Half-term in 'Respite'

Another half-term and another houseboat - this time it's Respite.

Once again we took Varuna with us and we had good weather for our week on the Broads.

Half-term in 'Discovery Bay'

For half-term week in October 1982 we hired a houseboat called Discovery Bay which was moored at Horning. In 1981 we'd bought a Westerly Nimrod called Varuna and we towed it to Norfolk, launched it from the slipway at Horning and kept it moored by the houseboat. We spent the week sailing from our base. Unfortunately we only have a few photos.
