After a good and quiet night at Ranworth, and a good circular walk with Sam, some nice bacon rolls for breakfast before I took both Della and Michelle out in The Jolly to go fishing.
Then the cruise to Stokesby where we managed to get a good mooring space convenient for the children to play on the village green and I bought a fine crab and some cockles for tea.
The long cruise down to Great Yarmouth Marina; cruising with the strong tidal flow to arrive there well before dusk.
It was a good and quiet night at Ranworth, moored next but one to The Albion. Diana was up first washing and dressing and then she made me a cup of tea and I went through the same routine.

I then walked Sam a way round the broad-side walk and back down the village road as a circular walk; giving him a run across a stubble field on the way. He did not do very well and bumped a cock pheasant in the process but his obedience was good.
Once back, I persuaded Diana to get some bacon and she fried it to make some nice bacon rolls. Then we looked around the four wherries again before I took both Della and Michelle out in The Jolly to go fishing. It was the first time that Michelle had been fishing and she enjoyed it; catching her first three fish in the process.
Then we set off back down Ranworth Dyke and turned downstream on the River Bure and cruised on to Stokesby. We were fortunate to get a good mooring space convenient for the children to play on the village green and Diana and I to go shopping.
I bought a fine crab and some cockles for tea. Then the long journey down to Great Yarmouth Marina; cruising with the strong tidal flow to arrive there well before dusk. I managed to make a few telephone calls and fixed up some training and shooting with Jimmy for Monday and also spoke to Wiggly on the eve of her move. We were sad that I could not be there or help or even visit until after Monday but she seems to be managing with difficulty.
