Overview
An idyllic summer day on board the yacht ‘Lulworth’ from Wroxham on the Norfolk Broads. The awnings are rolled away while the bacon sizzles below deck - there’s plenty of eggs for everyone at the moment. The cabin roof is lowered and the sail rigged and hoisted for adventure. The family also enjoy a picnic lunch laid out in style in the cockpit of their varnished wood home, before mooring at the bank for the night.
