More about this scene
There are windmills all over the Norfolk Broads. To give them their correct name, they are wind pumps, used to keep the water flowing from low-lying areas. A holiday cruiser is tied up as the yacht alongside poles out into the river before lifting his sail. This is known locally as 'quanting'.
