Norfolk Broads cruiser stuck against Potter Heigham bridge! 26 Aug 2020

Wedged against Potter Heigham bridge after apparently trying to turn around and failing to complete the turn, this cruiser become wedged against the bridge and its base. It looks as if the hire skipper may not have had much basic instruction when picking up the boat, the main clue to this being that he reversed the helm when he went astern, but failed to correct this when he went ahead again, swinging in the wrong direction. The wind and tide also took him towards the bridge - a factor you really have to remember on a windy day like this. It's worth remembering that steering only functions when going ahead, and there's a flow of water over the rudder, and that the water you are floating on is also moving, carrying your boat with it.
