A bit of glorious sun


Yesterday the skies cleared, the sun was out and so were we! We needed to fill up with water and with it being such fine weather Leigh suggested we go for a jolly.


The sun was gloriously hot on our backs and it felt so good to be moving.


We took the canal towards Nottingham and at the enormous winding point near to the rubbish tip off Nottingham's ringroad, I did a full 360degrees as a beautiful three point turn! The wind picked up on the return journey and we had to give her a bit more throttle.

Leigh took over at Beeston Lock to wind the boat in a very tight area and we stopped at the facilities for water. Somehow, we have lost the adaptor to the water pipe and a fellow boater lent us his connector. With a full tank of water we moved on to the mooring point for the night.
