	The Broads of Norfolk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Broads, as the Norfolk lakes are called, cannot be seen without admiration; the expanse of tranquil water, the beautiful reed borders, the mills that dot the marshes, and the cattle feeding on the plains, are worthy of a landscape painter's best skill.
		All these Broads are shallow, and surrounded by aquatic vegetation, reeds, rushes, bulrushes, and flags, which are the haunt of many rare birds, and swarm with waterfowl.
		In fact, the naturalist, the botanist, and the landscape painter may well rejoice in the Broads of Norfolk, of which there are many more; but a description of one or two suffices generally for a description of all.

		The Norfolk Broads are one of the major wetland areas of the UK.
		The landscape is distinctive: the low lying land is peppered by lakes called broads which have reed beds and carr woodland at their edges.
		At one time the broads were considered to be natural, formed by glacial action; but in the 1950s scientific research discovered they were man-made diggings for turf or peat which flooded when sea levels rose.

		Norfolk and Suffolk Broads lie to the east of Norwich in East Anglia, England.

	Definition of Norfolk wherry
		The Norfolk wherry is a fl-sailed trader, type of boat on the Norfolk Broads and Suffolk Broads, now part of The Broads National Park, in Norfolk, England.
		Before wherries, there was the Norfolk Keel, a square rigged, transom sterned clinker-built boat, 54 feet by 14 feet, and able to carry 30 tons of goods.
		After 1800, the Norfolk Keel (or 'keel wherry') disappeared, partly because a wherry could be sailed with fewer crew, and it had limited manoeuvrability and lacked speed.

	ShoreBase - Norfolk Broads Tide Calculator
		Since the Norfolk Broads consist of a group of inland lakes and their connecting rivers, the effect of tide may seem of little consequence except around Great Yarmouth, where the passage between the northern and southern waters demands their respect.
		This may not sound very much, but when you consider that the average Broads Authority speed limit is 5mph, (which is measured 'over ground'), your boat speed through the water would therefore be 6mph with an adverse tide, and only 4mph with a favorable tide.
		The calculations (as with all Broads tide predictions) are reasonably accurate as regards high and low water times, but the amount of rise and fall is greatly affected by wind and rain conditions.
