First Boat Help/Don't Hurt Me

Since I'll be with my young family 90% of the time for at least the next five years, the number of times I'll be crossing the broads is low. And, if things go well and we can get summers off in a year or two (we're teachers working summers right now), those days would more than likely be during the week, which we've heard are much slower.

The "Broads" being a challenge is typically due to weather not boat traffic per se. Thus can be tough on any given day of the week

Meredith Bay & the Weirs area on the other hand can be challenging at times weekends due to boat traffic & cross-chop in the afternoon's

There has been many a Saturday/ Sunday that Broads are calm flat waters until the wind picks up.

Just so you know
