We’ve kicked the sailing season off with a fun cruise to Coltishall.

We spent Friday night at the Club moorings, Mr Cuckoo was calling during the night to attract a mate but he moved about and didn’t keep us awake.

 Saturday we headed to Jo & Cally’s in Wroxham.  On the way the motor boats stopped at lunchtime for a pint at The Maltsters, Ranworth while the sailors sailed on and stopped for lunch at Cockshoot and Salhouse Broad.  Saturday evening we enjoyed a bbq in Jo & Cally’s garden.  Kippers were once again on the menu for breakfast Sunday morning served in the house - thank you Jo & Cally.

We made our way to Coltishall Sunday and had a fantastic meal at The Recruiting Sergeant Sunday evening.  Thanks to Roger & Lesley who helped with transport to the pub in their car and to David who shortened the walk with a lift in his dory to the lock.

Back to Cockshoot for lunch on Monday, then home.

Pleased to report the weather was better than the forecast!
