Lights, camera, action, plan B.

A quiet night, as you would expect moored next to a churchyard. early start towards our car pick-up point but opted  for a late change of plan as we approached Barton marina in ever increasing winds. Barton is our preferred winter moorings for Tardis Two. the owner/manager is very helpful and friendly so we opted to moor there for a few days  whilst revisiting the place where Sadie went missing. The journey takes 1hour by car as apposed to 3 days by boat. None of the locals had seen her but re confirmed they would phone us if they did. Walking up the drive of a house near the canal a small black and white cat ran to greet us. She looked and sounded remarkably like Sadie but turned out to be Noodles, a cat belonging to the house owner. Hopes were temporarily raised and dashed. But the search continues. Despite the strong wind we somehow managed to get Tardis Two into the marina and onto a visitors pontoon, although it was a great struggle and required advice and assistance from a number of experienced boaters, without whom we would probably be halfway across the English Channel by now. We return to land-home in the morning as Phoebe has a lump on her side a vet needs to look at and I need my second bullet wound checking by a doctor. I had two small fits today, the first for several weeks.
