To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We left Acle at four, being much delayed in lowering and raising the mast, and reached Yarmouth (12 miles) by half-past five ; so we made a pretty quick passage. We laid by the " Ale Stores " for the night, and were very careful to have the yacht strongly moored, for the tide runs fast. We were interested in the way the wherries dropped down out of the North River, with lowered masts, and a chain or weight out over the bows, so as to retard their speed, as they drifted stern first, steering, of... course, by the pressure of the faster- flowing tide against the rudder. We had intended to drop down in a similar way, through the swing bridge just below BACK TO YARMOUTH. 115 us, and to go, by sea, to Lowestoft, a distance of only eight miles ; but as the wind kept getting up, and Breydon was white with foam, we put off making up our minds until the morning, for the disproportionate bowsprits and open wells of the river yachts are not very suitable for sea work. Of course, we strolled upon the pier, and then returned to the quay- side by moonlight.
