Dodging Weather

The weather forecast is really trying to play havoc with our plans for this weekend. First it was wet weather all weekend and now it is wet weather and strong winds tonight.

So instead of trying to battle our way all the way to Torksey in the dark, rain and wind tonight we have decided that we will get part way there and ride out the storm in Saxilby. Which will offer a little more shelter then either our home mooring or Torksey from the buffeting of the wind.

It does mean that we have an earlier then planned start tomorrow morning to get to Torksey for our 9am locking onto the Trent. But it still won't be too early. We can get up at 7am and get the dog walked and fed and still have plenty of time for a steady cruise on the Fossdyke.

We will not be defeated by this weather. We are going to West Stockwith!

  1. Looks like you picked a good day for a quick blast up the Trent

  2. It was lovely out on the river today. Great weather for it. Unfortunately an impeller problem meant we didn't get the good long run we expected. But that is changed now so hopefully tomorrow we will get a decent run.
