Made it. We woz late leaving her home berth. Sailed at 1300, 1/2 hour stop at GYA arrived at Beccles 2015.  47 miles

47 miles...... 6.45 hrs......     

[riyadhcrew]

That equates to an average speed of 6.96 mph. (47 divided by 6.75) That is very good going in anybody's book. Well done Griff and BA.

As they say in the Army - "First man to answer that gets 14 days!"

Maybe it was "as the crow flies"?

Red Bull has wings.....nah, Broad Ambition has though ! That was quick !!! 

[BroadAmbition]

Aye but it'll be a lot more sedate on the return

Of course the SOA average time was only possible due to a steady 30mph over Breydon

Having said that, the speed limit on the Ant is 4 mph, normally a 2 hour journey from Stalham. That puts the average speed up quite a bit for the remainder.

 

 

[BroadAmbition]

Tad less actually as it is 7 mile from Richo's to the mouth and Barton is 5mph

Prepare for a headache tomorrow!    

[BroadAmbition]

It commenced heavy rain last night at 2100. Up at 0600 and it is still persisting it down. This is awkward as I intend to sail at around 0730 but the dressing lines are still up a (along with the led string) so they are of course v. wet so can't really stow em inboard 

well I never did, whilst typing this post it has just stopped 

To improve matters MrsG is vertical, kettle on, bacon rolls on the way too I hope

Oh 'bother' spoke too soon, rain back on. 

Griff

[ZimbiIV]

Well I can see bits of blue sky here at Brundall, between the rain drops!

Crikey, time travel! That's some boat.

[LondonRascal]

Hope the day got better for you and the rain has stopped (should not trouble you again today) You will be pleased to note tomorrow might get up to 26c - no rain and lighter winds

[BroadAmbition]

Met BH at Reedham, spent 4 x hrs in the ship inn as the Nelson is NOT open. Then Loddon for overnight, dinner in t white horse. Sailed this morning against tide for Acle bridge inn.

2000rpm is normally 7mph but today 6mph.

1245 - Not quite at the yacht station as only 6ft2" under bridges and getting less by the minute so we are on the lay-by pontoon 100yds downriver of Breydon lifting bridge. We will wait for tide to turn and give us 6ft4" minimum. Sun is blazing, bonded locker is open. Perfect and today is my B'day too!

Happy birthday Griff. I could think of worse places to be on your birthday, especially with the locker open.
