South Walsham to Salhouse

What a difference a day makes! After the dark skies and wind of yesterday we woke to a lovely sunrise ...

and blue skies ...

The swans were flying ...

and the wind was much more manageable today ...

We set off from the mooring at 10am and Hamish settled down on his favourite spot ...

We looked in at Ranworth but didn't stop ...



Once back on the River Bure we were heading towards Horning being passed by the Southern Comfort ...

and seeing familiar landmarks on our way ...

As we approached Cockshoot Dyke there was plenty of space so we moored up for coffee but as it was so nice we stayed until after lunch.

The weather was fantastic! It was so hot I had to go inside to cool down! Mike was very busy boat and people watching ...



After lunch we set off again passing through Horning ...


where there was racing at the Sailing Club ...


and I spotted something for sale! Very nice but way out of our league no doubt ...

This chap was concentrating hard on a fish ...

We arrived at Wroxham Broad and dropped the mudweight just in time to watch the start of a race. The first mark was ideally situated for photos ...




After a very welcome cuppa we left the Broad and made our way back downriver to Salhouse Broad passing the ice-cream boat on the way ...

and moored up stern on ready for the night ...

We had a visit from a black swan ...

and there was a lovely full moon ...
