Shouldn't of cleaned the boat as it's raining today

A swan trying to attack the boat to protect its nesting partner.

Left our mooring this morning and the heavens opened, can't understand the British weather, yesterday basking in the sun, today wet n cold, because of the weather we decided not to go far and as we were passing a marina which we were interested in we decided to moor overnight in Wigram turn Marina, so we are hooked up to electric tonight, though no telly to make use of it.

We were low on provision the lady in the marina reception said there was a shop about half a mile away, so off we set on foot, about two miles later we found it, so we got some bits and then returned to the boat as the weather  was awful, so we lit the fire and settled down for the night. A bonus is that they have on site showers, so it's brill standing under the water for a long soak, not like on the boat where we have got to be careful with the water.

We are undecided if we want a home mooring in  a marina as the idea of having the boat was to cruise the canals and rivers, but on the other hand it's good to have a base, so it's somewhere were we can leave the boat safely when we go home and also somewhere to leave the car when we are off boating.

The only thing is that's its pricey for a marina mooring, it great if you are in the marina for a long time and making use of the facilities but we want to be out and about on the canals ....we will have a long think and a discussion about it before we decide.

See you 

Tipping down with rain.
