  5. Hi everyone my name is Ian and my wife is Pauline. We got the bug for boating and the broads in 1991, we had our own boat at one point which we used to put on the Broads and are looking at getting another. We used to hire with Swancraft at Brundell but know hire from Norfolk Broads Direct brilliant company, just come back from a 10 day holiday there, met two great guys there you might know JawOrca while we where moored at Ranworth. Great people on the Broads.
