Bella gets a wash

We're moored up in Croxley Green today, a few short miles and locks northwest from Rickmansworth. We are edging up to Hemel and Berkhamsted to be in nice moorings while Elizabeth trains around the immediate world in July. We moored up by the water point just after the last lock at around 12:30 and Elizabeth thought she'd give Bella a light wash down with the hose. Well, one thing led to another and by 4:30 and moored for the night, Bella had a full clean, rinse, and polish. Washing and polishing a car is one thing. Doing this to a 69 foot hunk of steel is quite another, but hey. We even brass cleaned her tiller handle. Pete would take a photo, but the glare would be just too much.
