Norfolk Broads

Yachting on the Broads

I

went sailing on the Norfolk Broads again this year. This time we had a bigger boat; a 36 foot yacht.

It was a pretty adventurous two days. We managed to run aground a couple of times, my brother nearly fell in and lost his mobile phone. We managed to get tangled up in a racing dinghy’s marker buoy dragging it down one of the broads with the dinghies chasing after us as they tried to go around their buoy.

I expect we’ll be banned from returning next year.

Norfolk Broads

M

y father, brother and sister, hired a sailing boat on the Norfolk Broads for a few days, so we went up to meet them for the day.

The weather wasn’t great but it remained dry until we ended our day of sailing at one of the pubs, whereupon it absolutely chucked it down.

I took most of my photos on my compact camera but I did take a few on the iPhone.
