I have written a guide to passing through Yarmouth and crossing Breydon, written from the point of view of a yacht with no engine, It is on my website and a direct link is here. It contains stuff that would be of interest to those using an engine as well.
Many of you I will know from another place. I've finally got around to joining here. For those I don't know, I'm Robin. I'm a rag and stick type with a certain penchant for racing and am just as likely to be found offshore as on the Broads.
