Smoggy Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Gimme a wave as you pass reedham but do it quietly, I got beer and rum to snooze off, if you're running late you may see us at cantley, and if you've completely messed up your timing we'll be at surlingham by then. But I'll have money on still asleep at reedham. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 Cruised into New Mills pond at the Victorian pumping station on the Wensum head of navigation. Turned without touching river bed. Now alongside The Ribs of Beef pub for a couple. Gotta be done The Ba tide table lists three bridges - there are seven!

BroadAmbition Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 Far from good. Here we are alongside at Brammerton. I take Purdey out for her evening walk. In her excitement to get ashore she leapt over the transom. Thing with that is, we are side on berthed not stern on 😩 Had to haul her back onboard over the transom into the well deck which got me wet through - she’s rubbish at using the emergency ladders. It gets worse, instead of going ashore to have a shake, nope, straight into the wheelhouse. There’s oggin everywhere. She now looks somewhat embarrassed - and damp It’s gonna take me ages to dry everything off Griff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meantime Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 There is one hire boat and one syndicate boat at Oulton Broad yacht station. Nothing outside the Wherry.
