Because of the dredging programme some years ago, straying outside the markers is remarkably safe, avoid the area near the island (or remains of) though. Can't see my boat in your picture but was amongst the many boats moored up
Could we simply end this thread and start a new one called "NBF update" so for those in the know can update the latest situation or those wanting to know - can find out what's happening. Otherwise the content of this forum starts to resemble the content of another forum when it gets heated. It simply get boring basically
Thank you
What's 10 foot!!!! If you hadn't have got stuck for 30 minutes you might have beaten the wind drop?
For anyone interested there are more photos in my photo sets of the evening when the sky was blue and early morning.........as the fog disappeared
Think it was a good job they moved the location of the mark at Ludham this year (and South Walsham) - might have been fun otherwise
Some photos of Raisena are in this batch taken at Stokesby titled grey sky!

It was great seeing her come along the river - think Raisena entering was the highlight of the race. I kept in touch by text with my daughters that are usually around for the race and I kept mentioning Raisena. Being not Broads born and bred they didn't know what I meant but I just mentioned 60foot mast, search the internet and they then realised what I was going on about. Then all I got was when are you going to load the photos..........

Simply superb!
Love the reference to wanting a Herbert Woods woodie although the one I am thinking of isn't on Santas list - it would be great if he paid for the upkeep!

Thanks for the update
We went on a Shannon holiday in 1965 which can only be described as 'an experience' - the following winter my father bought a Broads cruiser which I now care for!

I sent a PM to pks1702 hoping for a PM response
In 1965 6 x H Woods were sent to Ireland to a boatyard owned by Ted Barrett
To my knowledge all four Delights are still floating - any photos in any condition wanted
