Gracie Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I've just been looking at the web cams while having my morning coffee, it's very damp and misty at the moment, I just love that first thing in the morning before it even gets light, seeing the mist over the water, sitting with a coffee waiting for the day to break. I also love dusk when everything starts to quieten down and if there's been good sunshine during the day watching that sunset. I seem to have no problem getting the children up on a boat either Apart from all of the time, is there a special time of day for you guys? x 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilB Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I do like a good summertime sunset, sunrise is good but, apart from winter, it entails getting out of bed far too early for my liking... I normally sit in the cockpit with a beer, red wine or whisky depending on my mood and the drinks cabinet contents! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think I could manage sunrise though but sunset and I am with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Think mornings are best.Most of my working life, I was up early.It tends to be quiet ,this time of year as Grace said a little bit misty.The sun on cobwebs.Nice in the summer when it's warm.The winter that cold crispy feeling warming up with a hot drink.I do like the seasons,it makes things interesting. Years ago we went to America in February. In Vegas it was 25c,we left our Hotel 25c.We traveled to the Grand Canon it was -5c.Now that was strange 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WherryNice Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Breydon heading North from Burgh Castle at about 0530 in June......best ever morning for me....so far 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 Such lovely replies and pics, thank you. Although I have come to the conclusion that Monica should get up earlier, Ian needs to lie in more and NeilB needs a galley slave to help with that wine and don't get me started on Alan (Happy) x 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 After a long cruise on a hot day, a glass of something and as you settle down to sleep a cool breeze freshens the boat and the gentle patter of rain on the roof sends you off to the best sleep ever 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 It's a hard one as it's in the past. Sitting on WR or with friends on rafted boats nearby at Barton. Enjoying a drink, a shared meal and the relative peace and quiet of a Broadland evening. Or moored at Thurne watching a Barn Owl hunt over the marshes. Or a murmuration of Starlings at How Hill or hearing the bittern booming in the early hours whilst on 3RRs guard ship or... I have the photos... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeCabby Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Whenever I’m afloat , moored up barbecue on the go , a glass of gin and tonic or a real ale , watching the world go by ,in the company of Katie of course 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Shall we all this evening , pour ourselves a glass of whatever , close our eyes and imagine that we are at our favourite spot on the Broads. Just had a thought , they put the clocks back tonight , so goodnight to light evenings, roll on 21st December when they start drawing out again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
