Apologies, dear reader. Since we embarked upon our latest epic cruise I've either been too tired or too busy or both to blog so here's four days for the price of one! I'll break them into seperate posts though
Thursday...
We drove down a little later than intended as Jane had to work an extra hour. The traffic, though, wasn't too bad for once.
We were soon on board and Jane got her head down for a few hours. My mission was to top up the diesel tank after our excursions and exertions abroad. That took 42 litres of BPs finest and then I pottered around tidying things up.
Surprisingly for a weekday the pontoon was getting rather busy (although it would help if people would tie up at one end of a gap or the other, not right in the middle) so I sparked up the engine and nipped alongside before the last space went.
We needed water anyway and being alongside made loading our kit on much easier. Then it was off to Asda for shopping. Then it was put the shopping away! Exciting eh?
With everything done that needed to be done, we cast off and caught the last of the ebb downriver to anchor in the Brankfleet for the night.
Dinner and an early night followed
