Over too Soon

What a cracking weekend and a shame it is over so soon. We have successfully completed all the jobs on our weekends to do list and a few more to boot and have has a lovely time with friends enjoying the boat as well.

Saturday saw us up and about early with the intention of finishing the work early ang cracking on. So whilst I started the spring clean of the galley, the OH started work on the dashboard and as you can see he has made a smashing job of installing the new grab handle. All of the worrying was for nothing. The handle looks like it should always have been there. The srping clean of the galley didnt take as long as expected and within the hour it was looking sparkly and clean. Somehow I took a huge black bag of rubbish from the galley. I didnt think it was large enough, but now we have loads of room to store things. Maybe we dont need a bigger boat after all!!

The LED cockpit lighting was installed and has made a huge difference to the light levels in the cockpit. Not only do we now benefit from more light but we are using less power. Excellent. And then last up was filling up with diesel again. A further 60 litres of diesel has filled the tank to the very top. Finally it was time to enjoy the boat. So we had a quick trip into Lincoln before heading back to Saxilby for a few quiet drinks afloat.

Yesterday was a peaceful morning of waging war on the crossword puzzle before having a fabulous brunch of bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes and poached eggs, then heading to the Pyewipe Inn for a few drinks with friends, then heading back to watch the sun set listen to some music and prepare a lovely sunday lunch. All in all an amazingly good weekend and it was finished off with the most amazing scenery on the way to work this morning. Such a shame the weekend is over so soon.
