  • A great vlog cruising and chatting and meeting people. It's a beautiful river. If you want to help me directly you can buy a coffee. That pays for fuel and food. Thankyou www.buymeacoff...

    Hi Will, single handed boating try this.
    When leaving a mooring and you want the front of the boat to swing out without pushing it out from the bank.
    Untie bow line and leave stern rope moored up.
    Put engine into reverse, tick over normally. The Bow will move out. Engine into neutral, untie stern rope. 👍🏼😎 works for me.

    Thanks Will.
    Another fantastic vlog. So many folks think the Fens are not the most beautiful place, especially in the Winter. You vlog shown that they are completely wrong!
    The engineering behind keeping them dry is incredible. That rich black peat soil is the best in the world and will grow absolutely anything.
    That derelict house is typical of so many that have started to lean, because draining the land has caused it to shrink. So houses by the rivers and ‘drains’ start to fall over, over time.
    You may remember I mentioned a chap called Alan Bloom, who reclaimed Priory Farm, Burwell, during the war, beside Burwell Lode and against Wicken Fen. He eventually settled t a place called Bressingham, which is on the water shead between the Little Ouse and the River Waveney. He stated his Gardening empire, Bloom’s Nurseries, Bressingham Gardens and Bressingham Steam railways there.
    Keep up the good vlogs Will,
    Regards
    Richard.

    nice little cruise , down norfolk some people call fibreglass boats , tupperware tubs lol , we always prefer wild mooring when we go down to norfolk , more peaceful , but it's a rarity these days to find a spot that does'nt say , Private Mooring Keep Out .

    Always tricky wild mooring as you don’t know what your stepping of onto sometimes, my X always managed to find out the hard way 😂😂😂 once she just disappeared and when she came back up she was a drowned, covered in black mud rat 😂😂😂😂😂, I did incidentally tell her to wait till I put the gangplank out but hay ho! Twisted ankles and other injuries can abound. Have not been down there in ages, amazing to see how much more degraded that old house is, must go down and do some photo’s of it, with the right sky that would make a great black & white photo. Remember the first time I went down there nearly had a coronary when what I thought was an eagle at the time but now know was a red kite flew over my head a few feet up that had me ducking down and squeaking, they are quite big when up that close, 6 foot wingspan.

My other half had the typical female dirty laugh as you left the mooring after you had dinner when the front of you boat was struggling to leave the bank, she expected you to say the front end was being sucked off by the bank ! Typical perverted female mind, ( I had to google what she meant ) . Take care stay safe
