Sandbars on Winni?

Braun Bay is pretty awesome during the week, if you can make that work. Weekends are definitely louder and much busier!

Maybe its just me but many times I like just drifting in the middle of the Broads and watching life go by.

We have several places that we will go that are quiet, and we are anchored in 20-30 ft or water. Normally don't even have to put out a second anchor.

Even better is your idea. With the wind layed down, we will go out and depending on what way the little bit of wind is blowing, we just kill the engine, put up the bimini, lower the swim ladder, and watch the world go by.

Sometimes we even make a game of it: we guess beforehand how many boats will pass within 50 ft of us while there is a 1.5 mile radius of open lake around us.

Sometimes those boats that come within 1/2 mile of you (like me) are simply passing respectfully close/yet far away enough away not to disturb to make sure the Captain doesn't need assistance.

In the past 10 years I've actually had 3-4 instances where they did, so I don't plan on changing my practices ....... not that you were complaining, I get it!

^ This. We helped out three boaters last year who were not floating by choice!

Be careful what you ask for!!!

True story....

I was explaining this to a friend last year as we were cruising through the broads..... he didn't believe me. Until we came upon a boat floating on the broads and as we do... two naked men, one climbing up the swim latter, the other on their boat!

We sped up and continued on our way!
