In these strange times I have the chance to move the boat (slightly) so I thought I'd include in in the blog. We came back to the boat just before all of this virus thing went mental back on 14th March for the purpose of preparing the boat to go on the slipway for blacking, little did we realise just how things were going to change in such a short space of time.
Now it would appear that we are going to have to stay on the boat for the foreseeable future since, with no car and no wish to use public transport, and no legitimate reason to travel under the Government guidelines we are going to have to stay here.
The slight move we have made with the boat is about 100 metres across the basin to the slipway where we've now got the boat out of the water and today I've started preparing the boat hull for blacking, I'm hoping to start painting on Sunday.I have until next Friday to complete the job then get the opportunity to have another 'little cruise', back across the basin to the mooring. It may well turn out to be the only cruise we get this year, but in the current climate, thankful for small mercies.
