ExSurveyor Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Seen 14 or 15 of these beautiful boats being rowed up The Yare today. Apparently they are heading to Norwich, mostly crewed by older ladies and all on visitors tolls. They have more energy than I have 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was a French invasion fleet!!! about 2:30 there were 3 or 4 going towards bramerton and 1 already at bramerton having a picnic. Gave us a nice wave as well. They were not taking it easy either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Sorry was busy driving. I'm sure someone will catch them on digital data media tomorrow. Film was so much easier to say The boat moored at bramerton was an immaculate wooden beauty. I've got a plastic fantastic and even I was impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessan Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 We saw them last Monday, exiting Thurne Dyke around 2.30pm - I wonder where they had been?.......... One or two of the boats were wandering about a bit! A nice sight though, they were having fun and it was good to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Saw just one leaving Oulton Broad this morning, tide against them! Perhaps being from Holland and being used to tideless canals the crew didn't factor in the tides. However, hats off to them, at least they are doing it, yours truly only ever thinks about it!

SteveO Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 All looks very innocent, but this is just how Admiral De Ruyter's 1667 raid on the Medway started. I shall be on my guard. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I understand they are over here for the next four weeks or so, after all, being Dutch they have nothing better to do ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
