We should have been up for the weekend

Sorry you weren’t able to make it Malcolm. The weather forecast for tomorrow morning looks atrocious though. Hope our paths will cross during another trip.

And probably a kidney, too!! 😁

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.

At last, we finally got out on the river. Who would believe that less than half an hour ago it was raining.

The forecast is looking quite good for the rest of the day. Beautiful sunshine after such a grim morning. Enjoy your first cruise. 👍☀️🛥

[YnysMon]

We had a beautiful cruise, only passing three boats. Now at a very busy Loddon. 

[YnysMon]

…and there’s over a £1 left on two of the electric posts.

Bonus then Helen!

Looks like you should have a peaceful night as long as the trick or treaters stay away from the staithe ... 

[YnysMon]

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.

A couple of loud bangs on a frying pan just above the water might scare the fish away. Revenge is sweet!

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.

 

[YnysMon]

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.

[YnysMon]

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.

[YnysMon]

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.

Now that's a detour.

Graham swopped the maps when Helen`s back was turned.

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.

I think that both Moonlight Shadow and Evening Shadow were moored there, stern to stern.

Yes we are. Just got back from Latham's before the heavens opened.

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.

A rainy Potter bridge.

Hmmm.  It’d be the other way round for me.  Rush past the tat to get to the cakes!!!  😋
