Originally, this weekend was planned as a sailing weekend with Mark and Heather but the best laid plans and all that!
Firstly, we went and bought another boat! Then Mark and Heather took a rain check so in the end just Jane and I headed down the A14.
The Friday traffic was busier than usual but moving well apart from a bit of a hold up around Chelmsford so we made reasonable time. Kev was chatting to Toby on the pontoon when we arrived and ran me down to the mooring in his dory which saved the effort of digging our tender out
We've travelled light for once so one trolley load was all it took to get our gear aboard. Then it was up to the pub for a meal and some inevitable beer
Got chatting about narrowboats and canals, ships and boats and things. Ended up rather later back on board than we probably intended!
Tomorrow, well today now actually, we drive up to Tollesbury to sign the paperwork and pick up the keys to the new boat.
