Naughty-Cals Norfolk Adventure

[Naughty Cal]

Last nights Chinese takeaway was good if anyone ends up in the Potter Heigham area.

 

Horse and Groom.

[billS]

did you get through the bridge?

[Naughty Cal]

No. By the time the tide was low enough to get through we had had a few too many bevies and didn't fancy taking it through. Would have fit though.

[billS]

Ah - so you bottled it. The attempt has been canned?

Quite literally!

So today we have had a steady trot downstream towards Great Yarmouth

 

 

Before having a quick blast across Breydon.

 

 

Before refuelling at Goodchilds and then heading back to Great Yarmouth where we are now enjoying a spot of lunch, cheese crackers and pâté in the sunshine.

 

 

Once the tide has turned which shouldn't be long now we will have a steady jaunt back to the Tapas Bar which is in what was on e the Pontiac Roadhouse.

Not TOO quick though eh???

 

I remember the Pontiac Road House as the Stacey Arms but I am an old crusty...

[Naughty Cal]

About 30 knots.

 

No speed limit on Breydon you just need to be aware of other boats around.

 

On the run across there were no other boats about so 30 knots all the way. Few boats dotted around on the way back so not so quick.

I was referring to the warning notice Liam got, presumably that was due to the proximity of other boats....

[Naughty Cal]

Apparently although we did slow down in plenty of time.

 

They admitted to us that they have to be seen to be doing their job so if it is busy they will pull any planing boats over.

[Guest]

Presumably they have something quicker than the usual boats you see them in -

 

[Naughty Cal]

Yeah. Pictures of it are on the camera though. Will post them when we get home. Quite an impressive piece if kit.

[Woodstock]

love the photos- we started off by hiring on the broads and have been many times-and have fond memories of a small cruiser from Moffats in Loddon and Breydon water scared the life out of me- how things have changed. I remember seeing a group of kids very sheepish after they had ripped the top deck off Richardsons star boat (at the time) pink champagne under St Olaves Bridge

 

and Roy of Wroxham is a legend!!!!

 

Enjoy!!!

[Naughty Cal]

Last night on the Broads tonight. Off the Southwold in the morning for a couple of days and then on to Wells and Blakeney before finally heading back to Boston and home up the Witham.

Only posh people go to Southwold

[Naughty Cal]

They will have a shock when we roll in with ten Sealines and their rowdy crews then!

[carlt]

Ooops, better stop our regular trips then.

 

I always thought Walberswick was the posh side of the river.

[Naughty Cal]

We had a very enjoyable couple of days in Southwold and are now tucked up safely in Wells. No pictures yet afraid as phone reception isn't great.

 

Fantastic run up the coast this afternoon in glass like seas until we reached the anchorage and it chopped up so we had an uncomfortable hour or so waiting for the tide.

It is. We strayed over there as well!!

 

Very posh houses.

[Naughty Cal]

Pictures uploaded at last!

 

Southwold Harbour

 

 

Last nights mooring in Wells next the Sea

 

 

And a lovely dinner last night of sweet chilli smoked salmon, smoked crevettes, smoked king scallops, Cajun tomato bread, smoked mature cheddar and smoked Stilton. All purchased from the Southwold Smokehouse.

Naughty-Cals stay in Wells is almost over. Tomorrow we must start the journey home to Lincoln.

 

Tomorrow we will say goodbye to Nitty Gritty , Blue Pearl and their respective crews as we head for Boston and they head for Hull as we all make our way home after what has been a great two weeks so far.

[Naughty Cal]

After a near perfect run back across the Wash Naughty-Cal is one step closer to home in Boston. Sea conditions were not quite as flat as the run from Southwold to Wells but not by far.

 

 

[Lockie Junior]

Yeah. Pictures of it are on the camera though. Will post them when we get home. Quite an impressive piece if kit.

 

That's the new 'Spirit of Breydon' I assume?

[Naughty Cal]

Yep.

[Lockie Junior]

Thought so. Looks a good piece of kit indeed.

I also, plus the Locks Inn at Geldeston when it was run by the late Walter Coe. A real character. Kept the pub with oil lights and a strange toilet iirc.

So sad to see it "modernised"

Had a nice curry there tonight. Colin does curry every Friday, they also had about 8 beers on, but I was driving so just one "Trawler Boys"
