Legends from the Norfolk Broads was inspired from continuously cruising the Norfolk Broads on a Bruce Roberts sailboat for several years. A chance encounter which was never planned but fell into place quite unexpectedly. One man, his dog and a sailboat lead to over four years of full time boating and living on a boat on these enigmatic waterways. Quite simply a privilege which many dream of doing but just dont quite ever get around to it.
