Or not...........What was supposed to be a quiet relaxing weekend getting the boat ready for her imminent journey to York didn’t really go according to plan. We had both had hard days at work on Friday so decided to go to the Pyewipe after dinner for a quiet pint. We were in the end joined by a couple of new friends we have recently met in the marina. We had a couple in the Pyewipe then headed into Lincoln where we stumbled across the Lincoln Boat Club’s bar which was open. So not wanting to be rude we called in for a couple of swift beers and a very friendly lot they are indeed.
Saturday we then promised would be a quiet day. We gave Cal a good exterior clean and then we went into Lincoln to do the shopping before heading off to Torksey for a quiet evening afloat. Or so we thought. In the end we had a lovely evening in the company of a couple from Farndon who are at the beginning of a two week break afloat on their new, to them, boat. So much beer flowed and the BBQ was lit and we drank the evening away before finally retiring to bed in the small hours.
Sunday we awoke relatively early and ate the biggest breakfast we have had for a while consisting of sausage, dry cure bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, eggs and beans. It was just what the doctor ordered and set us up for the day ahead. We had a nice relaxing cruise back to the marina where we met up with friends galore. The place was packed with boat owners a fair few of whom we have not seen in the two years we have owned Naughty-Cal. Finally the dust settled, the pontoons calmed down and the evening brought with it a more relaxed atmosphere as the crowds retreated home. We had a fantastic home cooked curry a couple of swift beers and a much needed early night ready for our journey to work this morning which is a whole story in itself!!
