Speed Of The Boats

A Memory of Lowestoft.

A general view of the youngsters queuing for their ride on the boating lake was that they wanted the fastest boat, to that end rumour had it that certain boats were quicker than others, and my friends and I would often give up our places in the queue, so that we could have the speedier boats say boat number 7 or number 9, or so we thought. They always seemed quicker when someone else was in them, but unfortunately it proved not to be the case,they never were.
