Friday night brings another cruise. The weather stayed fine after this morning's thunderstorm, so we set out with Elizabeth at the tiller most of the time. Such fun! Profound apologies to our tillerwomen friends, but this is the first time Elizabeth both winded (turned Bella) and piloted the whole length of a tunnel. Just never winded, no real reason. Better eyes and no oncoming boat glare, so finally, the tunnel could be done. Her grin was notable!
We've been in Crick for the week, moored up in our usual place, just near the bridge after the tunnel. We loved it there last year, having such beautiful stark contrast from our previous home mooring. This year? Nice, but because it was so very shady, it was a dark contrast to our gorgeous home mooring. So we noticed things. Like very poor data coverage and only slightly better phone network. So really, we were glad to go!
