DAVIDH Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I nearly always add a third line as a spring if staying for more than a couple of hours. Can't remember where I got the idea from, but it's been sufficient everywhere on the Broads, but Yarmouth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 have you seen the nice sheltered spot that is their home mooring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Bit breezy at Neatishead ATM but springs set again in case the wind gets up while we are in the pub 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home mooring is really well sheltered, (see pictures) so she will be fine I take it you are tucked up nicely now @YnysMon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Yes, we are nicely tucked up and sheltered, but still using spring lines to stop the boat rocking about too much. As I found out when I was coming in to moor, the odd gust of wind is rebounding off the shed. Just when I thought the wind was helping me in nicely (as it's blowing up our dyke) and before Graham had a chance to get off, the boat got blown off the quay heading alongside the shed. Luckily the mooring next to us is vacant at the moment, so it was easy to reposition. It did take me aback though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewcook Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 At last, you both are safely tucked up for the night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broads01 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I guess it helps when speedsters race past you on a busy stretch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
