This weeks NEWS from the Norfolk Broads, footage from various Broads locations 5-12th April 2024

[@StevesRepairs]

Thanks Lisa, for this lovely vlog with very interesting news and great views of all the boats that are now on The Broads. Some people on the slightly taller cruisers don't realise that they need to drop their canopy's before they get to low bridges such as Ludham Bridge so when they get there have to suddenly back off and then getting snatched by the wind. It's all good fun and part of the learning curve but don't hang onto ropes in these situations. As they say, "every day is a school day" when boating on The Broads. It was great to see so many boats but all those sail boats out so early and in a wind storm was terrific. I hope that you are doing well. Take care and all the best. Stevie

[@NewnameSameme]

Thank you Stevie, I’m very well thank you. Hope you are too. I’ve filmed more sailing boats for Friday’s video. Spoilt for choice at the moment. It’s still very busy out on the water, hardly surprising as it felt like summer today. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. 👋🏻

We were away that week with our family, daughters birthday celebration, in Southwold which was lovely. Knowing I was so close to the broads was difficult though 😅. Lovely catch up, wasn’t it windy though, we had seagulls flying backwards 😳 😂

[@NewnameSameme]

I’m not surprised the gulls were flying backwards during storm Kathleen 😂. Southwold is beautiful. I like the Harbour area and the ferry across to Walberswick.

[@stigg333]

Lovely video thanks, that wind looked very strong! Stay well and have a great weekend.

[@NewnameSameme]

Thank you Stigg. You have a good weekend too.

[@judithward4862]

Thank you for a lovely afternoon out and I am very attached to my tent 😂

This isn't an unkind comment, but the pulling on the rope at 5:07 is highly dangerous and if there is only one lesson here, use the posts and let go when the rope is under strain. Far too many people get pulled into the water unintentionally in circumstances like this and we have already seen a number of incidents on the Broads this year and it is only April. Please do not try to hold on to a boat with a rope like this, at the very least you will get rope burns! As for the water quality - well I have already commented on one outflow near Norwich that hasn't stopped discharging lovely smelling frothy stuff for several years!

[@NewnameSameme]

Thank you for the great advice. Very much appreciated. 🛥️

[@Candyflames123]

Love your videos! Just got back today from a break on the broads a couple of very windy days!! we are regulars and find that generally people are very helpful!

[@NewnameSameme]

Thank you for watching them. 🛥️⛵️📸 Storm Kathleen certainly made it very windy. Can you actually sleep at night when it’s that windy ? Hope you had a lovely time despite the weather.

[@stephenshippam9374]

Great video yet again the power of the wind is very surprising.look forward to your next video,

[@NewnameSameme]

Thank you Stephen. Tides and winds are scary. Pushing a cruiser backwards and they loose control 😱

[@Elena-love]

Wow 😮 like 💯💯 awesome video 📸🔥💪🔥💪🔥🫅👈🎁🌺💖 thanks you my friend 🙏

[@grahamgetsabout2672]

Hi Lisa, plenty of activity at Ludham bridge. Nerve racking when your on holiday 🥰😍❤️😘👍

[@NewnameSameme]

What about the poor boat that sank at How Hill 😱⛵️ poor people. If you were both here in that you’d be filming a cooking video through it. Titled…. Cooking up a storm 🤣🤣 hope you are both ok x

[@grahamgetsabout2672]

@@NewnameSameme hi Lisa, one of our subscribers told us they had passed a sunken boat. I didn’t know it was one of hunters. That would have been terrifying. The last time we hired a half decker it was really windy and we were warned it could go over. That put Wendy off so much I don’t think we could go out in a strong wind again. Stick to the coffee and cake is the answer. Just relax 🥰😍❤️😘👍

[@NewnameSameme]

@grahamgetsabout2672 stick to land too 😀 have a lovely weekend you 2.

[@gordonsimpson3235]

That's what I like about you Leasa....sooo kind. I am afraid I wouldn't claim to be so sympathetic. Most locals love nothing better than being entertained by the hirers! Just as well there are good people around 👏 In retrospect we were very cruel.

[@NewnameSameme]

Thank you Gordon. It’s the people who helped the cruisers when they got into difficulties that are the kind ones. All they wanted to do was go under the bridge but the wind and tide had other ideas. I used to think I’d like to have my own boat one day. After what I see on a weekly basis, I’ll stick to being on land. Hats off to those who make it look so easy. 🙌🛥️⛵️

[@lorithorpe3502]

WOW , such strong winds , it's awefull when that happens , & especially when everyones watching lol , i always find it's worse at acle & st bennets for mooring in the wind , that big boat looked verry nice , not my style of boat , but it's still nice , if only i could win the lottery lol .

[@NewnameSameme]

It’s definitely my style Lori 😂 it reminds me of the boat moored at Brundall few years ago which had “staff” onboard. Looked amazing. 🛥️🍾🥂

[@davidoakley2722]

Was that the same Summer Craft day boat I took you for a trip on when were there.

[@NewnameSameme]

I think it was . I did look at its name but now remember what it was. I’d never seen their day boats until the day we went for a trip along the river….. and since then I’ve seen them 5 times. Strange isn’t it. Hope you are both well.

[@malcy34]

I said i was going to watch this video..than i forgot.....😁 however i have now corrected that....i think the capsize family were very lucky considering what happened a little earlier in the year.....and i must say...Jupiter looks a very very nice vessel.......

