter, but the majority of the BA mooring was taken by a BA barge. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 We got to Dilham! Only just about though...about an inch to spare at Watford bridge. Now sitting in the sun with the roof down on another lekky point. Bliss. Can't believe it's so warm in November. I won't attempt to post a photo as the signal here isn't the strongest. Better than a few years back though, when it was nil. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Oops! Predictive text strikes again! Texting without wearing my glasses probably didn't help either. We had a lovely walk this afternoon along back lanes to Tonnage Bridge that spans the old North Walsham and Dilham canal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we are. Just got back from Latham's before the heavens opened. 1 hour ago, Mouldy said: I think that both Moonlight Shadow and Evening Shadow were moored there, stern to stern. Yes we were, but they left for pastures new just before we went to Latham's We started off moored behind Thunder and moved behind Evening Shadow when they left. Had a nice chat to both boat's crews before they left. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
