Aah, i see now, that’s the Burnham channel buoys not Wells channel?No its right, holkham is between wells and scolt head. Its a fantastic cruising ground isn't it, numerous inlets and drying harbours to explore and nice little coast hops between. But need something that can dry out of course to make the most of it. I actually bought a £2500 23ft bilge keeler just to spend the summer up there with the wife and kids, could just about all sleep on it for a week on week off alternating with work over the summer, and then sold it in the autumn for about what I'd paid for it. No storage or maintenance fees. Compared to the price and what you get renting a cottage up there for even just a week I'd say that was a good method

I was expecting something squallish but nothing happened ?

I bet a lot of people who don't sail won't believe these sunset exist without photoshop

Red Sands towers roughly 1998. Pre digital and pre wind turbines. I was thinking they are going to be there for generations to see but actually it wouldn't surprise me if the green revolution will see them torn down and replaced with a turbine.

I think it's called something like a roll cloud. I saw a similar one in Germany in 2011, which I think I have shown previously.

That looks like the front edge of a squall though. The thing in Norfolk was just a cigar shaped cloud with nothing going on weather wise. Was quite odd

I think it was the same cloud but different in degree. Here is a bit from The Cloudspotters' Guide.

I often take pictures of clouds, especially if they look odd. This was off the Frisians. I presume that it was caused by two layers of air shearing. A sort of polyroll perhaps.

The skies are very grey today but there are at least six different cloud types in this one, taken yesterday

These latest pictures are more like the East Coast I know - grey clouds and grey seas (not to mention grey seals and grey mud)!

Jumping off the back without is quite the liberating experience but I got badly sunburnt through my shirt that day, i would have regretted it a lot more if I'd gone dutchNothing nicer if it's warm enough!

This was a very unusual cloud formation near Start Point in Devon in June 2017. I have posted this before and see below the photo to see what change to the weather occured.
This was a cold front that dropped the air temperature by about 10C and brought thick fog.

Re the cloud of Norfolk, obviously no one watched The Last Wave earlier in the year!!
