A beautiful sunny start to the day ...
and after turning the boat around so we could fill with water ...
we were ready to move off. Then when the roof was lowered Ozzie's food measuring plastic jug got blown into the water. Simon and Jamie worked together, managed to keep it afloat and hooked it up and back aboard ...
This was Simon and Vikki's last day on Neptune and so we made for Wroxham. As we approached
Barnes Brinkcraft we rang Pam and she got on to their new webcam and saw us as we passed!
We were waving frantically at the large bluey/green building and other people must have wondered what on earth we were up to! We were soon moored in the Loynes/Faircraft basin ...
and then it was time to 'hit' Roys! After a top up of food it was back to the boat for lunch and then Simon and Vikki got a taxi to Barton Turf to pick up their car. In no time at all they were back, loaded up and we were saying our farewells. We pulled out of the basin about 2.30pm and went to Wroxham Broad Island ...
Jamie has recently changed jobs and he had to take a conference call so we needed somewhere with a good signal which is not always easy to find on the Broads! All of a sudden, as we were just leaving, there was a bit of excitement on the river as a River Inspector was approaching with lights flashing ...
He went to some day boats which as we passed by we noticed one was dangerously full of people with no life jackets on and he was having strong words with them ...
Jamie wanted to moor at Horning Staithe overnight but when we arrived there was no room for us so went to Perci's Island which is just across the river and we kept watch just in case a boat departed. I can't believe how lucky we were as a large boat moved away and Jamie had us over there in a flash!
We took the dogs for a walk hoping to find a dog-friendly pub but were out of luck and they are even banned from the village green ...
Horning is where the Southern Comfort is based ...
The boys ended up sitting outside the Swan Inn and having a drink although they were unable to get on to the free wi-fi as they'd hoped!
