Lady Celine passing us at 0930
The downside of sharing a boat is having to leave it in sparkling condition for the next owners. If it were exclusively our boat we could leave it however we liked. Still, it keeps it looking good, and benefits us in the long run. It does take quite a long time washing the exterior, sweeping, vacuuming, cleaning the windows etc. though.
Shadow by the hard standing
Just before I thought we'd finished Jan walked over to the OwnerShips office to ask where we should go for fuel and pumpout.
"Moor next to Harlequin", was the instruction. So we pootled over, tied up, and went to the office.
"No, we don't want it there: it won't be seen to until Monday. Could you put it in the marina, please?" Grr. We couldn't go straight in as Bronington was going in just ahead of us.
They made rather heavy weather of it, and we were delayed for what seemed like a long time. The marina had a thin covering of ice, enough to make manoeuvring trickier than usual: Bronington's tactic of going in bow first, then reversing alongside Wigston didn't really pay off. At last we tied up alongside, walked back to the car, and drove home. Another cruise completed: no new ground (water?) this time, but an excellent mini-holiday. Our next trip in Shadow is at Easter, by which time Shadow might be stationed at Tattenhall Marina on the Shroppie.
