BroadAmbition Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Sign us up! Hmmmm, I reckon I have heard that one before, from more than one source too! Still here's hoping for next year. Oh and you can provisionally sign 'B.A' up for next year too, Thanks. Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazelgirl Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Yaaaaaay Martham boats have confirmed this afternoon that even though we will be on High Water and Spring Tide, they will get us through the bridge, have to admit, had a little panic on when I realised this morning that High Tide at Potter is about 2.40pm on Friday. Too much concentration been had on Low Water for Breydon and cruising times, anyhow panic over, we should still make it there on the Friday night 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Unfortunately, I can announce that WR wont make it next year. A total eclipse of the sun in the USA has snarled up my sailing season big time All set to make this Saturday though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Its getting close now! Can we wish everyone traveling to Beccles this weekend a safe journey. We know some have many hours on the road before getting underway afloat and this years tides in Yarmouth mean early starts or late finishes for a lot of crews coming from the north rivers as well. See you all there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRascal Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I was going to attend Saturday afternoon stay on BA overnight and return to London on Sunday but now I will be arriving by water on the Friday evening. So it will be off to Liverpool Street early afternoon Friday, then a first for me as my destination will be Great Yarmouth. Out the station then I can actually walk over the bridges I so often have cruised under, round to the Yacht Station and await the arrival of Broad Ambition to pick me up and proceed over Breydon and on to Beccles. It is not often one has to worry about both train times and then tidal times to catch 'the boat'. Come Sunday it will be Beccles, Ipswich, London 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizG Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Forecast is a tad windy on Saturday so we have to get across Breydon on schedule before the storm comes through. Should be okay though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Looking at the charts you should have no problem. It will be windy but SSE. so not influenced by tide if you keep to the red ones it should be smooth up and down stream and smooth with the wind a' beam Wish I was able to attend. Have great weekend all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 We towed our half-decker across Breydon last spring in 20+knots wind against tide. I nearly had puppies, but she was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizG Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 40mph wind speeds after we should have crossed is not my cup of tea. A few years back had spray on waveney going in my g and t 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago we crossed south to north in South Seas from EW in strong winds, but it was a beam reach with a following tide. Quite exhilarating. We hit an indicated 10 knots, though I still don't really believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 We'll make a final call late Friday or very early Saturday, but the chances of us sailing up the Waveney on Saturday morning are not looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I had guessed as much Robert. seems that fortnights "Sun hotter than the Rio Olympics" was somewhat optimistic! Its a long haul in poor weather.
