This years early resplendent sunshine heralded the start of the boating season. Many people came out to bask on Hoveton's lengthy riverside front. Even the alternate climes of pelting hail, or rain, high winds and bitter cold doesn't spoil the joy of being near the water for some souls.
Whatever the weather, boats around the scattered Broadland boat yards are being made ready for launching. The houseboat and her attendant boats are also being overhauled, with many small jobs adding up to make one mountainous job.
The most curious occurrences can be seen on the river, even at this early juncture of the year. You might even see some 21st century wherry trading ~ Royall's historic Motor Boat WILLING BOYS, transporting some racking for Heather's stores.
