Escape for a Few Hours

We managed to escape to Jubilee for a few hours on Monday. Lit a fire to defrost the windows. Spent some time checking over the boat and cleaning away mould and leaves from the cabin sides.
We put the new BW licence on show. At £5 odd minimum wage that took some earning, and the Boat Safety is due in April. We went to some boat fitters for quotes for a bit of work to prepare her. Alasdair Lawrence did the last certification. We had hoped to be living aboard before now but finances dictate otherwise. The house needs work, the boat needs work and well, you can guess the rest.
We shall take her to Jane and John at North Kilworth Wharf for a little TLC soon.

Anyway we had a good lunch at The Red Lion Crick and enjoyed a freezing afternoon on the boat, arrived home at 8.30pm for chicken fricasse and mexican rice. All in all, a good day. Now back to work! Mr.T.
