SwanR Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 That's good news with the school holidays fast approaching. The yacht station has certainly been looking busier over the last few days. Jean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Good news for those who require stern on moored to the pontoon if disabled. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Probably sunk, that's why you can't see it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 She has been towed back to her mooring on the Broad. The historic terms and conditions regard the houseboats on Oulton Broad are that they are removed from the Broad during the winter and stored at the Yacht Station. Don't know why though although I'd guess that it was to do with shooting rights during the winter. The houseboats are supposed to be back on their moorings by Easter.

Hockham Admiral Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I know that the Yacht Station team look after all the bouys, but do they get the annual tolls for the moorings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I was informed by a very good source that the houseboat's mooring was having something done to it as it wasn't secure? That's why it had been there that long. Unless someone knows different of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Bill that Was my understanding as well. Apparently it broke free from its mooring. I drove past earlier (lovely few days at Potters!) and no sign of the previously sunk boat either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hello Matt Both of us have got good informants then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The sunken boat has gone! The geese are back, bird food sales are on the up. I too had heard that the h/b's mooring was damaged but surely there was no excuse for taking so long to repair it. John, the council mooring income, sorry, don't know its eventual recipient. The sunken boat was lifted and then towed through Mutford Lock to Lake Lothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
