Beccles Yacht Station

Cruising from Beccles Yacht Station to Burgh St Peter for lunch at The Waveney Inn and then on to moor with a mud weight on a quiet part of Oulton Broad. I did some fishing and the family watched a video. Daniel called to say that he had been working at "The Jolly Abbot" in Abbotsley with his friend Steve and earned £14.50 plus tips!

I was awake at 7.00am on as the other boats started to move. Di managed to get to the yacht station laundry first this morning and we had breakfast whilst it was in the machine. The day started cool and dull but soon started hotting up later. Once we were ready, we cruised on to Burgh St Peter (The Waveney Inn) and just about managed to moor up and have our Sunday lunch at the Waveney Inn. We all had the roast which was good, but the meals were very expensive. I joined the family for a swim and hair wash afterwards, but Debbie was a bit weepy and did not like being teased.

Once we had finished, we had to move the boat as it was on the river front and so we decided to move on and try to moor at Oulton Broad, even though we knew it was the Gala Day. On entering the Broad, we could see that the private yachts were five-a-breast at the yacht station and so, after unsuccessfully looking for a mooring, we went off to the north-west corner of Oulton Broad and dropped the mud-weight in open water. It was getting quite late and so we stayed on to the boat for the evening and the girls watched "Carry on Abroad" on video as I settled down to a couple of hours fishing. It got cooler again later and we needed the canopy up. Daniel called to say that he had been working at "The Jolly Abbot" in Abbotsley with his friend Steve and we were pleased to hear that he is trying to earn some money. He gets £14.50 plus tips.
