Whilst covering "old" water this short trip proved a revelation,given that the long-standing electrical "problems" were accidentally resolved as was the new overheating problem, so the boat we finished the trip with was the boat we should have had 2 years ago, had it not been for those twits at Stensen/MCC not having the intelligence or the will to face-up to the fact it was their fault all along. We do not expect even a hint of an apology from arrogant Eddie, he of the ludicrous suggestions we only cruise between marina's with electric hook-ups, only open our fridge once a day and cruise at 2000 revs, sufficient for water skiing and for breaking the national canal speed limit by at least 200%.
If a Martian space ship ever lands on earth and Eddie and/or his siblings,get taken as hostages the Martians view of human intelligence would prove unbelievably embarrassing.
The Bernie Winters of boatbuilding.
Karen, Steve and the two of us made a leisurely return to our respective marina's at Stensen and Barton Turns and it even rained to mark the occasion. Tardis Two was expertly reversed by Lynne into the visitor mooring prior to our return home once the car had been started by our faithfull technical workshop team. I will have to investigate why the battery goes flat so fast if the car is not used.
We loaded the car with piles of dirty clothes between showers, adding Sadie as a final resort because we expect to be on land for a few days to visit a very sick friend in hospital, I need to see my GP on Monday and Lynne her dentist on Tuesday, then we aim to get back on the canals soon thereafter .
It rained virtually all day and long into the evening today, which is some consolation.
