Spent the night on the boat after eating at the Yare pub at Brundall. Jenson was very good and stayed in her basket until we woke up. Slow start to the day. We went shopping for provisions at Sainsburys and then bought a two week licence from Brooms Boats where there was a dalmatian called Domino. Two weeks cost about £56.50 which is a lot cheaper than what we normally pay.
Just before two we set off on to the River Yare. It was sunny with clouds but there was quite a breeze blowing. The electrics were not working so no water!!
Headed towards Great Yarmouth.
We did a detour down Rockland Broad where we saw a grebe. We passed a British Sugar factory and a wind pump with sails in tact.
Decided to go up the Chet to Loddon for the night. Had a BBQ though the food was pretty charred. Walked in to Loddon where the bellringers were practicing. Had a drink at the Angel and then walked back on the bank. Boat was listing on our return! It is tidal here, unlike canals. Will need to be careful.
