Thanks for all replys. Have been on the Broads hundreds of times mainly when i was younger so didn't needto worry about tides. Have been a few times with my husband and kids but never crossed Breydon Water, normally do North side of the broads which we love. Love Royalls boatyard never had problem with any boat from them, always ready when we arrive, very clean, beds always made and a bottle of wine! What more could I ask for! Only daugther coming this year and she fancied seeing the South side. Not sure if I fancy getting up that early tough. I will be on holiday afterall! Will keep eveyone informed with what we decide to do.
