A have just returned from a two week holiday on the Norfolk
Broads here are a few shots from the holiday.
Day1 Pick up our boat, the Moon Adventure from the
Richardson's boatyard at Acle Norfolk. After a brief explanation of the
controls and a short run up the river to make sure we knew the rules of the
river and how to moor the craft we set off.

| Moon Adventure |
The Broads have loads of windmills along the river, most of
them were used as wind pumps.
There are loads of sailing boats on the river, some are
holiday makers in rented craft but there are a number of privately owned and
club boats. I am always surprised how skilled these various yachts are handled
in what is a very confined space even though a lot of these craft do not have an auxiliary engine.
This craft is operated to give visitors a run up the river, although
it looks like a paddle steamer it is not, the paddle free wheels and does not
contribute to the propulsion of the boat.
