back on the river - for bitterns and beer

YC has made his first pilgrimage of the year to the Norfolk Broads for 10 days sailing on the fine craft Stella Genesta.   He sailed for the first week on the Green Wyvern Easter cruise, and then stayed on for the friends and family weekend.  Highlights were hearing a bittern booming overnight at Strumpshaw Fen, quanting into Norwich to moor on the Ribs of Beef pub, and the glorious Easter sunshine.  The top ale award goes to The Wolf brewery "Golden Jackal" 3.7% ABV at the Ribs of Beef - in tip top condition for only £2.50/pint.  Result!
