NorfolkNog Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Every one must have been on the Northern rivers as have never seen the Southern rivers so quiet. Goody, goody, back down there tomorrow night :-) That's why I love December 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Wet, dull rainy morning at Upton Staithe. Very nice drop of Humpty Dumpty Jubilee Mild in the White Horse though :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawsOrca Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 That's typical Howard! please do though it would good to have a beer! I'm really surprised how good the dukes head is! I didn't notice they had st peters either. I noticed they had both Adnams and Woodfordes which is good for me though I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks Alan and will do! I tend to go for the beer rather than the grub. I think the DH has had various reviews about the grub but I've always found the beer to be good. They usually have a good guest on from the likes of St Peters and Green Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Bit choppy in Reedham today. Had 'help' from a fellow boater who promptly grabbed a line and banged us into the quay. I wish people would ask before 'helping'. Me and Mrs Nog have been doing this for year or two now and have just about got the hang of it by now. Grrrrrrrrr....Sorry rant over 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Look at this in the Loddon Swan Little Sharpie, Trawlerboys and the ubiquitous Adnams. Little Sharpie is an incredible £2.60 per pint Might have to drop anchor here for a while. And it's Mrs Nog's round :-) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Peaceful in Loddon too Ducks busy eating Mrs Nog's corn Hi Howard,Did you speak to the couple that were in the metal hulled cruiser moored in your pictures.They have been waiting for weeks for the Mutford locks to be repaired so they can get to some temporary moorings on Lake Lothing prior to crossing the Channel.The B.A have given him leaway until the locks are repaired.RegardsAlan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hi Alan To be honest we didn't but thought it was an impressive craft. We are moored right at the other end of the Staithe but will have a closer look when Mrs Nog can drag me out of the Swan. Hope they can get the Locks fixed soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Alan Hi Alan, I sincerely hope the BA are using common sense in matters like that just now, cannot be easy for folks like that chapping at the bit wishing to move on. Howard on the other hand will be delighted to be stuck in the Swan! Iain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hi Iain,The chappie said the B.A. were being very fair, but bear in mind that we spoke to him now five weeks ago, at the time he was filling his time by doing all those jobs that you leave for sunny days. Another user of Danish Oil for his external woodwork.He told me of his plight as you do when moored next to somebody and you yourself are doing the odd maintenance job.The Broads Authority have given him dispensation because of his circumstances.As you said common sense used, after saying that I have thought the people in the tolls office do a very good job and are good at making suggestions to try and make the procedures easier for all concerned.RegardsAlan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 What a difference day makes! Alan's friends have departed so maybe the Lock has been fixed. Hope so. The moorings are rammed, we even had a massive Herbert Woods boat trying to squeeze in in front of us, we have a small gap at the side of us where the safety ladder is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
