After our night in Bursa Peter we did some washing, filled up with water and cruised upstream on the Waveney to get to Beccles in mid-afternoon, Daniel in his speedboat as I towed the little lady. We went shopping in this nice town and I bought Diana a painting from the Beccles artists exhibition and then we did some fishing. The news is of the rebel England cricket tour to South Africa and the fact that so many frontline players are involved. More Middle East kidnappings, in East Anglia, a helicopter crashes killing four soldiers and injuring others.
We awoke in Burgh St Peter (the Waveney Inn) after a good night sleep and we seemed none the worse for the high water levels overnight. Diana did her last washing load of three pairs of jeans, whilst I filled up The Lady with water and then we set off upstream on the Waveney to get to Beccles in mid-afternoon. Daniel ran into a River Inspector again – this time to challenge him not being registered for his speedboat – and so we bought a temporary permit for £7.84 which was very cheap. He drove it all the way whilst I towed the Little Lady.

In Beccles, we moored up to the river frontage instead of in the yacht station (by kind permission of the harbourmaster) and went shopping in the town which was good. Later, I played ball with Debbie, checked my answering machine and did some fishing and caught a whole host of small fish. The news is of the rebel England cricket tour to South Africa and the fact that so many frontline players are involved. Next, the Middle East kidnapping politics come to a head and, in East Anglia, a helicopter crashes killing four soldiers and injuring others. The weather became very nice today and I also bought Diana a painting from the Beccles artists exhibition – it had won the best watercolour award.
