Hi Ratman, agreed, as mentioned in a previous comment, we did advise about their mooring blocking the cut. Unfortunately, we were not in a position to police this further. We found it interesting that a BA Ranger passed and also saw this without any further action. In our opinion, we don't think this was done deliberately to cause inconvenience to others, but you are right; not good Broads etiquette!

Hi Ratman, thanks for your comment. So it's official then? Reedham are now charging for overnight mooring, is that correct? If so, is there a charge for day mooring? Many thanks

Thanks so much for your comment and kind words, it's really appreciated. Have to say, we've also just checked out your video in Portugal, seemed like a great boating holiday!

Thank you! Glad you checked out my video of Alqueva. It was a great holiday, very different from the broads. I need a lot of practice before I’m anywhere near as good at filming as you guys !!!

Thanks for your comment; sadly, we do not seem to have any control over the adverts that sometimes run before our videos start or even in the middle. Neither of us are very tech-savvy, so do not get why some videos have adverts and others don't. If it's any consolation, we often feel the same as you, especially when watching other CZcams channels. Sometimes a 'skip' button appears whereby you can skip the adverts in question.

@@twomenandaboat8681 I have added an ad blocker, things are much better now.

Hi Roland! We hope you have a cracking time on Tempo, fingers crossed you get some nice weather!

Hi Val! Thanks for your comment as always and we hope you are both keeping well. Our favourite place on the Southern Broads... that's a tricky one! It's hard to narrow it down to just one, but some of our absolute favourites would have to be: Hardley Mill, Ferry House Surlingham, Coldham Hall and Reedham. But I think there are so many nice places on the South Rivers. Take care!

Hi Stuart, yes on that day in particular, there was a four car pile-up on the A1 involving both carriages! So that was a nightmare journey. Thankfully, it's never been as bad as that since. Normally takes us around 7.5 hours on average; which I still find quite painful, but worth it. Take care

Hi Eddie! We hope you're keeping well. Many thanks for your kind words and support, it's appreciated. We always have the blues on our last evening at Oldham Hall, as it's sad to leave such a beautiful place. However, we will be back in the future to do it all again! Take care

Hi Graham! Many thanks for your comment and kind words, we hope you have a cracking time in July (fingers crossed for some nice weather). We have been to Loddon on numerous occasions (but this was before we started making videos). We do have a couple of videos on our channel where we cruise up the Chet towards Loddon and moored at Pye's Mill for the evening. So please make sure you check out our: May 2023 Day 1 and Day 2 videos for some nice footage of cruising up The Chet. In the future, I'm sure we will get some footage of a nice walk that we like to do around Loddon. We agree, it's a lovely spot. Unfortunately, we few years ago, we didn't have a great experience when we moored at the Staithe (ourselves and another boat decided to leave the moorings early due to some anti-social behaviour), so now we do prefer to stay at Pye's Mill, which is a little further out and more peaceful. Take care!

Hi Paul - many thanks for your comment and kind words, it's most appreciated. We hope you're enjoying the series so far. Take care

Hi Balt! That's really interesting to hear, is that the University Royal Navy Unit? (Just to make sure I've got the acronym correct). If so, wish him all the very best, I'm assuming he's thinking of joining the Royal Navy? Hope he has some great weather too! Take care

Thanks for letting us know exactly where the path at Church Fen leads, it's something that we were always curious about. It's also nice to know that it does lead up to The Ram, as we pass that pub on our way to pick the boat up. Sounds like it's also a nice place to moor up to stock up on a few bits. Take care

Hi Stuart! Hope you're keeping well and thanks for the comment. Hope you enjoyed your evening at Somerleyton, it's a lovely spot. How's the weather and River Heights down The Broads at the moment? Would be curious to hear, as we've heard of some high River Levels this season. Take care

@@twomenandaboat8681 Hi there, yes i'm great thanks hope your well too. It was a great night thanks, the winter months were high levels and a lot of flooding but that weekend and still now its seems back to normal. Now the weather is getting better i hope to do a few more videos.

I'll also say i just noticed i wasn't subscribed to you anymore ? i never done that.... I've seen a few people i follow say that has happened latterly must be a CZcams thing.

I've also had that happen with my business channel czcams.com/channels/2X0S5i4DZrqbq7n2k47fYw.html

Hi Alasdair, thanks for your comment. Unsurprisingly, we were anticipating a comment related to this, even before we posted this episode. As you can see, when we arrived back from our walk around Norwich, we were the only ones moored at Commissioner's Cut. At around dusk, a second boat moored opposite us, blocking the Cut, as you can see in the video. We did kindly advise them that they should moor further down the cut to avoid blocking the entrance (as per Broads etiquette). However, as you can understand, we have no control over what others decide to do. Surprisingly, if you look at the video at the 34:14 mark, you will actually see a BA Ranger passing, who saw this but didn't act. We felt rather uncomfortable ourselves with the whole situation, but there was little more that we could do, other than advise! However, in our personal opinion, we do not think this was a deliberate attempt by them to block the cut. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi Roland, many thanks for your reply and support as always. We hope you are enjoying the series so far. Take care

Thanks for your comment Alison, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. We couldn't believe how lucky we were with the weather this series, it certainly makes a difference! Take care

Hi Bruce! Many thanks for your comment and kind words, it's appreciated. We've got a new adventure/experience planned this Summer, which is something a little bit different. But we are hoping to be back on The Broads soon. Take care!

Hello Balt! Thanks again for your kind words and comments, we appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video. Take care

We've noticed some boats that have been moored there for some time. We keep getting mixed messages re: the moorings at Whitlingham. From our understanding, you can moor there during the day, to visit the Nature Reserve, but not overnight or long term. Not sure if you've heard any different?

