JennyMorgan Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 From Sunday onwards, http://www.wobyc.myzen.co.uk/ I will be out there snapping away & will probably post a picture or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 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"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Peter, Will you not be out sailing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finny Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Oulton week otherwise known as " rear of the year week " ........well that's providing there is a stiff breeze and Peter is at the right place at the right time ..........he has never let us down Do you best please JM photofanfin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 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! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finny Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 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 ?? Finny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 I have to ask why is Maidie low in the water ?? Finny The clue, Finny, is in the angle of the mast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finny Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 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 Finny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finny Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 A rather large Crew also - surely she wouldn't need so many ?? Finny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
