Having not posted a blog of last year's journey, I've decided to try hard this year to do one and keep it up to date.
We had planned to start in early March as we hope to get down to Bath and Bristol via the Kennet and Avon canal and as it tends to get rather busy in the season we wanted to be ahead of the rush. However this year it was my turn to thwart our plans as I managed to put my back out doing the simplest of things, sticking photographs in an album! For a few days I was not really able to move around and the thought of crawling around the boat putting her back together after the winter was not a pleasant one. However after some rest and a good dose of manipulation its now operating as well as it ever does and we got to the marina last Wednesday.
We've spent a few days doing odd jobs and for once coincided being at the marina with the owners of the boat next door who we always seem to meet as we were arriving and they leaving or the other way round so we had a very pleasant evening with them getting rid of some of the ballast we had brought with us (full wine bottles).
Our cratch cover rather suffered last year and Sarah wants it repaired before we leave which is hopefully happening next week so as soon as that's done we will be on our way.
