Yes, he's my hero. I am his understudy, and stand in when he's unavailable. Got a long way to go to reach his level, I'm afraid. 

[BroadAmbition]

Well that was lucky. Got alongside the green at Horning. Malanka away as is Trixie. We are enroute to Salhouse but spied a big enough mooring so now in Staithe n Willow. It’s a tad warm. Looks like the big coat ain’t getting used again

Stopped at Salhouse to get Macie dog in off the beech. Whilst there I noticed in the distance towards neatished a large amount of smoke. Must have been a large fire. Now outside Kings head at Hoveton before moving on. Still proper hot

Just learnt from a passerby it was a field  on fire between Hoveton and Horning

What a lovely romantic spot 

best not go a knockin?

[BuffaloBill]

We were going to go up there last Friday but the weed looked really

bad and might clog the weed filter. What's it actually like?

[BroadAmbition]

Plenty of it on the surface at the Lock but normal before coming up the river. Fishing is rubbish though. Just been presented with a rum coffee and fresh cream scone. MrsG is smiling too. 

JBX5 - you may well come knocking, but not too late!

I doubt that BDSM has anything to do with BA underway!

[BroadAmbition]

Yet another cracking morning here at the Lock. Not a cloud in the sky. We actually had the tv out for a dvd last night. First time in eight days. Sailing shortly for New Inn at Horning. MrsG having a lie in so Macie dog will have to do the ropes n fenders

The river from Coltishall to Wroxham was idyllic. Plenty of large shoals n large fish in locations noted for future reference. MrsG eventually made an appearance went for a shower whilst underway. She appeared in only a towel as we exited from under Wroxham Bridge. Perfect timing for the crowds on the bridge n hotel   

Onwards we proceeded, with canopy, screens and everything down we could muster, full sunshine mode. The river now was proper busy so much so I elected to scoot down Wroxham Broad to only see a flotilla of sailing craft

Griff

[BroadAmbition]

We passed through the flotilla of confusion as they normally carry on only to come up astern of a Wherry in full sail, passed them then four bends in t river caught up another one! They’re like busses today. Here we are arrived just after 1200 at the new inn JBx5 having sorted a spot for us. It’s so hot I swear the river is steaming. Had a Cromer salad for lunch. About to sail for the Ant. We were due Home today but have delayed that evolution till tomorrow

Am I allowed to be jealous 

Tales of clear water , big shoals and now at my faviroute pub on the North

Lovely food , playing pool in the warm sun , cool beer, meanwhile I'm away to cut the grass

[ChrisB]

Grass! Mine is all strawcolour and has given up. Picture from a week ago it is worse now.

[BroadAmbition]

Sailed for t Ant. At 1700 there was 8ft 8” at the Bridge. Now wild moored on the Stbd bank somewhere between Jonny Crowes Staithe n Irstead

Oh eck. I got up to do a spot of fishing to find the whole river with a film of that there Blue algae   There’s loads of it coming in on a gentle flood tide

Griff

 

[BroadAmbition]

Fishing and doing ok. This forenoon we go back to base clean through and I have some items to attend to before we depart for home
