Down to Thrupp

1st October

In the event - after debates last night about whether to move first and varnish second - we tackled the first section of the varnishing in the galley area. Sanding down and two coats took us close to lunch time.

After demolishing a freshly baked loaf from the boatyard we set off shortly before 2 o'clock. We headed south in order to meet up with the girls, probably some time tomorrow.

It was a wonderful afternoon, bright and warm sunshine which felt as if we were still benefitting from summer! OK, so it is likely to get quite cold overnight - especially with such clear skies - but let's enjoy it while we have it!

We broke no speed records as we ambled down to Thrupp. After a quick stop to refresh the elsan, we found a mooring spot close to the Thrupp pub and village. Amazingly it was also a good spot for the satellite dish and it was set up in record time!
