Arrived on Friday, boat in boatyard having canoe bars fitted and water pump valve replaced. Stayed there overnight and spent evening with Jenny and Sid who were in the marina on their boat. Jolly evening talking boating and people.
Returned to our mooring in the morning to continue painting. Thank goodness some reasonable weather to do it now. Sad to find our mooring chain which was padlocked to bank had been stolen in only 2 days absence. Depressing to think someone can be so small minded and it can only be a fellow boater which is even more depressing.
Sunday evening now and our friends have left, Ani has coach lines finished and we have experimented with our camping washing machine, actually quite efficient but resulted in us running out of water! Travelled the short distance to the water point to fill up at about 5pm to absolute summertime chaos. Everyone deciding to fill at same time.
The new exciting Cobb BBQ is now busy cooking a whole joint of beef - Pete in seventh heaven as are all the passing dogs on the towpath.
We now don't think we will set sail until Tuesday, because we need to recover a little from all this work. It's a tough life on the cut.
