Thirty five guests joined me aboard Lady Martina in two sessions for a trip out of Ropes Hill Dyke and along the River Bure on the Norfolk Broads. 
Pictures 1. Lady Martina on Horning
Reach passing trip boat "Southern Comfort". 2. Skipper David Broad dancing with Gosia and, of course, watching the helmsman closely!
The route followed was along the Bure and past the village of Horning and then back upstream and into Blackhorse (or Hoveton Little) Broad so that they could see what a "real" Norfolk Broad was. (ie a large lake formed by medievel peat digging rather than a tall guy with little hair)
The party theme was Salsa music and dancing and the happy revellers were dancing on the cabin roof, for'd and aft decks under the watchful and sober eye of myself. ( I had to say that because of my new Broads Authority responsibilities!) 
Once back at Heronshaw, the BBQ and party proper got under way and those present declared that was arguably the best party they had been to in a long while.
