What to expect in 2013

It has been a while since I have written here, and so wanted to give regular followers a taster of what is to come this year.

First off Norfolk Broads - LIVE! will be continuing in the featuring of the holiday tales and Captain's Blogs - and not just be about  the live broadcasts.  This will give those who have a passion for the Norfolk Broads a single point to come to be it to watch the You Tube videos, read up on the day to day events or watch the live broadcasts.

Talking of the Captain's Blog they will be changing too.  I am going to try and feature more details about the boat and produce a more formal review.  I will also be featuring more 'river action' and less commentary - or to put it bluntly more interesting things and less me.  

This will all begin sometime in March - dates to be confirmed - when I shall be producing the 'Budget Boat Review'.  This will be a four night break on one of the cheapest boats one can hire on the Norfolk Broads and give an insight into what you can expect when want to get on the water at the cheapest price.

We then return in mid-April with the first of the live broadcasts - this will feature a trip over Breydon Water and live broadcasting over a two day period all the way into Norwich. A first for Norfolk Broads - LIVE!

The above will be subject to tides.

In June we come back and will be part of the Norfolk Broads Forum Annual Meet held at Ranworth Island - this will be a first and hopefully the weather will be ideal for all the fun to take place.

Finally, the season will come to a close in October - so you will have a host of video, reading and live broadcast to enjoy in the coming months.

Brinks Rhapsody - The Review

Image
I think I will leave it to the video review to let you decide what your impressions are of this new cruiser on the Norfolk Broads, but I for one have been one over by it's sheer luxury and innovation. Yes it is a premium boat, attracting a premium price but unlike other boats for hire, this is a boat without compromise.  There is no need to worry about brining a high powered appliances with you because it has the capacity to run them - and of course the power generation onboard to keep them going. A domestic electric induction hob cooker, fan assisted oven, electric kettle, toaster and domestic sized fridge and separate 24 bottle wine chiller - then there is the thermostatically controlled individual heating to every cabin - heated toilet/shower compartments with heated towel rails, premium flat screen televisions in each cabin with the ability to play DVDs, CD's and play Movies saved to USB drives coupled with a Radio/CD player with an MP3 input option a...

Next live Broadcast approaches

Norfolk Broads Live! Will be on air again from 1st April 2012 and there shall be no tom foolery just because of the date! Since the first two trials of streaming live footage while afloat much has been learnt not only about the technology behind such, but the equipment one uses to make it all possible along too with how one should make such an event as interesting as possible.

Brinks Belmore | The Big Tour - Day 7 (Part 1)

Image
As the morning went on other boaters had departed and the Staithe began to empty, what is rather odd is how tidal the river Chet is, and now being high water the stern of Belmore was well above the quay making it possible to simple ‘walk off’ an almost level platform.  Time for a top up of water and a walk into the village. I popped into the small store and got some bits and had a wander and wondered what a place this may have been in the late 70’s and 80’s when of course there was a lot more boatyard’s here trading - but these days it seems to be smart homes and moorings, but if you wish to begin a holiday from this quiet and beautiful location Maffets and Princess Cruisers are two very nice yards to consider. I had a late breakfast and before long it was time to plan my day – I knew I had to go over Breydon, but where should I be headed? I ‘pencilled in’ Acle and thought it would be nice if I was able to pop into the Bridge Inn – now here is an honest point for you, I am...
