... will try to take a motor cruiser through Thurne Mouth this weekend, and do battle with all the river cruisers racing in the Thurne Mouth Open Regatta.

SWMBO would retire with a good book and leave me too it! Why wont the hire yards fit torpeados to give us a clear passage through rag n sticks?

Hi John,

Where you heading for the weekend?

Should be out sunday/Monday and will keep an eye out for you.

[CaptainJoshie]

Hi Baitrunner

No where fixed in stone, at Summerlyton for tonight, was going to Oulton but that's full with the Seamaster meet we've been told. So maybe Waveney River Centre for Saturday then back round towards Cantley for Monday. Then off to Norwich way. Crossing back North near the end of the week.

A good long trip this time to shake down the boat for any problem, which at the moment, touch wood, seem to be few

[BroadScot]

Good to read you are getting back to full health John, Enjoy your time down South. If that houseboat left OBYS there would be a bit more space. That was why I gave it a miss the other week.

Hi John,

I have just been on the Oulton Broad webcam, there seems space on the wall at the Yacht Station and outside the Wherry Hotel it is empty, no boats at all.

Regards

Iain I know what you mean, however you can book a moorings

Hi

Did try to OBYS by phone, no space till after Monday. I don't fancy being up against the concrete wall with our bathing platform.

I phoned Beccles YS and we are now moored there for overnight, but it is going to be pretty tight as he has over 10 boats plus a large group of sailies coming in.

Tomorrow a wild mooring somewhere between here an Cantley.

But all the fun of boat, on a Bank Holidy.

Could be worse, we could be in the mayhem they call the Northern Bank Holiday Broads

John, Hi.

 

You could go moor on the  floating pontoon outside Hardley Mill or go just beyond Cantley and moor down Langley Dyke. There is usually room at the small staithe and it's very peaceful.

 

Have a great time! 

[CaptainJoshie]

Hi John and All

Now moored at Dutch Tea Gardens Oulton Dyke for the night, all ready booked the moorings for tomorrow at Cantley with the Redcutters. Though there is a load of BA moorings anyway!

Just been watching the powerboat racing on Oulton, via the webcam. Can't heard a thing at Dutch Tea Gardens
