Hi all, Many thanks for the further replies. Few weeks to go, hopefully the weather will change for the better. One of our trips was August 2012 and we had a heatwave with temperatures high 80s nearly all week. If you're lucky with the weather there really is no better place in the world than a week aboard a boat on the broads!

Many thanks to all who replied, a very warm welcome, much appreciated. We generally visit Norfolk a couple of times a year, once maybe staying in a hotel and the other time on a boat for the week in summer. Favourite part of England is Norfolk, we came 2 weeks ago and hired dayboats from Potter upto Hicking and then next day from Hoveton upto Belaugh. I have been viewing this forum for quite sometime but never joined due to joining another Norfolk broads forum a few years ago where I posted a comment and got a couple of abrupt replies. Thanks once again, I will stay with this and keep posting. Al.

Hi there, hello to everyone, my first post on here, new to this forum but not new to the broads, but need help with this: I am hiring a boat with a 6ft 9' airdraft later this year. Due to the unfavourable tide times I have to make my passage northwards with a slackwater time at Yarmouth of 500am or 530pm. My question to you people is how many hours after slackwater will I safely pass under Vauxhall bridge? Will it still be safe to pass through at 730am or am I taking to much of a risk? Sorry if this has been raised before but I cannot see a post that is quiet relevant to mine. Thankyou for your comments, Al.
