ranworthbreeze Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 We are currently moored at Bramerton Green under the canopy, it is still to hot to be down below. After the storm late last night the weather was good until about 1.00pm, loads of people on the river and it was full of boats on the green other than the spot we managed to get into, we even managed to get lunch before the thunder started and the downpour. Some two hours on and the storm is going round in a circle. The trip boat out of Thorpe has just gone past with its running lights on making its way back, the trippers did not look that happy on its journey out so I guess they will be fed up by now. I feel so sorry for the people who picked up their hire craft yesterday afternoon, at least we have had good weather up to now with the rain only being at night.

Gracie Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If it was raining and stormy constantly then we would get a bit fed up but we like a good storm on the broads, we crossed Breydon in a storm once on a Rickos bath tub, I loved it when I eventually came out of the cabin, my boy's asked if they could sit in the front well, you can imagine my answer, they had their life jackets on in the saloon lolGrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExMemberBobdog Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I feel sorry for the people camping at Whitlingham. After this afternoon's downpour the campsite is a lake, about 9 inches deep in water at the lower end. Tents like little islands, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
