We were awake early again after a night when we'd had some rain and I found my book floating in a pool of water on the shelf beside me! Luckily it wasn't a library book and my phone and watch were elsewhere. We set off at 8.45am heading back down Meadow Dyke and turning right at the end of it.
This took us to Hickling Broad ...
and after passing an anchored yacht which reminded us of home ...
we moored up on the end of the dyke by the Pleasure Boat Inn ...
Behind us we had some houseboats on one side ...
and the Sailing Club on the other ...
with a little sandy beach between us and the Club which was full of geese ...
Naturally the bread came out and I had to feed them ...
As the morning progressed the weather improved and what better setting to have a snooze ...
It was then time to take Hamish for a walk and we passed these lovely cottages in very traditional Norfolk flint ...
returning to the boat for bacon and eggs - yummy!
After lunch we motored off and at one stage we had the company of two black swans ...
It had been very quiet above Potter Heigham as so few boats can get under the bridge but we did see the occasional yacht ...
We were heading for a mooring at Potter again so that we'd be ready for the low tide in the morning and on the way down we saw various boats ...
a lovely wherry weather vane ...
and when we reached our mooring a little steam launch went past ...
There wasn't a lot of room under the bridge this evening but hopefully the tide would be low enough in the morning for us to get back to the other side ...
