I have hired from Pacific Cruisers for many years and after the first couple never had a trial run. Richard always went through the boat in detail but waived the trial run. When we arrived in 2022 he apologised but stated we would have to have a full trial did to conditions imposed by his insurers. No problem to us. Similarly we had a trial run in 2023. They also insist on all crew wearing life jackets for the trial run. Back again in July this year when I am sure we will have a trial run again Ray

I see the EDP have it wrong again Their article shows a picture of the entrance to Bridgecraft not Horizon Ray

We had a trip round yesterday never seen the water levels so high in fifty years of visiting the broads Ray

Conway Bridge is in for its end of season maintenance See Bridgecraft Facebook page Ray

Just read Would recomend to all who love the broads Ray

My partner and I wish to do a river cruise next year that moors at Heidelberg. I have tried all the main operators but they seem to stop on the Rhine and coach you to Heidelberg. Any help would be appreciated Ray

I always slow down passing moored boats,kayaks and paddle boards You learn quickly on the canals not to speed If you do you you will soon get shouted at So it is natural for me to slow down

Certainly brings back memories Wonderful photograph
