Indeed I owned Sir Losis of the River as she was previously known, I understand the pun was particularly apt as the owner at that time was a pub landlord 😁

She was Dakota when we had her and a lovely wooden topside she had. Great to learn she is out and about as I haven't seen her for 2 years!

Do you have a photo by any chance Turnoar?

Sadly no photo I’m afraid Ray, shame as I recall she was dressed up a bit to get in the spirit of the impending session at the ship once the rats arrived in the minibus laid on by Woodfordes, Folkstone Light had all the bunting on too strung up over the roof etc.

Not to worry, it's just nice to know she's out there and looked after 👍

Silverline fleet looking a bit depleted - maybe some in shed

I see they've been "Richardsonised" by being made all anonymous and with the name in silver on the stern. Sigh 😕

Indeed, noticed that, also a lot of the ex Swancraft are just the same. Good few out at the moment though. I think Ferry must have been having a January sale, lot around of them about as well. 

Very enjoyable evening in the White Horse too

It's children's half term week. Bet it will be quiet next week.

Loads of room at Horning this morning 

[NorfolkNog]

Went in Faircraft Loynes yard but no spaces. The yard staff there are really friendly and helpful but couldn't find us a spot. Tis a bit breezy this morning too

On their Facebook page they were offering 2022 prices and any day starts, so they've probably done well for last minute bookings.

[NorfolkNog]

Not bad clearance for the time of year 

[NorfolkNog]

Two boats spread out over almost the entire length of Horning Staithe. Fishing both sides. Grrrrr. Just managed to squeeze in at the end with inches to spare. Grrrr

[NorfolkNog]

Boat in front been running the engine so we've retired to the pub. Well after 8pm grrrrr... 

[Andrewcook]

NorfolkNog I hope when you and your Mrs Nog come back from the Pub that the idiot has now switched off his Engine for your peaceful tranquillity evening together on your Boat 

[NorfolkNog]

Hi Andrew, nope engine still going at 11.30

Fortunately after a couple of shandies in the Swan me and Mrs Nog got to sleep. 

Mental note to one self - avoid half term week

Mind you we ll get our own back - I'm setting off as soon as it's light and I won't be doing it quietly 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

oid half term week next 

[Hylander]

Are these the culprits?    I didnt think Richardsons hired out so early as February.   Obviously do now.

 

 

[NorfolkNog]

They are red hot about naming names on here M so I'm saying nuffinck! But yes, Richardsons. They are everywhere and most seem to be fishing. I think they must have had an offer on too. They have only starting hiring in February for the last year or two. It used to be quiet and peaceful, not now!

Other years I don’t think Richardson’s have started until March but they seemed to decide to grab half term as their start point this year. 

Enjoy your day wherever it takes you.  

[Hylander]

 Enjoy your last day and tomorrow have a safe journey home.   Thank you for posting and keeping us entertained at this very boring and dismal time of year.     You will have to find out when half term is next year and avoid it like the plague.

Mrs Nog is already on the case M!! 

Next year most half terms are 12th to 16th but a few are a week later. Depends on the local authority. So we'll ain to avoid that earlier week!!!

[NorfolkNog]

I think there might be a Nog in the offing

Thinking that a current member owned or had some part in the history of that boat.

There used to be a boat moored at Hartford marina on the RGO in the late 80s early 90s called Sir Osis of the River. I can't remember what sort of as boat other than to say it was a smallish white cabin cruiser.
