I too am lucky enough to live here and have my own boat on the Broads. Howeve, now being retired, we love to get away for some assured sunshine a couple of times each year. Any good weather we get in The Broads is counted as a bonus. I too can't see the point of just sitting on the beach/beside the pool reading a book. For me, travel is about seeing different things, experiencing different foods, cultures and wildlife. Looking forward to Sri Lanka in a couple of months, and (probably) France in the Summer. Life is like a cigarette - to be burned right down to the but!
