We copped for an unusual amount of Friday afternoon traffic so our journey down took nearly two and a half hours.
By the time we arrived at the marina it was dark and getting chilly but fortunately Erbas was easily located just a few berths away from where we left her.
She'd been moved because the berths on the inside of the pontoon are being dredged. Fair enough however I was somewhat annoyed to find that the shore power hadn't been reconnected.
There wasn't a lot of point in buying a metered lead in order to leave her plugged in if she's not plugged in! Apart from maintaining the batteries on trickle charge, the frost heater is critically important. The purpose of the exercise is to avoid having to fully winterise the boat when all is said and done.
Oh well, plugged back in again we got the kettle and heaters on. It took a while to take the chill off but there was no damp which is good.
A simple dinner of bread and soup was followed by watching a film on the laptop then an early night.
