Broads Cruiser Rescue - Gt Yarmouth Maritime Festival 2017
Ойын-сауық
The moment demonstrations turned to a real live rescue at the 2017 Great Yarmouth Maritime Festival, as a broads cruiser looses power and drifts under the Haven bridge in a strong ebb tide.
Fortunately, Norfolk Police Broads Beat, Gt Yarmouth & Gorleston ILB and Rapid Response Water Sports Rescue were on scene within seconds.

Owen Williams Thanks Owen, it's all about the editing 😉. Not bad for just the camera on my phone 👍
That’s the last time I let the wife drive while I take a shower
Very dramatic footage! Must have been very scary for those on board! I couldn't see if they had life vests on, hope they did! But alls well that ends well. Great work by RNLI, Broads Authority and other boat.

Sogort Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Well caught,, however, unless the cruiser was part of the demonstration,, it should not have been anywhere near the haven bridge , there are signs all along the approach ,, unless the power failure was well before the bridge. The Ebb current there is really strong, and a lot of damage was avoided. well done guys and gurls!

chris bond It wasn't part of the demonstration and Yes I believe it lost power near Asda because I noticed it drifting sideways towards the bridge a few minutes before I started filming. Thanks for watching.

chris bond The sign only applies to hire craft, the one in the film I think is a private boat
boy racers are about, they have to have their blue lights flashing, of course, that makes all the difference. (not)

It’s to keep other vessels out of the way , obviously you are not overburdened with common sense.
