Sadly we are home in Kent. Didn't manage to get up.there for easter. Although I'm kinda glad as Orca doesnt like wind and would be a bit stuck. Hope it doesn't affect yours etc others holidays too much. cheers

I'd definitely get tucked in somewhere sheltered because it looks like another bucket of poop is on its way for lunchtime. 

Was bad enough I the house last night. Would definitely not have wanted to be afloat. 

Good luck.

Up the Ant in the wind ... let us know how you get on. I've always found that to be a challenge when turning in off the Bure in a strong breeze. Hope you don't have to hold at Ludham Bridge.

Looking on the webcam at Wroxham there doesn't seem to be any boats on the move or any dayboats out and about yet.

This has to be the worse weather I've ever experienced on a boat on the broads the wind the swell the water and pump out tanks swashing side to side did anyone else have trouble or just me

Where were you moored?

If on the open river, then yes, I would imagine  it would not be very pleasant at all.

We have crossed Hickling in a force 8, that was interesting, but Breydon is a lot longer and can whip up some big waves, if wind over tide and all that...

I wonder if Spirit of Breydon is on duty today, after all, this is the main reason it was bought.

Having committed to Breydon, I wouldn't like to do a turn around on it, safer to continue I would have thought, well at least in our boat.

We went to Hunters, but wished we had gone for the island, would have been more sheltered, definitely... I didn't feel great leaving the boat on it's mooring at Potter, but I guess it has sat through worse... Just feels as though the mast will come down!  It's a lot taller than our little Prelude!!  The Hunters yachts are so low and beamy, they hardly move, but our Pegasus was heeling on its mooring!

I believe Spirit of Breydon was on the hard standing at Thorpe yesterday..........

It's still better than being at home Iain we will be on the move again at 2ish heading for salhouse or even horning staithe if there is room and we'll take the kids to biWILDerwood 

I am probably a bit late but BeWilderwood has closed for the day.
