Daisypath Anniversary tickers

Wednesday 12 March 2014

It's where it started..

Setting off this morning we were well wrapped up.  The chilly morning mist lingered as we worked our way down the Hillmorton flight in the company of Nb. Tui, a single handler who was very efficient.  Both boats were heading towards the Tesco's at Brownsover and as we arrived the sun won its battle and the mist cleared.

With the food shopping done Joe left me to get it put away while he went off to buy important things in Wickes.  We had a quick lunch then set off towards Brinklow Marina where we are staying overnight.  We had been contacted by Derek and Sheila who were fellow moorers at Brinklow Marina when we first started this boating nonsense.  It seems Derek and Sheila want to take their boat, Nb. Clarence, over to the Fens this summer and were seeking some guidance.  So tonight we are off out to a pub of Derek's choice, armed with navigation guides, keys and the specific windlass they will need for their adventure.
