On Friday evening. 18th June, the rain that had been persistent and at times heavy all day lessened and we thought deeply about our options. We need to be in Warwick on Wednesday. The Best Mate suggested that Alex and I could leave her at home and take the boat as far as we could on Saturday. To do that we decided to go to the boat on Friday evening.
As we drove to The Wharf Inn, Fenny Compton the rain stopped.
When we got to the boat we found the front mooring pin had been pulled out and the mooring line was dragging in the water. Thank goodness we had also moored with a centre rope. But rather than attempt a more secure mooring we decided to start the engine and cruise to a more place where we coould safely moor agaist Armco with piling clips.
We cruised for 45 minutes to just past Griffin's Bridge 131 where we stopped and settled down to watch England v Scotland. What a disappointment.
We retired for the night just after the full time whistle.
