The "guess the place" thread

A trickyish one, maybe. Yes it is me, age 13.




It is indeed the Broads. Not much else to go on unless you are an afficianado of boats which would have been old when your dad was sailing there.

It was about 7am in the morning, heading back to the boatyard on the final day. A cool April morning with the mist low on the water. Still air, the gentle throb of the little donkey engine pushing the boat onwards. In traditional broads style standing leaning on the boom with one foot on the cockpit edge, the other on the tiller. Clean fresh air, the river empty and silent ahead of us and the rest of the crew dozing below (apart from the skipper who took the photo). Bacon sarnies and hot mugs of tea in the fresh air.

Fantastic.
