Guest Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Very good idea to have a "picture of the day" thread. Once it is going strong it would be excellent if some/many of the pictures could be current rather than historical. For those of us who live a long way away seeing a photo taken today adds an extra frisson of interest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadensa Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Why not go on the webcams and take your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Peter, I was hoping to nudge you on this one. Keep them coming! Kadensa. I've always found watching webcams a bit unfulfilling. Would much rather see a photo taken by a real person who has taken care in composing their image. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Not a particularly good picture but hopefully interesting to sailies. It shows a Waveney One Design sailing on Oulton Broad during Oulton Regatta 2014. Incidentally W10 was built for my father immediately after World War Two. Dad was one of several local business men that ordered new boats in an attempt to re-kick-start the local economy and the new yacht club. The Waveney was designed as a class boat originally for the Waveney Yacht Club, later amalgamated to become the Waveney & Oulton Broad Yacht Club in 1946. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxwellian Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 We thought this was a really nice looking church. Lovely moorings close by and quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Peter, please do. Having hired a YBOD recently and being enormously impressed, I'm very keen to try out a Waveney One Design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Spider, having sailed both I reckon the WOD is the better river boat whilst the YBOD is the better boat on open water. The WOD, well sailed, can, in my opinion, work its way along a bank with fewer tacks than a YBOD. There's a nice WOD on E-Bay at the moment!

Guest Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 .....We could probably do with a look at our settings I agree, as some weren't quite right after the migration to the new software...... Yes, maybe worth a look, ...quite aside from the policy decision of whether to allow or block, it's not consistent across the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi John & Strowager, Pictures sorted and tested on my amiman (member rights) login. Regards Alan Alan, Hi and nice to see you back again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hello Strowager, Nice picture. I thought however that it may be better if the the days picture was in a new topic every day so people knew it was a new picture and another topic, rather than a follow on. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimG Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Nothing particularly spectacular about this except for the river level. We spent 4hrs at The Berney Arms waiting to pass under the Yarmouth bridges, we got turned round on Breydon by the BA. It was October 2009, note the lack of quay!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
