Why do we do it? We know it wont be pretty come Monday morning after a Sunday session in the Pyewipe but does it stop us? Of course not!!Saturday saw us attempt a few of the jobs on our to do list. Of the three jobs we attempted to start, none were completed. But not through lack of trying. The new TV aerial needs an adapter to make it fit our existing fittings, the broken air heater outlet was a different type to the new replacement version and the two are not compatible and the VHF aerial connections are different to our existing ones so we need an adapter for that as well. So it wasnt for lack of trying but nothing was completed. Unless of course you count sticking the new British Waterways licence's in the window!!
Sunday saw us head to Morton Boats, chandlers for a morning browse around the shop and to strike a deal to trade our existing dinghy and outboard against a new inflatable dinghy that we can hang off the rear of the boat on snap davits. When we got back we decided to take a trip to the Pyewipe and the chaos followed swiftly before we returned to Burton Waters to finish off the session in Yots bar in the marina. We bailed out at 7pm in favour of returning the boat to her home berth and cooking the steaks we had. Before we both had showers then settled into bed at around 8.30pm.
An early night didnt however mean we escaped the hangovers and we both felt a little worse for wear with the hour and a half car journey from Lincoln to Sheffield not aiding matters. Still i am sure we will both survive and no doubt have a repeat performance next weekend!!
