Logistical planning meant we had the car, loaded with stuff, in London this morning — so that after work we could drive up to the Crick Boat Show. The show is much smaller than usual, with under half the number of show boats, and a reduced footprint for the whole site. However, it was pretty busy; arriving late meant we were in a fairly distant car park, and the number of people about was bigger than I’d expected. Lots of the boats had queues of people waiting.
We looked round the show (which didn’t take long) and spoke to quite a few people including the owners of Momentous, which was a boat test boat about a year ago. After lunch, I contacted the owners of Provincetown, which is moored at Crick, Stu and Peter, who post on Instagram. We met in the beer tent, and ended up spending several hours chatting together (and those who weren’t driving got through a number of bottles of wine). We decided to eat before leaving the show, then drove down to our marina, stopping in Towcester for a few bits of shopping on the way.
