Ever the optimists some friends and ourselves have decided
we are going to take our boats up the course of the Old River Witham to the pub
at Short Ferry. We did this last summer in the dinghies and we have tried it
before in Naughty-Cal but chickened out most of the way there because the depth of water was rapidly decreasing. We have since however found that although shallow in places we should in theory with the drives raised be able to reach the pub and nose into the bank side for ease of getting on and off the boats. This year we are determined that we are going to get the
boats moored up outside the pub so that we can spend the evening there, as it is a very friendly pub with a great atmosphere.
The perfect opportunity to try this out will be the Sunday
after the Lincoln Boat Club BBQ at Bardney Village moorings as it is only a
short hop up river from there. So fingers crossed we make it without too much
damage to the boats. We wont be changing the props before this trip!
