meanderboatgirl Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I notice the boat next to mine has sunk at HW potterheigham. I think I added this correctly . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 the best bet is to let the owners of the moorings know, they should have a record of the boat owners, its always sad to see boats that have sunk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Oulton Broad so far... Three sinkings, two break adrifts and now a distinct smell of diesel... Apart from that it's been a quiet day, lol 1 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynne will almost certainly be in the office tomorrow. Such a shame to see that, every boat is someone's pride and joy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrundallNavy Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Mine broke the finger mooring and was severely bending the one next door. Now secure with spring lines to the bank. IMG_2836.MOV 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I think there is a plan to try and refloat Southern Belle on the mornings low tide. If she doesn't come up she will be quite a challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrundallNavy Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Now safely moved to the corner mooring and much more secure, once the finger has been repaired we will move it back. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Does the sale price include raising it out onto the hard standing ready for collection? - Probably not! Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 No, you're right... but it does include the mooring until the end of December, this year's toll and it still has a current BSS cert. I'm not associated with the seller, don't even know who they are but I thought it was interested as those who know what they're doing can work wonders with boats in need of tlc 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgregg Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yeah if the mooring is included then that's not so bad - But you have got to dispose of the boat and that could be costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanderboatgirl Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 boats raised and floating.. its actually not to bad of a boat. its got a Volvo petrol engine, and I think its a outdrive?? the skinny prop bits on a moving bit like a outboard. I dunno if that's the correct term I used..lol.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
