He was ok  ,.........really needed a good turbo blowout by the way the muck was coming out of the exhausts!!

have some interesting rag and stick pics coming up.

[diesel falcon]

Well here we go again.....we decided to get a head start on the weekend and left the mariner on Friday evening late!! ,by the time we got to braydon it was already getting gloomy...we motored up the yare ,the gloom mounting as we went, we made the decision to try and get a spot on Langly dyke.....a brave move as at cantely sugar factory it was already erm gloomy!!

we crept down the dyke at zero moles an hour, and to cap it off the windscreens fogged up!!,after a bit of searching we got moored up ,cracked open a beer and relaxed ...it was 1015pm an intresting trip!!

[diesel falcon]

SAT MORNING.

We awoke saturday morning to glorious sunshine ,and it was already very warm...............warning the following picture may cause either offence or a stamped of adoring fan,s    

 

After some tea and a Bacon sandwich and a lazy morning we let go the ropes and headed up the river originaly for surlingham broad but we didn,t make the broad ..............more tomorrow.  

[diesel falcon]

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..

[quo vadis]

Two totally unsuitable boats for the broads  they look right out of place there.

[diesel falcon]

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.

[diesel falcon]

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!

Hi all,to this installment of Trev and Bob,s boating blog..........Bob goes north .

No LE GRAND CREW this trip as work and holiday clash forced us to not go  

 

SAT.

Everyone was ready early for there trip across brayden....good weather!and 25c

 

 

They just had to do something whilst waiting for the evening tide.....bit stingy with the loo roll.....

 

I think the weather gods got a bit annoyed look at Braydon......

 

 

 

Then this bit murky!!! fog on the lower Bure

 

 

They spent the night at Acle with a meal in the Bridge....review to follow,

[quo vadis]

1 Salmon salad, 2 ham egg and chips, 1 chicken curry and a scampi and chips all the meals were very good would highly recommend the pub service was also good.

[Hylander]

4 snaps up , where was that taken.   I can see leccy posts and a 24hr mooring opposite.  Just does not ring any bells.   Is it St Olaves ?

[Hylander]

Thank you.

[diesel falcon]

Bloody hell....he spoke    

I think they got up early and had breakfast at thurne dyke.............

 

[diesel falcon]

hi, sorry the trip up north didn,t add up to much but poor internet put a stop to it!!

Anyway we spent this weekend at Loddon one of favorite stops, the weather was nice not too hot if a bit breezy,

A Loddon there is a rather tame Heron that dosn,t seem to take any notice of people so we got some shots, sorry about the quality but got the camera settings wrong!!(i forgot to reset them doh) but not too bad

 

A right posser............................

 

 

READY.............

 

GO...................

[quo vadis]

Trev I don't need you anymore

[Hockham Admiral]

What a lovely (rambling) tale you do tell!    :clap  

[diesel falcon]

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!
