Tuesday 9 July 2024 - Day Three
After spending the afternoon and night Yesterday on South Walsham Broad this morning it was time to return to our mooring at Wayford.

We awoke early, for us, and I took my first photo at 07:26. As you can see, the cloud had rolled in, over South Walsham Broad overnight.

With breakfast out of the way we raised the mud weight and began our return. A short way up Fleet dyke we encountered two moored boats. It was Calipso (Q753) that caught my eye, one of the few Hampton Safaris still available to hire. It's also interesting by having had a chequered history. It doesn't appear ever to have left Broads hire fleets and yet it was re-registered withe the Broads Authority in 1988.
Up the River Ant

There was a time when I regularly took photographs of the bridge height markers at Wroxham. More for future reference than anything I took a photo of this one half a mile short of Ludham Bridge.

At least the height marker at the bridge coincided with the reading seen earlier. That doesn't appear to be true of all markers at Wroxham.

I didn't have to to check which of the Hunter's yachts it was that we passed as we approached the moorings at How Hill. We seemed to catch many more still asleep than we had on the way downriver.
Arrival at Wayford

By 10:17 we were safely tied up at our home mooring with the last of our belongings piled on the decking ready to shift to the car.
