Pilot told me, If you know it will fit. Stand in the middle and go straight through. Two things help. Knowing it will fit and confidence. then he took us straight through.

Welcome from me too. Hope all goes well and that you have a great time.

Loved the Dragons.

welcome from me too

Great to hear. Welcome onboard.

Welcome from me too. all that is needed is a little consideration from people and we all get along fine. We managed to get through PH bridge a couple of weeks ago and loved it.

welcome from me as well

welcome from me too

I looked carefully at the Photos before posting, no one is in sight and I could not see any indentifier on the boat. People need to be aware of the dangers. Happy for others to have different opinions to me, I would even fight for your right, but I don't need to agree with you K.

Seen it a few times over the last two weeks.

Passed this between Brammerton and Surlingham last Sunday. First chance to post.

Sitting on Swallow now, the sun is out and it looks like it is going to be a lovely day. Wave if you see us. Return the boat on Friday morning.

I would have gone, but we will have just spent two weeks on the Broads so I would be pushing my luck.

Still using Safari and Crome. Will take me years to get over the mistrust of MS internet explorer.

Lovely Photos Alan, enjoying the tale. The walk through the nature reserve is excellent.

Same from me too.

I like Swallow from Maffetts. Lovely little boat for two.

According to other posts I found it was Aston Broadsword. At 6ft 3inches airdraft it is a good one for the bridge, not too wide either. Handles well.

Just had some time out in a stinky and I must say the Sailies were excellent. More than ever before gave clear hand signals (of the pleasant, constructive nature) showing me where they wanted me to go. It really helps. For those that don't I find watching them as they get closer, unless there is an obvious change in river direction or wind they usually follow the same pattern. This allows me to anticipate where they will be so that I can do my best to not be where they want to be.......simples. Just occasionally this does not work and plan B is needed.......panic!

Just spent six days on Sweet Freedom. Service was excellent. Boat very good with fuel. Freedom Yard to Burgh Castle, Womack, Potters, Under the bridge and all round, back under the Bridge next day, Womack (Lunham Butcher excellent), Acle, Reedham, Bargate Broad, Brundall Gardens 24hr, Brammerton, Freedom Yard. All this for 27 litres using the tides.

Duet 2 looks off now, seen near Cantly.

You seem to have had your fair share. Last year we hired from Maffetts for two weeks and planned to spend the first week up north. We came back from there two days earlier than planned due to the number of craft around and the fact that it was very windy. We got bumped several times when moored, not all hired craft either. When the wind gusts it can catch out the experienced as well. This year we hope to have a trip above Potters for the first week and then back down south. I am always getting over taken now a days.

Under the keyboard of course.

I think it is alcohol related.
