Don't like to waste valuable drinking time eating so not this time but maybe for Mrs Nog's birthday. Also top marks to the Ship for not booting us out early. Most enjoyable evening with Little Sharpie and Mrs Nog worked the gin shelf. Excellent pub 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 Safely through Great Yarmouth Passed a Ranger on Breydon but he didn't bother us. Sharp eyed Mrs Nog spotted a water point at the Stracey Arms Mill, pay at shop. Wondered if it's new or just never seen it before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Did think of you today with this gale blowing. So pleased you are safely across. Was it rough? Yes you have always been able to get water at Stracey, and long may it remain so. Always was a bit slow and you had to pay up front and it ran for a certain amount of time. Now saying that , that was when Tony owned the shop , not too sure about the new owners. Probably just the same. I did notice that the shop and house was up for sale, not sure if it completed. May be someone else on here will know, I would like to know as plan to visit in May next year. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/138550016#/?channel=RES_BUY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 Hi M Breydon was quite calm really, southerly wind possibly. No issues, all went very smoothly. Didn't stop for water at Stracey as fairly full but worth noting. Now dropped anchor 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Nothing to stop you passing a ranger on breydon as long as you do it with consideration and don't bounce them all over the place, speed is irrelevant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, no speed limit on Breydon. Just think in winter they don't have much to do so might want to check what we're up to Been taking it very steady all week though, it's amazing how much fuel you save 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We take the boat back on Monday M Compared with last December it is much milder but wetter! In some ways I prefer it frosty but dry. Fur and Feather today hopefully for a drop of Norfolk Nog 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbx5 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Have a try in my local the Stag (formally The Bell) at Salhouse Howard you will like. Make sure you book if eating as all the tables are set for dining and fully booked especially with the silly season upon us.
