It is very easy to forget that businesses struggle with lack of trade when we are out enjoying the Broads and having them all to ourselves. Hopefully we will have a lovely warm and dry summer and plenty of visitors spending their money and enjoying the area.

A few photos from Womack Dyke and a video going under the Acle Bridge yesterday CC9J7238 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr CC9J7353-Edit by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr CC9J7230 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr CC9J7300 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr

Not sure why owning or hiring a boat makes you any more or less a lover of the Broads? I for one enjoy seeing members pictures on here, either their own boat or ones they are hiring. Does seem a bit of a shame to dampen the mood of this thread. Obviously the OP and his wife are very happy with their new boat and I for one wish them many happy hours on board and enjoying the Broads.

Silly season will soon be upon us

Looks very nice indeed. Will be sure to say hello as we are at Acle Marina as well.

You and me both. F15E0F1C-24CE-44A2-A6FB-4D3AE26E3C53 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr I wish them all the best for the future .

Our boat was feeling very lonely IMG_5351 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr

After all that wind and rain last week it was nice to take the boat out this afternoon. Don't know how it happened but I seem to have ended up moored at the Bridge Inn for the night by way of a change IMG_5315 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr

The Bridge Inn is open all year round for food

Sincere condolences from Ros and myself.

I stay on my boat two days a week as I work up in Norfolk and it saves a 190 mile round trip to home. I need a good mobile signal on board so I can send my days work back to the office. Also, I like to unwind after a day at work by enjoying a spot of TV on board........Different strokes for different folks and all that P.s. EE works fine for me at Acle .

Just done a screen grab from my GoPro video of Lady Emma emerging from under Breydon Bridge. Ian Stewart at the helm. Me out on deck with the camera. Screenshot 2019-02-14 at 18.00.51 by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr

I owe you a kiss.....as it's Valentines day and all that

I can take it.....Up, down, or shaken all around

Anyhow.......Due to the nature of this forum, I couldn't correct the mistake on the title heading after someone had posted on thread... So, upstream and downstream shall now remain back to front

No................that isn't a punt, that is extreme punting

Well I took a punt on it.............and won

When the poles shift on the earths axis it might happen

It felt like up at silly am

Couldn't have asked for a nicer day. I'm back at home now but will be up again Monday/Tuesday. Need to get a pump out and a bit of fuel. I feel an overnight mooring at the Bridge Inn is on the cards

Had a great morning Tuesday out on Lady Emma with Ian Stewart crewing with me. A mix of a few photos and videos from the day. Leaving Acle Marina at 07.00hrs to arrive at Great Yarmouth for low water. A bit further up the Bure approaching Stokesby. Lady Emma by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr Lady Emma by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr Moored up for dropping Nav Lights and a quick brew before arriving at Great Yarmouth. Lady Emma by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr Return run over Breydon Water. Plenty of clearance but did drop the aerials and Navigation Mast . Had about 12" clearance above the radar dome under the Yarmouth bridges.

Sounds idyllic Griff

A 'bit' even
