Dunchurch pool marina

Apart from the fireworks last night was surprisingly quiet. I went out about 8pm and there was ice on  the top of the boats and the ropes were stiff, but as the evening progressed the temperature kept slowly rising and was about 3°C this morning. As we were rather late to bed last night and not far to go today we were a bit late getting away.
It actually felt much cooler than yesterday and we were soon passing the Waterside Pub and this sign always amuses me, there have been boats permanently moored her for at least a year.DSCF1369

We chugged straight past the entrance to our marina to moor just before the entrance to Dunchurch Pool Marina for the night.By now the temperature was pushing 6°C and by 3PM it was raining, well after we had moored up.

As its the end of year a few statistics, our lowest ever excluding Covid.
