A wonderful day on King's Lynn South Quay during the Hanse Festival. We met lots of people who showed a lot of interest in the boat. Indeed, we might have recruited a couple of new volunteer crew! Visit our website: www.floatourboat.co.uk to read all about us and, of course, to book a trip with us to see the seals and other wildlife in the Great Ouse estuary. The picture shows our stall and the Baden Powell on the background returning from a trip.

Trips are at 11:30, 12:45 and 14:00 but there are very few places available on the quay.

The Baden Powell will be running trips on Hanse Day, Sunday 24th, from 11:30am at subsidised prices. Limited seats are available, bookings are taken on the day. Come along and visit us on King’s Lynn waterfront.

Earlier today, we had the pleasure of attending the unveiling of the Baden Powell model at Trues Yard Museum, built by David Winterton some years ago.

This Saturday 23rd May, Trues Yard will be open free of charge for Hanse Day, offering a great opportunity to explore local history and exhibits. Thanks to Dr Paul Richards and Lindsey Bavin for their support.

Just to assure you that we don't go out if the weather is at all inclement. Too much wind or too wet and we will cancel because its not fair on passengers or crew. This picture was made by AI in about 2 minutes where it found the base picture from the web. All I asked was "a picture of the Baden Powell boat in a storm" Amazing and disturbing in what it can do.
