petersjoy Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 If that is Katinka and he still owns it, but i guess he will let friends use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 His mum was on one of the Facebook groups a week or so ago saying he still owned it. He often lets family and friends take it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumpy Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I think we saw Jimmy Doherty (him with the 'farm' out Wherstead way) at the helm a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetChugger Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Yes he has been mentioned also. Jamie lets him use the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Got in at Womack Staithe for about 1530 no problem. The fishing was pants. Dinner onboard. No phone signal but tv reception was good. 2230 and a Brinks Boat two boats down started up their engine. I was counting to ten hoping their immediate neighbours would have a word when they cast of and departed into the night - wow Tuesday 04th. I had to walk into village to pick up answer messages from customers. We sailed at 1000 for Salhouse. Nice cruise, very warm with gentle breeze. Grandson swimming. Me fender cleaning The girly crew wanted Horning overnight. Really? It was now 1600. No chance I explained but off we went all the same. Everywhere was Rammed as you would expect. However got in here at 1630. Dead jammy or what? Griff 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 had many drinks with friends in pub gardens. Mags was there bitter-sweet as no Boycee (Alan) but caught up with Rod n Shirley, Col n Lou. A really good afternoon / evening, felt like being in the Med Wednesday 05th sailed at 1000 ish It’s proper hot. We need air conditioning. I have everything down, all screen doors, hatches & windows open Into Wetshed. Daughter and Grandson departed for home at 1330 We’ll miss em especially Charlie-Ray Robin onboard I have a fellow helmsman We’ll sail at 1545 for Stracey Arms. There is a lot of timber missing out of this ere shed The rivers are busy but not rammed. Ludham bridge was not chaotic but one had to be ‘one it’ I noticed the boats underway were not social distancing Griff 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Just pulled onto Irstead staithe ourselves, couldn’t believe it was empty! Although busy there were at least 3 wild moorings free so we we’re spoilt for choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Arrived at Stracey moorings for 1830. Had to get involved in team effort led by Dave as manxman had a slight leak. All ended well. Seven craft sailed at 0700 bound for Somerleyton. Breydon was lovely Griff 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Trust you are all safely moored at Somerlayton. Sadly we missed you passing through st olaves as we had to catch the train to Norwich at 10am from Haddiscoe stop and didn't return until we had collected our car at about 2pm, including shopping of course. Will keep an eye out for your return. Hope you all have a great time. Colin and Ruth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
