Oulton Week

[JennyMorgan]

From Sunday onwards,

http://www.wobyc.myzen.co.uk/

I will be out there snapping away & will probably post a picture or two.

[Hockham Admiral]

We arrive on Friday, Peter and will be early enough not to bother the yachts.

 

It might be an Idea (if you have the technical know-how, which I don't) to publish a pic of Oulton Broad and show the best track for motor boats to take to/from Oulton Dyke to the Yacht Station. Perhaps under the header "Getting to and from OBYS when yachts are racing"?

[C.Ricko]

Peter,

Will you not be out sailing?

[JennyMorgan]

Clive, we intend to be out on Spray 150. Re photos, tiller held by one foot, sheet in one hand, camera in t'other, simples. 

[JennyMorgan]

John, don't have the expertise but suggest that folk stay well over to the left as they enter the Broad. That said watching MAFI's panic when confronted by a gaggle of bowsprits and topsails can be entertaining!

[NonTecky]

Lord help me on Monday then... Im heading for BVH so staying left wont work! I will apologise in advance for any mayhem I cause!

[NonTecky]

Ooops! I meant BHV! (Broadlands Holiday Village) 

[mbird]

Oh goody, more flappies to aim at on Friday afternoon

Not all my Oulton Week photos have their fans. One gentleman was so incensed by one particular shot, not exactly rear of the year although not a million miles away, if you get my drift, that he left the two forums that I then frequented, He then became a founder member of another Broads forum. Haven't dared apply for membership, yet!

Windy today!

Will our Lady Boy be thrashing the waves in his Lady Bird later today? 

[BroadScot]

The big yachts will know doubt be out on the Firth of Clyde this morning Peter. They like their fun on a weekend.

Finny, will this rear end do?

110 year old Maidie out racing today.

[finny]

Don't get much better than that Peter - super photos and thanks ........perhaps the best "rear of the year " so far - I have to ask why is Maidie low in the water ??

The clue, Finny, is in the angle of the mast!

[JennyMorgan]

No rears this time, taken this evening:

[finny]

I walked right into that one - that said ..and perhaps it the angle but the mast doesn't look on full tilt compared to the other two photos

 

great shot though

[JennyMorgan]

Finny, she does create a trough as she travels along on a windy day, Quite simply she was sitting in her own trough, plus she was heeling!

[finny]

A rather large Crew also - surely she wouldn't need so many ??

More people to share the costs?

 

She does have lots of strings to pull.

[JennyMorgan]

Nice one on the Wherry Web Cam!!
