The last few weeks are best described as hectic, disruptive, and best forgotten about!
To draw a line under it all we had a good Long weekend on the boat.
First up fetch the dinghy - the pool is getting quite weedy so instead of oars full of hairweed I decided a hybrid punt/paddle approach would be better - worked well bar for the mother of all bollockings from Lucy and Mrs Gazza for not having me life jacket on - to be fair you can stand knee deep in a few places after the prolonged winter flooding 🤔
Next stop - the pub!
First pint since lockdown 🍻👍👌
overnight at Friends of the Nene Peartree Farm mooring - peace and tranquility 👍
Friday and Saturday were busy - so much so we didn’t get any pictures! We had friends stay over in their camper van, great time had catching up, drinking beer and messing about in boats (even in the grip of a thunderstorm, skin is waterproof and clothes dry!)
Sunday the sun reappeared....
The EA’S contractors had fetched their work boat (just visible in the background - blue with red strip and a gert big tyre strapped to the stern) out for a run - it’s powered by a V12 air cooled Deutz and has a fairly substantial blade on it, substantial enough to clear most of the aquatic growth allowing the faithful old evinrude to take on ferry boat duties!
Marc Bolan sang about ride a white swan - he missed the mark a little!
The kids had a super time messing around with inflatables, bar was back open and some sense of normality seemed to return to the club.
Two week hiatus and then we are full steam ahead for te exotic delights of Peterborough 👍🚤🍻
