FOOD AT LAST
Back to our boat, and by now Philip has taken Geoffrey’s

Before we reached our next stopping point and leg
stretching session we had gathered what seemed like every
possible type of water bird for mile around. They were chasing
and fighting over a stream of pork pies, sausage rolls,
sandwiches of all kinds mixed with a good choice of fancy cake.

Still no sharks; so the general opinion from the boys was
that if the sharks were not attracted by all that good food, then
there were no sharks in the Norfolk Broads.
