While the #Britsh #canals have much to recommend them, when you have the open spaces of the #Norfolk #Broads on your #doorstep it's hard to say which are best.

I like to think I can balance the various differences fairly as we are lucky enough to have a small #canal #workers #cottage that fronts the #Bridgewater #Canal at #PrestonBrook where we plan to keep our #canoe after our house move.

Just realised! All the #dinghies on that Pontoon are #Yeoman (if not the drop keel variant the #kinsman

They used to be one of my favourite #halfdecker designs on the #Broads. Cheaper to maintain than the #traditional #wooden #classes found on the Broads, but I succumbed to the #SeaHawk which is a fabulous design for #solo #weekend #sailing

I read one report that suggested it will take a year to fix.

That's a lot of #water to tread.

Is it me or have both of you been relatively quiet recently?

Also, it must be time to up the hashtag count. There must be more #canal and #broads #boaters out there.

#Broadcaster includes #tidetables (essential if you plan to go through #GreatYarmouth and visit the quieter southern rivers of the #NorfolkBroads) and a table of cruising times between key points on the #Broads. Free paper copies of the magazine are available at the various visitor centres and most local pubs.

I don't do Facebook or other mainstream social media sites, but would recommend browsing around
https://forum.norfolkbroadsnetwork.com/
There's plenty of locals and experienced visitors there who will answer questions (providing you demonstrate you've done some research of your own and just need a little more detail).

You can get a flavour of my boating experience of the Broads (from the mid 1960s) at:
