Today has been a getting stuff done type of day. This morning Adrian went off to the local laundrette to do some washing. We have a washing machine on board, but without easy access to water in this marina to top up the tank, we thought land-based facilities would be a better option. They have dryers too, which is a plus.
While the washing was on, Adrian took the car over the road to a hand car wash place. Meanwhile, I did a few boat jobs back on board.
This afternoon we have been shopping, and a hotel boat came into the marina, presumably for a change of passengers.
We’ve also made a few decisions about what to do for the next few weeks while the Macc is still shut. We were always planning to head out for a few trips, using Festival Park as a base. But without water or electricity at the pontoons, it doesn’t really seem worth it. So we have found somewhere else to park the car, and will be heading out on Wednesday. Tomorrow is a big day, as Kingley Vale goes in the water, so we’ll be up at Braidbar for that.

What an exciting day ahead you have. Possibly another emotional moment for you both. Enjoy.

Launderettes were always a recurring feature of our family narrowboat holidays. Like pump-outs and canal-side pub lunches. Nice ones, nasty ones. The launderette in Marlow was pleasant, I vaguely recall. And not forgetting the people you meet in them!
