diesel falcon Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Oh no, guess what the blogs back!!, Anyway we set off for the boat on Friday evening and had a good drive down the a47, the temperature outside was 28.5 c, phew.....thank god for climate control!!, by the time we got to st olaves it was 6 30pm and was still 24 c with a sea breeze, we unpacked the kitchen sink!! , and filled the boat up with water, the poor old girl needs a good clean,after 3 months of neglect...any volunteers?(thought not! lol) At 7 30 we started the engine,s and proceeded out of the mariner and down the Waveny , we then cracked open a beer and a wine , ,it was good to be out on the river and such great weather, we cruised up the Yare for as long as we could, but stopped at Langly upstream, don,t know why they have changed the name ,always knew it as Langly Dyke?. We got moored up at about 945, inbetween two other boats on the straith,as it was busy!! who,s let it out of the bag!!! A couple of drinks were had and a cold meal, then it was time for a well earned sleep,we woke to a stunning morning, so it was covers off ,first thing....................................... Langly upstream! around 11am We let go the ropes when ready and turned to port at the end of the dyke we had agood run up with the tide ,and met this guy ....................... We took the short cut through Surlingham broad it looked smashing in the good weather and tree,s fully in foalage,there was a nice woody aswell........................ We ended up moored at Coldham hall for the night, had a nice meal and drinks a wonderful day on the southern broads, A WORD OF WARNING ......THERE ARE A LOT OF MOSQUITO,S ABOUT, OUCHH, ITCH,ITCH!! Whilst moored on the stern on mooring at coldham, i happend to notice something on sunday morning, here,s a picture of the moorings, if you notice there a weed? with a feather attached, for a bit of fun.....what do you think lives in the weed?? i ll post up photographic evidence later! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanR Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Lovely photos - really enjoyed looking at those and being reminded of our holiday - can't believe it's almost three weeks since we came back now. Just wanted to add about the name of the moorings at Langley Dyke. Last year part of these moorings was being renewed when we were there - someone told us it wasn't being extended just replacing the quay heading and laying a path of sorts. We went back this year and used both the old and new areas, thereby discovering that one end is called Langley Downstream and one is called Langley Upstream. No idea why two separate names unless it is because the moorings aren't strictly speaking one continuous line along a straight bank? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Totally agree Jean, the photos are stunning, I'm still trying to figure out what lives in that plant lol, come on peeps, any ideas?
