TO CRUISE OR NOT TO CRUISE.....!!

Having spent the last two days getting the boat ready to cruise, today was the day we were due to set off for a little wander up the Ashby Canal.  The weather forecast for today was bad..... heavy rain and strong winds, and, sure enough, for once the forecasters were right.    However, everything was on the boat ready to cruise, all the food had been loaded etc.   so what to do?   Discretion (i.e. THE WIFE) prevailed and we moved on to the boat and spent the rest of the day and evening on the boat at the bottom of the garden!!   The winds have now died down but it is still raining and cold, so in the end we made the right decision.  The forecast for tomorrow is much better so up early and make an early start. That's the plan anyway....

Hi Mike

Passed you today on the Atherstone flight (around lock 4) before I realized you were fellow bloggers. Think I was quite polite. Welcome to the world of constant cruisers.

Alas we probably don't comply with your definition of CC and we possibly only live on the boat. You'll have to brief the wife not to talk to us the next time we pass.

See ya
Pete
