    Hi Graham and Wendy, I've been enjoying your Norfolk Broads videos! We have had a week away on Shimmering Light last year, so we've unknowingly been on holiday with your house bricks 😂😂😂 It has been lovely to see the boat and the broads again!

    Wow! This is bringing back memories 😊 It seems like you had a wonderful first night at Wroxham Water! Looks super cozy on the boat, and that sunset view was stunning ✨. I can't believe those house bricks are still there after 3 years 🤣 Definitely a lucky charm! ! 🚤

    Hi Graham & Wendy, glad youve managed to get a break away. Brings good memories back. We did the boating on the broads e few years back. Dont know if my nerves could stand it now. Those boats take some controlling. Especially going backwards . They have a mind of their own. Hope you enjoyed yourselves. Dave & Max

    I was down there 3 years ago with all my boys, no girls allowed, and I loved the whole trip and area although I had a little problem finding the place. I will go back again sometime. That is a well appointed boat. I wasn't to happy steering the thing we were on also. I hope you have a good time. There could be all sorts hidden behind that seat and a good place to keep your stash. NI rest for poor Wendy.

    Hello Graham. It's not zooming in and out, it's focus hunting. If you pause the video and go backwards (comma) or forwards (full stop) frame by frame, you can see it attempting to focus. I don't know why because it's already in focus. Weird. I'd set it to manual focus to stop it.

    • @grahamgetsabout2672
      @grahamgetsabout2672  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Sandra, this was an older boat booked last minute so a lot cheaper. The two mains sockets were run through an inverter from batteries so not really enough power for an air fryer. We had to cook the old fashioned way by gas. We had the boat for a week but couldn’t load the videos because the internet isn’t great in Norfolk. ❤️😘🥰😍👌

    I have so many questions....
    Do you need a special licence to drive the boat?
    How much does it cost?
    Is there a limit to how far you can go?

    • @grahamgetsabout2672
      @grahamgetsabout2672  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi it can be very expensive but we hired an old boat out of season on a last minute booking.
      You don’t need a licence just a little respect and common sense.
      The Norfolk broads is a large area. We only cruised the northern broads. As you see in the video I only go steady.
      I hope that’s some kind of help to you. 👍
