After a quiet day yesterday with only the F1 of any real
interest (for me that is) I was feeling a little too relaxed this morning, a
bit bored actually, it was spitting with rain on and off so I was not sure whether to
move or not but it brightened a little so at 10am I quickly got myself ready
and cast off the stern rope just in time for two boats to appear, so I stood
and waited for them to move slowly past then off I went.
An uneventful cruise along passing a few boats heading the
other way and through the narrow former tunnel section

Just after this point there is a narrow bend and as I
approached I saw the bow of another boat moving fairly swiftly towards me so I
sounded the horn and watched as he threw his boat into reverse and then moved
over towards the bank just clattering into it slightly, as he passed me he
shouted “it’s a bit narrow there” so I said “it gets a lot narrower but at
least you can see ahead”
And that was my cruise, exciting stuff. I’ve moored just before the Wharf pub at Fenny,
¾ of my boat is before the marker post that says 14days without charge and ¼ is
after on the 48hr section so I guess if I stay and get a penalty I only have to
pay ¼ of any penalty charge J
It has rained steadily since mooring up around 12, some boats have there fires lit, a bit different from Saturday, all the
moorings are now full and there has been very few boats moving past, the
forecast is for much of the same all week, so Kindle fully charged and see if
the urge to move again overrules the urge to stay dry.
