I can't remember what sort of as boat other than to say it was a smallish white cabin cruiser. Carole This is Sir Losis of the River when we had her. We sold her in 2021. They may of course be other boats using similar names. (Sorry about thread drift NN 🍺) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanR Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 We really don’t like the shop since it moved into one end of the pub. Not the same friendly service it used to be and not the same range of products either. A big thumbs down here. 👎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely sunny day though 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meantime Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 It used to be in the thatched building behind the pub. I think it is now the brewery office or reception for the tours. I think the change came when the pub tenant left to start the Station Smokehouse at Hoveton station. The brewery decided not to put another tenant in the pub and decided to manage it themselves. Since it was brewery staff now running the pub, it probably made sense to relocate the shop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnut Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I also agree. The shop is definitely not on my ‘must go to’ list any more. I have a look if I’m there. I don’t tell friends to save their pennies elsewhere in readiness for a visit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewcook Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Hi, Norfolknog I'm sorry to know that Twit ran the engine when you and Mrs. Nog came back to your Boat. I like to say how much pleasure you've both given us all Forum Members of your adventures. As to picking your Holiday dates I have avoided those Schools Half Terms as I've done in the past and be going again this Saturday for Two weeks Frozen in I bet brrr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Hi Andrew thanks, it was annoying but to be honest if that's the worst part of the holiday I can live with that. Trouble is the yards tell you to run the engine 4 hours a day and if you are sitting on a mooring fishing you are not getting the hours in. I think a lot of folk run the engine to heat water. I think it warms up quicker under load so me and Mrs Nog shower on the move which saves valuable time and doesn't annoy everyone else. Could have been one of those ex Connoisseur boats, get behind one of those with the engine running and you really do know about it!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broads01 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Half-term in my part of the world is the week coming, Howard, so if you want February and super quiet I'd go for either the beginning or the very end of the month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauriceMynah Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 There can be a real danger that he'll talk himself into it. I wouldn't discuss it again with him. He needs to maintain a positive attitude to the issue. People don't get sea sick on the Broads. If he believes that, he won't be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeCabby Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Never felt sea sick whilst cruising The Broads , but , when we used to hire and not cruise so frequently Katie used to get “wobbly leg syndrome” when she went ashore after a long cruise . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham introduced me to sailing off Anglesey in the 1970's, but I used to get very queasy. So, whilst I liked sailing, I didn't really take to it. Just tell him that there's no problem on the Broads -and don't take him across Breydon at the start of the week if there's more than a gentle breeze. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
