Ha ha! 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 

[Hylander]

I like you Avatar Howard ,  very apt.

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. 

[Hylander]

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.

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

Ah, going the other way, rather than overtook 

Steady 1500 revs 

[Smoggy]

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.

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 

[NorfolkNog]

Raining again! Stove is lit in the Lion though 

[Hylander]

How long are you here for this time Howard?         At least the weather is a tad milder now.

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 

[Smoggy]

Bright and cold always beats mild and wet as long as the boat has good heating.

DTS as Griff would say

We were there earlier this year - but by car not on foot!  Good booze and food

[NorfolkNog]

Very good indeed. Not tried the grub but Nog and Winter Reserve very good. Mrs Nog working the gin shelf (again) 

[Hylander]

Do you have to go home Howard and Mrs Howard, you are keeping us all occupied.

 

[NorfolkNog]

Managed to beat the rush at Horning

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.

That’s useful to know, thanks. I’m hoping to take a walk along there next week.

Thanks for the heads up John. Not been in for a long time. What beer do they have on? 

[Jbx5]

Will let you know later 😂

From memory Ghost ship, Blue moon, Prava was on last week

I assume you moored at Salhouse earlier, Howard. Any other hire boats there?
