Siddy Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Loribear I see your out on No 4 our fav boat (so I told lol) had this out 6 times, get the top bed made up and leg out. Only fault I have is drying the windows in a morning after showers & if you have a black bag place it under the window to remove the reflection from behind the dash. little tips you pick up on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loribear Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Day two, we had breakfast then went to potter heigham & went all the way down to the marina but could'nt find anywhere to moor as it was chockers, so we went to where there were some quiet moorings as they were called, & had a little struggle getting off of boat as the moorings was low& ive only got little legs lol, so we went & did some shopping & bought some cream cakes as you do lol, welk they were just sat that looking at me saying EAT ME lol, then went back to boat for a cuppa & cake , we had a nice of that little house across the river, not sure what it used to be, someone said it used to be a helter skelter , & we later passed two windmills, one was thurn not sure about this one though, , this is weird, ive even turned the photos the other way round & they've still ended up on their side again, grrrr lori.

loribear Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Later on we decided to try & moor a acle but we were out of luck, so we went to stokesby & was yet again out of luck, ive never seen it so busy everywhere for this time of year, we ended up stopping at stracey just up from the tapas bar, & watched the beautiful sun go down & the starlings swoop & make beautiful patterns in the sky, here is a little vid i took on my fone, so it may not be brilliant lol, & at about 7.30 if was starting to get quite dark & we saw a boat go down at speed towards yarmouth, but i don't think he would have made it though, tomorrow we are going to yarmouth but not going over breydon this year.

LondonRascal Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Fantastic to capture this with the Starlings. I have yet to see this in real life having previously only seen it on nature programmes on the telly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hi Robin, My home town of Ayr, use to have a huge problem with Starlings, but nothing like Glasgow's problem with them, the mess and the noise was unbelievable.

loribear Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Today we went into great yarmouth , had a great day , but when we came back there was very loud music which lasted for ages that was coming from a caravan site across the river, so we decided to head back to stracey, we'd only just set off when the oil light alarm went off, then the engine light alarm started screaming at us, so we had to come back ,but we'd checked everything earlier & it was all fine apart from the oil, which was alittle low, but we switched the engine off to let it cool, but when we tried it again there was no water coming out of the back, so rang engineer up & they're coming round tomorrow morning hopefully.

Hockham Admiral Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Wow, Lori, that must have been close. I don't know if they still do but BB used to wire a "stop-relay" into their boats' engine for such warnings! We dis-connected ours on Friday Girl for just the time when it happened where yours did... Gt Yarmouth with a running tide. Congratulations on keeping a cool head! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
