Cruising in the rain – when will it ever stop! Day 280

Saturday 27th April 280

We wake up to a grim morning and the rain is a constant for most of the day. I have lots of vlogging to catch up on and so decide that Chris can be left to captain the boat ((very convenient since it was raining!)) I popped out to do a little bit of vlogging and Chris tried out his new heated gloves which I’d bought him for Christmas as it’s still cold.

It’s a seven-mile cruise with no locks and we finally moor at Gayton junction just before the facilities. We didn’t want to cruuse too much further in this weather and we found a nice spot to stay as tomorrow looks like another inside day. We went for a little walk later just to check out the facilities and make sure they were working and we need some kindling as the temperatures are still low enough that we need to light the fire and we have run out but the marina is shut when we get there so will have to try again tomorrow.

Sorry if these blogs have been a little short ((oh believe me you don’t need to apologise. It’s a blessing!)) I’ve been suffering with bad headaches and the internet signal has been shocking for a four or five days now even though in real time we have been moving the boat to try and get a better signal so I’ve had to try and limit my screen time – very annoying! Anyway, day done. Until tomorrow. x