Wait until you see what today’s is about 🤦🏻‍♀️

@@NewnameSameme i'll keep an eye out for that.... i will not forget..!!!!!!!!

Why are folks fishing there it’s the closed season?

[@NewnameSameme]

I do explain it in the video 🎣

[@FC-rc8nk]

@@NewnameSameme would be better to report to Broads Authority

[@NewnameSameme]

@FC-rc8nk I explain in the video that the Broads Ranger appeared and told them it was the closed season.

[@SW-cu6bw]

Such strong winds at Ludham. Must be frightening for any inexperienced holiday maker on the water. Coffee and cake AGAIN? Poor Judith having to stay in a tent when it is so windy! Hope she got some sleep. From what I have read there is such a high bacteria level in most of the rivers in the UK due to bad practices by the water companies. I shall eagerly await to hear more news on your podcast. Never doubt yourself Leasa. It will be fine. You have such a lovely voice to listen to. Take care and enjoy the weekend as the weather is looking good.

[@NewnameSameme]

Thank you SW, I’m stuck with it at a certain point, so more research is required. These things are never easy 🤦🏻‍♀️ but I’m determined to find out ha ha. Judith is home , she survived the storm. ⛺️ she needs to get herself a camper van 🚐

[@SW-cu6bw]

@@NewnameSameme You and Judith doing a road trip. That would be fun!

[@NewnameSameme]

@@SW-cu6bw well she’s an extremely busy person, so I doubt I’ll see her for ages. Then she’s on holiday and I’m then on holiday the day she returns 😂 . Do you mean a road trip to go Live ?

[@SW-cu6bw]

@@NewnameSameme I was thinking of you and Judith in a camper van touring the Broads Video!😂😂😂

[@NewnameSameme]

@@SW-cu6bw no 😂😂😂😂😂 She would go and do that with her camping friends. Camper vans arnt for sharing, hence why she’s in a tent and the others in their camper vans. I’d definitely have a camper van but I’d never share with anybody. I’d car camp on a proper camping site, I’ve considered doing that but I would probably camp in a tent. Endless options SW. are you and the girls going on holiday?

[@lindaclark3721]

do you know why the wooden boat is still moored at the 24hrs moorings at ludham its been there weeks

[@NewnameSameme]

I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🛥️ You could try contacting the Broads Authority and ask them. Thank you for watching. 📸

[@ynys_mon6928]

I try to avoid Ludham Bridge like the plague when it’s windy! It’s a bit easier not being moored at Stalham.

[@NewnameSameme]

I’ve seen boats struggle in the tide and wind before but never to the extent of being pushed away from the bridge before. Boat after boat. Quite scary to watch.

[@Jonathan-hl9vb]

Lisa...you can fish only at man made commercial pools...but not the rivers unless you fish for eels ... JONATHAN

[@NewnameSameme]

Yes, watch yesterday’s video 🎣 at Ludham Bridge…

[@johngaskell1467]

Had two men giving me advice when I was returning to the marina that I am based at . Unfortunately , one man thought that my mooring was on the other side of the jetty . Forward , no backwards , no the other way . At least I knew they were kind enough to help .

[@NewnameSameme]

Every time I’m out filming, I see people helping others. It’s lovely to see. 🛥️⛵️

Good luck with your Spotify content - am sure it'll be as fantastic as your KZbin vids! 🙂

That is so kind thank you. I’ve had to stop and have a break for the weekend, I’ve no ideal what I’m doing wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️. All I want to do is delete 4 segments 😂 Then it’s ready . I’ll get there eventually. Thank you again, L

​@NewnameSameme I'd offer assistance if I could but I've no experience of generating Spotify content! But am sure you'll get there, and part of your success is your voice, your personal touch, talking direct to your audience so am sure Spotify will work well for you 🙂

[@NewnameSameme]

@@BeautifulNorfolk aww thank you 😊. Bizarrely, I’m finding the podcast speaking so much easier than a video voiceover but essentially, they’re the exact same thing 😂 Anyway, enjoy the rest of your weekend, thank you for watching and supporting my channel. ⛵️🛥️📸

Was at How Hill on this day - a sailboat sunk along the quay

[@NewnameSameme]

Yes, poor people ⛵️. The next day the boat was being taken back to the boat yard.

[@SAWEG236]

It was our first trip on the Broads and we had a hybrid cruiser. We crossed Barton Broad on our way to Ludham Bridge in that wind. Got to How Hill and lost power..Engineer came out. Lovely guy spent 2hrs with us and drove us to Ludham Bridge where we moored for the night. It was very windy but the next day I would say Potter Heigham was worse - very high water.

[@NewnameSameme]

@SAWEG236 oh my goodness. Don’t let it put you off visiting the Norfolk Broads. Good that it was quickly fixed. I can’t remember a boat of any type sinking like that before. Hope you enjoyed Ludham Bridge. One of my favourite places to film at.

[@SAWEG236]

We had a brilliant time. Its so beautiful. My great grandma and great greats came from Old Catton - never been to Norfolk before but we are coming back. Great to see on your filming that that boat was recovered. There were a whole load of those boats moored at How Hill that afternoon. It was pretty grim.

[@NewnameSameme]

@SAWEG236 yes they were a big group and hired several. That’s seems to be a popular thing to do.
