No bright blue skies this morning just a glimpse of it amongst the clouds. A few locals came to see us hoping for breakfast and of course I gave them some!
We left Cockshoot and in no time at all had arrived at Ferry Marina as it was pump-out day ...
It's always recommended that you have a pump-out halfway through your week and it's a very straightforward procedure costing about £10. Off on our travels again and as we passed the Ferry Inn it was lovely to see it open for business again ...
We motored on to Wroxham as we needed a top-up of food from Roys but our usual mooring basin was full of cruisers and there was no room for even our little Capri. I'd spotted a gap on the Barnes Brinkcraft yard when we came up and so we headed back away from the town and luckily the space was still free ...
Our original plan had been to go under Wroxham bridge and moor there before going on to Coltishall for the night. However nothing was getting under any bridges this week as the rivers were high and so we'd abandoned the idea but still needed to moor somewhere to shop. I popped into Reception and asked if it was okay to stay for an hour and the girl on the desk said it was fine. With the cupboards and fridge re-stocked we left Wroxham behind passing a heron in a garden ...
and a lovely new boathouse ...
We went into Wroxham Broad just to have a look not stay ...
past the Clubhouse ...
and around a yacht called Silver Arrow which we'd hired in 1974 ...
We had taken a group of boys for a week's sailing - Mike taught at a boarding school and ran the Naval Section of the CCF ...
We left the Broad and went outside to the free moorings for lunch. A wherry came past ...
and the Queen of the Broads ...
It was soon time to move on down to our chosen spot for the night - Salhouse Broad ...
