I was taught by a sailor who called it tacking, are you now suggesting that a motor boat should operate differently ?

[JawsOrca]

Thought that was my folks for a second there... (They are in norfolk this weekend so they wont see this...!)

[Polly]

Oh wicked! They will see it when they come back, bet ya.

Friend of mine called it Military Style....left....right....left....right.

Do they use twice as much fuel

Nice that they didn't give up though.

[Hylander]

Is that Gran steering after a few glasses of Senatogen?     Wouldl not be so funny if you behind them.

[Boaters]

These videos don't help promote these best image of Broads boating but raise a chuckle as well as sense of wonderment .We had a lady do exactly that when she joined us on our boat ,could not grasp it ,yet was an excellent car driver ?

[Gracie]

It did make me giggle and cringe at the same time, the thought of that beautiful boat crashing into something does'nt bear thinking about, I believe they are our very own Skipper Jonzo's favourite boat, I think he would have kittens watching that lol

Nothing wrong with her steering, its the sat nav was wrong!  She was only following the planned route. Wasn't she?

when we were up and around we were doing that a little for the first day, mind you so was the boat behind, until they got side on and hit the reed beds at ramming speed, they got a good way off the main river (just upstream from acle), but did manage to reverse off again.

When my grandad was with us many years ago he had the weaving issue. He used to say it was habit incase their was a Messerschmitt overhead!!

He was shot in the leg by a Messerschmitt on his way to Dunkirl!
