Hi Martin I do seem to recall it being narrow up Tylers Cut, but worth the effort! Good idea about the PTT radios, have just got myself some, the idea is the apprentice will once we have departed, trickle up Breydon, turnaround and come back down gently (I know against the tide, but would rather he turned around with plenty of room, rather than head further upstream sounds like I am paranoid - but its my name on the hire agreement!) and we should be able to meet up somewhere near the top. If this doesnt work, next plan would be to moor at Berney. and take a sail down into Breydon (weather permitting again). Not the end of the world if it doesn't come off, just being afloat again is the main thing and has been mentioned elsewhere not to have to many plans, just go with it. Be good to catch up somewhere during the week - although you may think other wise once catch sight of our rabble... Rob

Hi All for the advice, trip to Southern Rivers is planned for first part of the week, I had thought much the same about slack water times at the end of the week! reasons for this are twofold, 1 Haven't been up the Waveney for a good few years, really looking forward to getting up beyond Beccles, it was always so quite and tranquil above the bridge. 2 in more years of boating on and off both motor cruisers and yachts I have never actually sailed on Breydon water, so my apprentice Skipper will have the cruiser controls after Breydon Bridge and I intend to sail up Breydon (weather permitting) second part of the week, up the Ant maybe, and possibly up to Dilham where I am assured the pub does good food, I like the contrasts of Lower Bure/Breydon to the ends of navigation. Last night I was thinking about Womack Dyke, second mooring on the left as you turn in, but if there are going to be others in Womack Water we may well head there, as you rightly say its the perfect spot for Sat and getting up to the yard sharp. Am hoping we can get the boat early (HW seemed to think this would be OK) as it means we could get a good amount of time on Saturday - well at least be well away from Potter for the night.....Maybe Fleet Dyke for first night..

Hi - We are on Carribean Light 1 for a week from 31/03/12, any one else around then? Also hope to be able to give a fair review on our return. We should be on both north and south rivers, as tides look good for Great Yarmouth. We should be easy to spot, as we should with luck have 2 sailing dinghy's tacked on the back (Depends on HW's availability!) Have hired from HW before, but a long time ago, so hope they are still up to it. Only 19 days to go, still feel like a kid when looking forward to a holiday afloat!

Hi all, Rob from deepest England. (a little west of Milton Keynes!) Have been on the Broads on and off for over 35 years, love the place, so does my parents, to the extent they moved there. Have tried allsorts, budget boating, more luxury, sailing. Have got week up to Easter booked on Carriben Light from HW at Potter, looks like they keep growing! Cant wait to be afloat again, have even managed a week with decent slack water times at GY, so a trip up the Waveney to Geldeston on the cards, + if I can, forfill I lifelong ambition of actually sailing on Bradon Water (Wather permitting!) 24 days and counting even better if boat not been out week before, may get her early.
