Hi Folks Sorry it's been a while since I last posted but we've been hanging about in the middle of the river without I/net access. Also when I lasted posted something went funny and I was afraid we would loose some stuff from the site and I had to email Weebly who now seem to have put it all right - thank goodness. Well, after a great weekend, a couple of super evenings with old friends, who stored their boat in Exeter - Lyn and Paul on Sareda - a final visit to Tony and Jan's and a final music night, we set off down river on Wednesday (12 June) spending a few nights anchored in a couple opf lovely spots we've anchored in previously and on Saturday pm decided to go into the marina on Monday - no point paying for a Sunday when we need to do shopping etc!!!! However, the river (running hard) and the weather (blowing a houlie!) decided against us and it was not until yesterday (Thursday) that the conditions were right to come in!! The boat really does not handle if there's a wind blowing and I 'm still VERY nervous about getting off onto the pontoon if she's not almost stopped and touching it. Yesterday though was perfect and we berthed the boat like the professional Chris is! Right against the pontoon and at no speed at all - BRILLIANT driving. We're now provisioning up - gas, diesel, food and, of course, those spare parts that you only need when you don't have them! We expect to be here for about 2 weeks - or may be longer if we need to order some bits so hopefully I'll post again soon. |
