With the forecast set fair and the promise of lots of sun, we move the boat all of 100 yds, so the solar panels can reap the benefit. A quiet day with a few boat chores to do . . . add yet more silicone grease to the stern gland(it was dripping whilst stationary), fix the wooden seat (with the help of the neighbouring boat Frodo’s Dream), paint the chimney surround, regrout a bit of bathroom tile & clean the floor. Viv went off to walk the dog and found an easy route down to the river Trent. So,Toby had a swim. Just deciding when to leave . . it s a nice spot here.
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
