Windy Breydon

[alexandlorna]

Have come across from South side in last few hours, and was extremely gusty

But wind has now strengthened and we are showing gusts of 35-40 knots between Yarmouth and Stracey Arms

So take care today all ☺☺

Hi Alex,

 

I was passed you at Acle moorings before Ruth said there is Braveheart. Interesting mooring up!

Hi - sorry I did not realise who you were, we came into Rockland when you were tucked into the corner.  It looked like an excellent spot to lurk.

Hi Ian we never saw you as it was very "interesting" with such winds

I assume it was us you saw as there were a fair few hire boats there doing stuff really close to us also

Now back at Lbby till we return next sat ☺

I thought you meant Ian Sueh, but since we were lurking in that spot I guess you mean us

What boat were you on then I remember "Last Chance , Moonlight Shadow and Firefly plus one other concorde I think

Well that last was a poor effort at quote and reply but I can't fix it !

Hi Alex.

 

I was on Moonlight Shadow in Rockland when you were lurking in the corner.

Give us a shout next time ☺

I think we saw Moonlight Shadow when moored at Worlingham last season in June I think, was that you on board then?

Personally I like a bit of a wind on Breydon. Despite my old tub has a flat bottom and bangs on every wave, even showing daylight underneath so I have been told. It makes a break from the calm waters on the rest of the Broads.

 

In saying that I can remember a few years ago bashing across Hickling Broad late one evening in half light heading for an excellent meal and a few pints in The Pleasure Boat. Hickling Broad can be just as lively as Breydon Water.

To be honest ,Breydon was not bad until Breydon Bridge ,where the swell was a bit worse

It was between Gt Yarmouth and Points North the real fun began due to heavy gusts of wind

No one on board had a curry the night before so that was ruled out !

We hardly notice the waves unless really bad ( Breydon  would no doubt be closed by then anyway ) ,but the superstructure being high at the stern does make for some fun in high winds !

Well said.  Love Breydon in a blow, especially playing in a rib.

A number of Martham's sailing boats turned up on Oulton Broad today. Must have had exciting sail across Breydon! If they picked their boats up on Saturday then they did well to make O.B. today.
