Norfolk - Boats, Trains & Seaside We had sailing lessons and all learned really quick how to tack and jibe. We stopped for a picnic lunch before heading out onto Barton Broad, which is where Lord Nelson learnt to sail as a boy. It was wonderful to glide through the water in the beautiful sunshine. In Wroxham we started our exciting canoe journey.  We spent the whole day on the water where we paddled effortlessly with the flow of the river. The wildlife was amazing, we saw fish in the crystal clear water and birds including Grebes, Kingfishers and Canada Geese.  We boarded the Nancy Bee, a 38ft cruiser, and sailed to Horning, the home of the steam ferry.
