This is Steve & Viv Carter's log of the trips and travails on the narrowboat Adagio – liveaboards from October 2015. Then back to the shore, in Trefin, Wales from November 2019. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." (Mark Twain)” narrowboatadagio@gmail.com cranog5@gmail.com

Yes, tis the Big Day, 21 again . . . ” I’ve got the key of the door . . . . pity I can’t remember where the door is!” Bless.
The rain continues! Records still broken – starting to come in the boat now . . . . could do with a dry spell and some warmth.
Weather station keeps failing – seems it doesn’t like weather! However, it has recorded some of the torrential rain. I think we’ve nearly had 6 inches this month.
Aha! The CRT contractors (Rothen group) or International Rescue turn up with Thunderbird 6! Hopefully to get to work on the “problem” during this week.
The forecast is getting better . . . and our mate Mark is due to visit today. And to prove it – he’s here. We’re thinking of heading off on a Saga trip – maybe to Bangor, by train, see the Menai straits and visit llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
