Icy March


It's nearly the middle of March and you may have guessed that we're still moored in Blue Haven. We have been so busy for work and it has been so cold that we've taken the choice to stay put for a while. Though we love travelling, it is lovely to have the choice to move or not. These ducks are working on their ice skating.

There has been ice again and again, and the water is so cold that when we returned from a few working days away, it took some time for dear Bella to come up to temperature again. But all is well now. We're making plans for an April setting out on the cut, after Bella goes into sheds. She's going to have a significant repaint on some bits and repair on others and will get new roof vents. We'll show her off in all her shiny status when done.
