diesel falcon Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 SAT PMish, we motored up the river ,it was a glorious day ,as said the plan was to spend the night mudded on Surlingham broad, there was only one problem........yes you ve guest it we hadn,t got any eggs for breakfast!!..doh. We hatched a plan!! we would go to the shop in brundel and moor here........... We got to the mooring before Bob , but there was only room for one boat....hang on look what it says on the sign....first time for everything!! when bob arrived we double moored, and lined the boats up so it was an easy step from boat to boat. Bob and Jeff walked to the shop and got papers and eggs ect, There was plenty of comings and goings to the moorings in the afternoon ,and we were told that there were a lot of boats on the broad so we decided to stay on the moorings for the night.....it got very hot!! Later on the afternoon we lit the barby......as you do.... to be cont.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel falcon Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Looks like one of them was built here? Yes your right.......very close to there!! A ny way we spent the afternoon sipping ice cold beer and had a very nice barby and watched the traffic going by(got some funny looks ref the double moorng!! here,s some snaps of the river....... hang on a sister ship!!! a cross section of the passing boats. We then went for a short cruise in the evening to The Ferry House to see some friends,had a couple then another night time mooring, up. Shattered we retired to bed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Sunday we woke to a different scene it was cloudy but not cold, after a quick cupper we let go the ropes and started on the cruise back.....all went well without incident except for this............... Now i know everybody has different opinions on this !!! feel free to comment , Now back to the top for Bob,s engine cleanout. So that,s it for this entry of the blog hope you enjoyed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

READY............. GO................... GOT IT................. GULP..............

diesel falcon Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Last weekend. We were there at Rockland.....some news about the pub,,,it,s up for rent!! again so if your brave you can run the PUB. After a nice night in the straithe Sue and i ,left Bob at Rockland to head down the Yare with the tide, and as we hadn,t got to get back until evening (i was working in Norwich monday am so we were staying the night) we stopped at Reedham and had a pint in the ship...very relaxing , we then caught the last of the tide down to the Berney Arms, stopped there for a drink and wait till the tide turns to get a push up the Waveny.....not impressed with the Berny, the place hasn,t changed but the welcome has!. Whilst we were there a hire boat pulled up to moor but was having trouble ,so i gave the erm Lady a had ,and the erm gent thanked me from the helm.................the picture says it all eaach to there own as they say!
