We can hardly believe that we are out on the cut for the first time in 2010. Where did 1/4 of the year go and how did it disappear so quickly??? Today is the 25th of March, our 15th Wedding Anniversary, and we decided that the best place to be was out on the canal, so here we are, back in Braunston. We've moored outside the Boat House again, not just because it is just a step up to the pub, but also, because by the time we floated into Braunston this afternoon, there were no moorings left!
We had a bit of a false start earlier, Bella deciding that forward gear was her direction of choice, no matter what Pete did with the throttle. We pulled back in to our mooring and Pete took the deck plates off and had a look. A few minutes later, he put the gear cable back where it should be and within 6 minutes, we were untied and out on the northern Oxford canal. Ahhhh... Then, of course it rained. Having had a beautiful warm, sunny and dry morning, within a few minutes on the cut, the mizzle started and then mixed with drizzle all the way to Bronny. Such is our boating life!
