At last Paul has caught a fish, the first one since we got onto the cut. There have been many a time when all the fishing equipement was going to end up in the drink mainly because Paul's patience level isnt too high. But last night around 9.30 he caught a really nice fish so we are now staying put for another day to see if he can catch another.
Boating traffic has been high today there is a boat moored on the lock bollards but it transpires that they got caught on the cill in the lock and have dammaged their prop. At the moment they are waiting for help to arrive. Will leave here tomorrow just cruise for a few hours and see where we end up.

About Me
- nb piston broke
- After years of working,Paul and I retired early. I worked in accounts departments and Paul spent 39 years as an Electrical Mechanical engineer in the industrial refrigeration industry. Paul also served time as a refrigeration engineer officer with P&O, to-ing and fro-ing to NZ. In 2001 we decided to move to Spain where we bought an old Spanish finca that needed total renovation. We took our 1500 Goldwing with us to Spain planning to explore the country. But because of the amount of work that needed doing to the finca we were unable to get full use of our lovely motorbike. So it was shipped back to England where it was sold. It took us 3 1/2 years to finish the house, by which time Paul was hankering after another bike so we bought a new Honda VTX 1300 cruiser which was a pleasure to use with our biker friends. In 2007 the writing was on the wall so we decided to return to the UK and bought our lovely narrowboat which was a big step for me as I had never dreamt of living on a narrowboat. Paul has had sailing boats in the past and regulary crewed on a Medway Bawley Gaffer and raced in many local events. We are continuous cruisers planning to explore as much as we can.
