We left our mooring at the junction quite early this morning, taking advantage of the calm weather. We had a lovely slow cruise with a milky sun just breaking through the clouds. The plan was just to get half way between the junction and Crick and that is what we achieved. There were a few boats about and I think the nice weather made everyone more amiable as there was a lot of cheery “good mornings”.
We still have a few things to do and with good weather forecast for the weekend hopefully these will be done. One thing that has finally been finished is the treating of the new cheek fender, at the moment it is drying out in the trees after having a good dowsing in a bitumen/white spirit mix next thing to go in is the button Paul made.
There has certainly been some work done on this stretch as the hedges have been trimmed to within an inch of their lives, it looks nice and tidy but it looks as though all the cuttings have been thrown in the canal, still at least the dogs don't get thorns in their paws.
Paul is chilling after 3 hours on the tiller the fishing rod is out and I have just come back from an nice walk to the village.
