No sign of Matt this morning so we still haven’t paid our dues, but we cant get off the river until early next month. Not only did Matt black the hull, sides and bottom but he also changed the top bearing of the rudder. I had tried several times to get the swan neck off with no luck. While they had the boat Rebekah painted a panel in the back cabin as well as repairing the warn scumbling.
Looking out of the side hatch we had ducks and a family of swans playing around. By the time we left at a few minutes to ten the swans had moved back down to their nest just below the marina.
We pulled in at the moorings by Anderton Lift to put the Bimini as it was hot again with a cloudless sky, We cruised downstream to moor for a few hours at Barnton and relax. After lunch we headed back upstream and pulled in at the town pontoon moorings to visit Asda for a few odds and ends (beer). Lots of their fridges and freezers are out of action with covers drawn down . That done we set off again for the short journey to the town moorings which a shaded by the riverside houses.
