March week: Day 1

I’ve had a couple of days at the Country2Country festival at the O2 in London, and came up to the boat from there this afternoon (lots of photos of C2C on Instagram — @adamporternews if you’re interested).  I did food shopping on the way.  Once on the boat, I got a bit of a shock when I rolled up the blind on the front doors to find a duck in the cratch!  She was trying to get out, so I went back out lift the cover from the outside.  This video isn’t great, because it’s difficult to hold a phone and lift a cratch cover, but it gives you an indication of how keen she was to escape.

I don’t  think she’d been there long, because the well deck wasn’t the mess it could have been, but I’m glad I was here today to let her out.

I topped up the water tank and generally got ready to leave the marina.  I only did a mile down to Cosgrove.  Adrian is on his way, so this is a reasonable place to come to.

1 miles, 0 locks.
