The moorings at the Abbey are perfect for dogs and Hamish knew exactly where he was and that he would be going for a run!
I walked back via the river as there were a number of swans waiting to be photographed …
We were heading for the Ferry Inn at Stokesby for lunch and Mike rang to book a mooring as we’d done a couple of years ago. Unfortunately they no longer take bookings and we had to take pot luck. We passed a few yachts both traditional and more modern …
and were very lucky as there was a space right outside the pub …
I just loved this statue which was outside the door …
I couldn’t agree more!! We had a lovely meal and then it was back to the boat and off to Potter Heigham. We went up to Womack Water passing the Hunter yard where all their yachts were ready for a winter lay-up …
and we saw Bure Classic on her way back to Colin Buttifant’s yard …
After a quick stop to fill with water we were soon on our way again hoping to find a mooring on the river near the bridge. As we approached it soon became obvious that they were all taken so we went into Herbert Woods yard and stopped there. Mike rang the Pilot to see if there was a chance of getting under the bridge in the morning at low tide but he said nothing was getting through unless it was a day-boat! We’d arranged with Jamie and Phill to meet up and take them above the bridge so when they arrived we decided that we’d hire a day-boat in the morning, take a picnic and spend the day visiting Hickling and Horsey. They were booked into a Travelodge at Acle and were off into Norwich for the evening. I tried out the shower on the boat and it was fantastic! It is definitely the best one that we’ve ever had …
