It isn’t
very often we get the chance to visit Naughty-Cal during the week but with our
pending big bank holiday trip we had a few things to sort out before the
weekend arrives. So we packed our bags and headed back to Lincoln for the evening
which did mean another early start this morning but sometimes it is worth it.
First up
was topping up the diesel. Another 60 litres in the tank saw it almost brimmed
to the top. So our estimate of 125 litres for our trip to Leeds wasn’t too far
off and if anything a little on the high side as although we have not been
anywhere for the last two weekends due to the weather, the diesel heating has
been on for pretty much the whole two weekends. With the fuel tank now full Cal
is ready for the off.
Next up was
a quick clean of the cabin interior. It was mainly just a quick vacuum that was
needed and a quick wipe around soon saw her gleaming again. Last up was
refilling the water tank. It has been sometime since we last treated our water
so for good measure we added a couple of sterilising tablets to help keep the
nasties at bay. With this lot ticked off the list we settled in for a hearty
dinner of massive sirloin steaks, fried egg, oyster mushrooms and grilled beef
tomatoes.
With the
fridge topped up with Budweiser, Naughty-Cal is now ready to go straight away
on Friday night. All we will have to do is load up our food and clothing for
the long weekend then turn the key and set sail. All of this is assuming the
flood gates are open and the River Trent has calmed down a little mind,
otherwise we won’t be going anywhere.
