The easy life 2015

I put my full set of thermals on in anticipation of transporting the boat to MCC for the electrics cure, only for the day to transform into tropical sunshine and temperatures. By the time we had sedately completed the 6 hour cruise the top of my head was sunburnt and my body had endured a mobile sauna, but very pleasant, thank you.  We moored on the canal just outside Stensen Marina entrance whilst we awaited the mooring position instructions requested by letter several days previously, without reply.

Eddie was somewhat confused when we presented ourselves in his office this morning, having only just returned from a week's holiday at Butlins in Skegness, considerably less exotic than his prevous holidays on his yacht  in Spain.

Most of the Marina residents welcomed us back during the morning and we learned MCC no longer produce complete boats , merely fitting-out sail away shells and egg-shaped mini caravans. A slippery slope but no great surprise. Friends on the Marina ran us back to Barton for our car and we returned home for a Sadie check.  She seemed fine, if a little manic, but very vocal as is normal these days.

On a personal note the day on the boat in near-perfect conditions merely highlighted my perfect life style for the future, no pressures and no addled brain,as opposed to today with all the confusion of swopping marina's and shifting the cars accordingly. My damaged brain struggles to unravel complicated plans and logistics, deal with meeting lots of long -lost friends and forgotten associates causing far more confusion than necessary.
