Default Boatward bound tomorrow !

Roll on tomorrow afternoon, Norfolk Broads here we come.

Weather isn't looking too promising so probably not going to have the lovely sunsets and sunrises.
Will enjoy it whatever the weather though, Dad coming with me this time

Cast off for a great time on the waterways Coolcat. I missed you this year in April due to not having a serviceable iPad, or EE phone coverage,(why are other networks ok, and EE so poor .

Hoping to see you next year, we are planning another week next April. Using Richardsons from Stalham. Happy sailing !!!

Fingers crossed for catching up next year

Funny you say that about EE but at Acle we get brilliant 4G coverage from EE and next to nothing from Vodaphone or O2.

Get to Wroxham however and its completely the opposite

Jeff, Just enjoyed watching your You Tube video taking us through Horning. Brought back lots of memories as this is where our family interest in boating started . Initially we had holidays in a riverside cottage with rowing boat and progressed to hiring a 36ft wooden cruiser (from Master Craft).

If you have not already tried it out Cockshoot Dyke/Broad that we pass on the right as you leave Horning is a good place to moor. There is a hide overlooking the broad where I am sure you could get some great shots with your photographic skills

Hi Mike,

I know it well.

The moorings at Cockshoot Dyke as you enter it from the Bure have all just been re done.

They were busy pile driving over the winter and they have made a nice job of it

I'll pop the link up for the Youtube videos from Wednesday on here.

Nothing special as the weather was not great so just done videos and never bothered taking any photos
