IWA National -Redhill

Oh - the joys of being on the B.O.D.S moorings - an electricity supply and water!!! I have it on good authoority that B.O.D.S stands for Builders, Operators and Dismantlers - if that is true then it is a very apt title.
For us in Waterspace today was much the same as yesterday, EXCEPT..... the cake that Pat bakes us each day is a different, we've had fruit cake, lemon cake and today a Victoria sponge with blueberry jam filling, it is definitely a hard life being on Waterspace!!
Tony took an early bath today allbeit he only sat in the water managing to keep his feet and top dry, the sight of him wandering around in boxers whilst waiting for his shorts to dry has had to be censored from any photographs. The order of a baptism in the River Soar seems to be oldest first, then next oldest, I should be alright for a few days then!!!
We managed to finish the hold offs and landing stages on F section today and tomorrow will start on D section. My mooring as harbourmaster is on D section and I have already put the order in, I want decking, pretty little solar lights, a built in BBQ and the grass mown, electricity and water would be a bonus but I know that that will not happen.
