THANK GOD I can't access it: need to be a registered user.

For the last time, man: will you please, please PLEASE stop telling us about yet another delightful venture on the water. Specially those irritating pics with the sun shining and cold beers in your hand......

Anyhow.....wheres the pics? :)
 
Bog-off you sadistic bastid :)




Cracking pics as always....and congratulations on the speeding notice:cool:



I envy your ability to go on these extended trips: I just dont have the time or enthusiastic enough other half.

A Lady????.....surely a lady would never post such inflammatory material!

If, however, I am wrong and she's the stunning strawberry blonde pictured with the Yorkie.....then I take back every word ;)
 
We enjoyed it but it was a lot quieter than we expected. Very few hire boats about.

I think we timed it just right as we were a week before the schools broke up.

On the plus side that meant we could moor everywhere we had planned to moor and had no near misses or impacts this time.

Not sure when our next visit will be as next year we are heading North up the East coast and the year after we plan to visit the Great Ouse and head up to Ely and Cambridge.
 
I think Southwold was the hidden gem for us this year. It was the first time we have visited this harbour but certainly wont be the last.

For me, that was one of the real beauties of boating on the Broads, you could moor up nearly everywhere.
 
Southwold is a quaint little stop with a lovely chippy working out of an old fishermans shed. Local brew is not bad either. Did my ICC on a boat from there and
have very fond memories of the place. Just wished I had checked it had an expiry date!!!!! The RYA has clearly taken a leaf out of the National |Trust in extracting
the maximum cash out of its members.
Do I have to go through then whole rigmarole again???

We enjoyed that also. One of our best evenings was spent nosed into the reeds on Sutton Broad.

But we would have perhaps liked to have seen more boats about, especially the hire boats. A lot of the yards we passed still had the majority of their boats in the yard. Hopefully they will be a bit busier now the school holidays have started.

We loved Southwold but had been told so many horror stories from folks about getting in and out and mooring up there. In reality it isnt anything to worry about at all. Yes the tide flows quite strongly (we were there on big spring tides so it really did rattle through) but it didnt cause us any great problems. The biggest problem was getting ropes long enough to reach the shore from four boats out, then getting off the inside boat at low water when the staithe was eight feet higher than the bow of the boat and getting on the inside boat at high water when the bow of the boat was six foot above the staithe :D

Glad no one had the cameras out to photograph me unceremoniously scaling the bow of Blue Pearl.......
