We woke to a warm but overcast morning. I took Hamish for his morning stroll…
After another bacon and pancake breakfast we left our mooring and went under the bridge. This is a first! We didn’t go far as we’d heard it was very narrow so we turned around at the junction …
Back to the bridge again and on downriver …
We made a detour and moored at Barton Turf …
After a fill of water we motored across Barton Broad and moored at Irstead to take advantage of the new electric hook-up. All phones etc were charged up and it was free as someone had left money on there!
A couple of yachts came sailing past as we enjoyed our lunch …
We had a quick half-hour stop at Ludham Bridge before setting off for Thurne Dyke …
We’d no sooner moored when we spotted a large sail approaching and we quickly made our way to the main river to see the wherry Albion pass by …
We popped into the shop and then walked a mile to Glebe Farm where we’d arranged to meet Nick Wiggins to discuss him taking on the restoration of Crocus. Another mile walk back and both Hamish and I were shattered! Steve and Lisa appeared to hear all about our chat with Nick – it was them who’d suggested him.
