Bob. Thanks for the interesting library article.
It caught my eye as I too sail over to Blakeney, (Brancaster, Wells, Thornham etc). I used to sail direct across the Wash from Gibralter Point where Equinox was on a drying mooring- tidal limitations pushed me a bit further north to the Grimsby Cleethorpes Yacht Club (gcyc.co.uk) where I have 24 hour any tide access to the sea.
We still sail down to the north Norfolk coast though - a stunning area that in my opinion is sadly not appreciated enough. Ideal for just about all Swallow Yachts to explore with plenty of safe sailing area's.
Last year I was sent details of the Cley Harbour Regatta which looks really good fun. (The channel down to Cley has been dredged and widened), for those interested in sail and oar it should be a must in the years sailing calendar. A light hearted but challenging 'race' from Cley through to Blakeney.
I've attached last year's flyer for info and would be well worth considering if they hold it again this year..
