How things change overnight, I thought I would spend the day erecting security fencing, but, I am actually part of the Waterspace team and this year there is a lot of work for the Waterspace team!!
Today was spent moving pontoons and boats, and then marking out moorings, tomorrow who knows what we will have to do but on Monday we start work in earnest. Each set of boats on some of the moorings have to have scaffold poles affixed to keep them away from the bank and to allow for changes in river levels should we be unfortunate to have some of that dreaded wet stuff that I dare not name, then each set of boats need a little jetty to allow them to get from their boats onto the site, some need forward access, some need rear access.
The whole system has been planned so that even if the river level rises by two feet we will still be able to safely get from our boat onto land and the boat will be on a safe mooring.
The only problem with all this planning was surveying the site which was covered in two foot high stinging nettles, and believe me, theyreally do sting!!
However, once the tractor and mower are fixed, it only needs a shear bolt, but no-one knows where they are and how to fix them as the one person who does know has done a disappearing act for the time being.
Speak to you again tomorrow!!