Hi Deborah, thanks for your comment as always we we hope you really enjoy your visit in June (and the weather is kind to you) - let us know how it goes!

Hi WaggiesCruising, thanks for your support

Hi Waggies Cruising! Thanks so much for your kind words it's really appreciated. There really have been some very high tides last season (and we believe currently) on The Broads. We hope you are both still enjoying your adventures on Nauti Rascal. Take care!

Hi Russel, this was filmed during the 1st week of July '23. We were very surprised how quiet The Broads were, especially the Northern Broads during that trip; not quite sure why that was!

@@twomenandaboat8681 great thank you. I’ll be heading back there in late July this year but suspect it may be busier than your time there due to the schools being out. I enjoyed your videos, keep it up !

Hi, thanks for your comment! .. and what a small world it is! Yes we are from Newcastle! Would be really interested to know whether you were visiting The Broads on holiday or whether you've relocated? When we first watched our video back, during the edit, we did notice you both on the bridge at the time with the dogs! So it's even nicer that you've seen this and commented. Take care!

@twomenandaboat8681 we go alot every year, I'm originally from Wallsend but live in Durham now, we are on the broads for Easter weekend then back end of April, July and September. Yes that's us with the 2 hairy beast's, Really good video, and one place we have never stopped at is South Walsham but definitely going to after your video, shame on me I've been going for over 40 years now

Hi lovelifeloveboat! Thanks for such kind words that you have posted on our channel, it's really appreciated; especially with such great content that you are producing as well, so thanks. We both work pretty full-on during the year, so we always like to treat ourselves when we do visit The Broads and we are lucky enough to be able to hire a beautiful cruiser when we do visit. We agree, that The Broads is all about taking your time and soaking in the experience and beauty! You never know, we might cross paths in the future on the rivers. Take care!

Hi Keith, thanks again for your comment. We love the Southern Broads, it's often a much overlooked part of The Broads in general. Some lovely locations to visit and so peaceful. It sounds like you used to visit The Broads? Did you ever hire a boat?

@@twomenandaboat8681 we had many trips on the broads we used to have two holidays a year on boats ,one early and the other late in the year the broads are so different depending when you are on them. It’s good to have people sharing their trips now, keep it up. Thanks

If only we had the money - Also loving TMAAB , probably the best cruiser channel around at the moment!

Hi Deborah, we totally agree, Northumberland is a vast and beautiful County; not too far from where we live, so feel quite lucky! Take care

Hi Keithe, thanks for your comment, we are pleased that you enjoyed the mini tour of Beccles; every time we go, we always find somewhere different to explore. It's a lovely place. Take care

Hi Eddie! Hope this message finds you well and thanks as always for your really kind words, it means a lot. Hardley Mill has quickly become a favourite mooring of ours and we hope to return sometime. Take care!

Hi Roland, yes we have been under the bridge at St Olaves on quite a few occasions but only when the tide is permitting. I believe we have filmed going under the bridge on one of our videos! Take care

Hi Baltvdb, hope you're doing well. Thanks for the kind words, that means a lot. Yes, we couldn't believe how lucky we were with the weather and just couldn't stop looking at that beautiful sunset; such a peaceful mooring. It was a bit a gamble with it being our longest video, but we are glad you enjoyed it. Take care

As always, thank you Deborah, we hope you are keeping well!

Hi Chris, as always, thanks for your comment, support and kind words! It was the first time we've managed to get moored at Hardley Mill, and we absolutely loved it. I bet mooring there in November would be have been lovely. Will definitely be back there in the future. Hopefully we will be able to experience Hardley Mill again on Enya one day! We both wanted to wish you many congratulations on winning your recent award! It is well deserved!

@@twomenandaboat8681 Thank you both🙏🏼 and it’ll be great to welcome you both back on board Enya. I’m very excited to get her here next week when she’s delivered from the Haines Factory 🤩 I’ll send you some pictures! All the best

Thanks Chris! She looks stunning @@user-yb5tz4nt6e

Hi Helen, thanks for your comment and for the info provided; that's something we will definitely take on board for the future! Take care

Hi Susan! We agree, the sunset was magical that evening. It really is beautiful mooring and the back-drop of The Mill really sets it off. We agree, The Broads are a magical place. Take care!

Hi Gavin, thanks for your comment; the weather was definitely on our side that day (and was definitely a big contrast to our July visit). We hope you enjoyed the video. Take care!

Hello Baltvdb, it should be uploading and visible on 4K now. We would be grateful if you could let us know what resolution you are able to see it in currently? We can have a look into this if you're still not seeing in 4K; please do let us know. Take care

Lovely 4K now@@twomenandaboat8681

Absolutely brilliant love your blogs 17 weeks to are holiday 2 weeks can't wait

@@rolandgoudie-bennett6330 Hi Roland, thanks for the kind words, we are so pleased that you enjoy our videos. 17 weeks will fly by I'm sure! Wishing you the best time on your 2 week break! Assuming you are heading to The Broads? Take care

Hi Mark! Thanks for your comment. We use a GoPro 9 and a DJI Pocket 2 as our main boat/walk-about cameras and the drone we use is the DJI Mini 2. Hope this helps and good luck with your channel!

@@twomenandaboat8681 many thanks. Great vids.

Hi Alasdair, thanks for your comment. We only discovered the walk from Reedham to the Ferry Inn by chance! It's certainly a nice little walk but you're right, the weather did change dramatically when we got back. It must be quite an epic trek down from Scotland to The Broads! We've just come back from Edinburgh ourselves - which is a beautiful City. Take care and hope you enjoy the videos
