We departed from home about 14:00 hoping to be down at Fambridge by not much after 16:00. Fat chance! At Huntingdon, the A14 was at a standstill and there were reported long delays on the M11 in the vicinity of Standsted so we doubled back and took the A1 southbound then cut across to Cambridge and took the A14 down to pick up the A12 at Ipswich. We finally arrived a good hour and a half later than we might have hoped after a less than fun 3 and a half hour journey. Ho hum.
Mark and I took the tender down to the mooring and brought Brigantia alongside the pontoon for the night leaving the tender on the mooring. We had a brew up and then Mark and I got on with fitting the new shroud covers whilst Jane and Heather unloaded the car and sorted things out below decks. A meal and a drink on board were followed by an early night for all.
