Yes, #narrowboats have tillers. That means that anyone with any experience of boats can steer it with ease. Stand at the back. Push the tiller to the right and the stern moves to the right - and you can see it's going to the right. (Just like the trolleys you get at garden centres with fixed wheels at the front and casters at the back)Compare that with the cruiser you'll hire on the Norfolk Broads. Many of them have a single level cabin, no wheelhouse, no flybridge - there's bridges with 8ft clearance or less to get under. They'll have wheel steering in the saloon in the bows. That's when things get complicated!

For the last few days we've been at our son's #house, in the #NewForest #dogsitting while he's on holiday celebrating his partner's 60th birthday in #SanFrancisco and #lasvegas
This is the kind of #dog sitting I enjoy. The #instructions say there's no need to #walk them as the #garden is big enough for them to get all the #exercise they need.

On the #NorfolkBroads and #uk #canals running an engine (portable generator, outboard or inboard) on a mooring is banned.Under all normal circumstances I would certainly moan about an enforced 05:30 start.

I failed to find time to add a further update when we completed our cruise on Tuesday. From #Neatishead we passed The Ice House, one of the impressive #houses at #Irstead Shoals.
We moored at #HowHill where we spent an hour walking around the #gardens. We then proceeded to #LudhamBridge where we moored for the night, eating at The Dog where a couple of guys turned up and entertained us for half an hour. It was possibly the best impromptu #entertainment I've ever experienced. The photograph does not indicate how much #laughter there was and how we enjoyed #singing along.
We left our #mooring just before 06:45 as we needed to be back in #Stalham for a meeting at 10:00 and needed to pick up some stuff from home before that.

We followed this morning's #plan, starting by going to #Neatishead #Staithe and buying #provisions and having a #coffee and #Norfolk #shortcake at the #community #shop.
The #dyke narrows considerably as you near the staithe but what amazed us was seeing a #Muntjac deer on the return down #Limekiln #dyke

The plan this morning is to call at #Neatishead Staithe,walk into the #village and buy a few provisions at the #volunteer run #community #shop, then make our way back down #LimekilnDyke and down the #River Ant to #LudhamBridge where we'll overnight after an evening #meal at The Dog.
We'll have to be up early as it's a couple of hours back to our #mooring and we both have meetings in #Stalham at 10:00 on Tuesday.
As predicted, the wind has veered 180° since arrival here yesterday afternoon.

While the #Britsh #canals have much to recommend them, when you have the open spaces of the #Norfolk #Broads on your #doorstep it's hard to say which are best.
I like to think I can balance the various diffrrences fairly as we are lucky enough to have a small #canal #workers #cottage that fronts the #Bridgewater #Canal at #PrestonBrook where we plan to keep our #canoe after our house move.

Just realised! All the #dinghies on that Pontoon are #Yeoman (if not the drop keel variant the #kinsman
They used to be one of my favourite #halfdecker designs on the #Broads. Cheaper to maintain than the #traditional #wooden #classes found on the Broads, but I succumbed to the #SeaHawk which is a fabulous design for #solo #weekend #sailing

Having cruised down the #River Ant we reached #BartonBroad. We plan on staying here tonight with our #mudweight over the bow. Tomorrow morning we'll call at #Neatishead and buy a few #provisions at the #village #community #shop.

We've managed to #escape the #house and are #aboard our #boat Singing the Blues again.
No idea when we'll be back aboard again. The buyers of our house visited yesterday saying their buyer is hoping to move on 23 July - so there's lots to do, starting with #packing an over big house with too much not offered to #Freegle and too much to pack.
